President Lee returns from overseas trip, plans market policy meeting

In parallel, the primary opposition party, the People Power Party (PPP), has publicly urged President Lee to exercise his veto power on a recently passed legislative bill. This bill aims to abolish the prosecution's direct investigative powers. The PPP contends that this legislation would undermine the rule of law and potentially shield criminals from accountability.

Additionally, disability rights activists conducted a protest on Seoul's subway system, causing brief suspensions of service on Lines 1 and 4. The group's primary demand is for increased government budget allocation to support disabled individuals. The protest highlights ongoing concerns regarding resource allocation for vulnerable populations.

President Lee is expected to address market policies following his return from an overseas trip. The PPP's call for a veto on the prosecution reform bill presents a significant legislative challenge for his administration. The disability rights group's protest underscores persistent social demands for greater financial support.
