In an interview with reporters at the doorstep of his office in Yongsan Thursday, President Yoon was apparently displeased with the police chief’s blitzkrieg-like decision. Yoon called it a case of “critical lack of discipline” and an “unfathomable mistake” by a government official. The president wondered how such transfers could be made before he heard opinions from the minister of the interior and safety, who commands the police, and without his own approval. In response, the National Police Agency first said that it had made the mistake of sending a reshuffle plan, which was not final, to the minister. But later, the agency accused the interior ministry of having submitted a wrong version to the presidential office. The episode took place on the day when recommendations were made by an advisory committee for the minister on democratic ways to control the police, whose power will get bigger after prosecutors are entirely deprived of their investigative authority in September. … [Read more...] about Fixing the appointment system for the police (KOR)

Dr Nina Gloriani said that the issue of economy and health amid the pandemic should be a “balancing act.” “There should be a balancing act. We have to open up our economy as well. On the other hand, I would rather normalize the situation. What we don’t want to see is that our healthcare system is compromised and a lot of people will be brought to the ICU, hospitalised, or even die,” Gloriani said in an interview on One News PH Wednesday (June 22) night. “But so far, we have not seen that in our hospitals, so we still see some protection from the vaccines we deployed,” she added.
