President Yoon Suk Yeol exercised his veto power against the opposition-led Nursing Act, Tuesday, despite continued calls from nurses to sign it into law.
윤석열 대통령이 간호사들의 지속적인 법안 통과 요구에도 불구하고 야당이 주도한 간호법에 대해 화요일 거부권을 행사했다.

The president made the decision during a Cabinet meeting, siding with doctors, nursing assistants and other medical workers, who claim the act will only divide the medical profession and cause conflict and confusion.
대통령은 국무회의에서 의사, 간호조무사, 여타 의료 종사자들의 편을 들어 이 같은 결정을 내렸는데, 이들은 간호법이 의료계를 분열시키고 갈등과 혼란을 가져올 뿐이라고 주장하고 있다.

 

make a decision = give one's decision = determinate = decide = settle 결정을 내리다, 결정하다

cabinet meeting = cabinet council 각료회의

In protest against the president's decision that could eventually lead to the scrapping of the bill, the nurses' association threatened to begin collective action.
사실 상 법안 폐지로 이어질 수 있는 윤 대통령의 이 같은 결정에 반발해 간호사협회는 집단 행동에 나서겠다고 으름장을 놓았다.

 

in protest against ~에 항의하여, ~에 분개하여

lodge a protest against ~에 대해 항의하다, ~에 대해 이의를 제기하다

protest marches 항의성 가두 행진, 가두 시위

under proteset 이의를 제기하면서, 군소리를 하면서

Independent from the Medical Services Act, the Nursing Act is aimed at clarifying the scope of nurses' duties and improving their working conditions. Nurses claim the Medical Services Act views them as being subordinate to physicians.
간호사법은 의료법과는 별개로 간호사의 직무 범위를 명확히 하고 근무 여건을 개선하는 것을 목적으로 하고 있다. 간호사들은 의료법이 자신들을 의사들에게 종속된 것으로 보고 있다고 주장한다.

 

independent from ~와는 별개로, ~로부터 독립된

be aimed at = be intended to = have an object in view = have a purpose of = focus on = contentrate on = center on ~을 목표로 하다, ~을 겨냥하다, ~의 의도롤 가지고 있다

clarify = make sure = manifest = articulate = assure = assert = confirm 확실하게 나타내다, 명확히하다, 분명히 하다

improve the working condition 근무 여건을 개선하다

subordinate = inferior = low-ranking = below = lower = adjunct = dependent = ancillary = auxiliary 종속적인, 부가적인, 부수적인

 


Also, due to ambiguities in the current law, nurses say they are often forced to perform duties outside of their job descriptions, leading to overwork and difficulty in providing quality care for patients.
간호사들은 또 현행법의 모호성 때문에 업무 내용 외의 업무를 수행해야 하는 경우가 많고, 이로 인해 환자들에게 양질의 치료를 제공하는 데 어려움을 겪고 있다고 말했다.

 

ambiguity = blurriness = vagueness = obscurity = indistictness = unclearness = nebulousity 불분명함, 애매함, 모호함

be forced to = be compelled to = be obliged ~하도록 강요 받다, ~하도록 강제받다

job discriptions 직무 내용, 업무 내용

overwork 과로, 혹사, 과로하다, 혹사하다

overtime 초과근무, 시간외 근무, 잔업, 야근

quality 고급의, 양질의, 끝내주는, 질, 우수함, 고급, 양질

 


But doctors call the Nursing Act "an evil law," claiming that its enactment may allow nurses to intervene in the duties of physicians, causing confusion in hospitals, which may threaten patients' safety.
하지만 의사들은 간호법이 제정되면 간호사들이 의사의 직무에 개입할 수 있게 돼 병원에 혼란을 초래하고 환자의 안전을 위협할 수 있다고 주장하며 이를 '악법'으로 보고 있다.

 

enactment = legalization = legislation = codification = legitimacy = lawfulness = legality 입법화, 법률화, 제정화, 적법, 합법

intervene = meddle = interfere = butt in = break in = interrupt = intrude into 개입하다, 참견하다, 방해하다, 간섭하다

threaten = menace = pose a threat to = intimidate = blackmail 위협하다, 협박하다

 


A veto override requires a two-thirds vote in the National Assembly. Falling short of that majority leads to the scrapping of the bill.
대통령이 거부권을 행사한 법안에 대해 국회가 재의결을 하려면 출석 의원의 3분의 2 이상의 찬성이 필요하다. 3분의 2에 미치지 못하면 법안 폐기로 이어진다.

The presidential veto came 20 days after the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea (DPK), which controls more than half of the 300-seat National Assembly, railroaded the law at the Assembly's plenary session, despite a boycott by the ruling People Power Party and fierce opposition from medical workers except nurses.
대통령 거부권 행사는 여당인 국민의힘과 간호사를 제외한 의료인들의 격렬한 반대에도 불구하고 국회의원 300석 가운데 절반 이상을 차지하고 있는 민주당이 국회 본회의에서 법안을 강행 처리한 지 20일 만에 이뤄졌다.

"The Nursing Act has caused excessive conflict between medical professionals," Yoon said during the Cabinet meeting. "The move to separate nursing from medical institutions has also caused people to feel anxious about their health. It was regrettable that the Assembly failed to resolve such conflict and anxiety during its deliberation."
윤 대통령은 국무회의에서 "간호법안은 의료인들 사이에 과도한 갈등을 불러일으키고 있다"며 "간호 업무의 탈 의료기관화는 국민들의 건강에 대한 불안감을 초래하고 있다. 충분한 숙의 과정에서 해소되지 못한 점이 많아 아쉽다"고 꼬집었다.
