野 與 protests against the raising of the issue of Yang Kyung-sook… Lunar New Year’s Eve
On the 17th, the Budget and Settlement Fund Examination Subcommittee of the National Assembly Steering Committee (preliminary subcommittee) broke down after a battle between the ruling and opposition parties over an amendment to the enforcement decree that would give the head of the Presidential Security Service the “right to command and supervise” the military and police put into security work.
In addition, Democratic Party lawmaker Yang Gyeong-sook pointed out a problem with the amendment to the enforcement ordinance through a procedural remark during the review of the budget bill for the Presidential Security Service, and lawmakers of the People’s Power protested harshly, saying that it was a remark unrelated to the agenda.
As the war of words continued between the ruling and opposition parties on the 18th, close to midnight, the so-called chairman, Jin Seong-joon, senior deputy floor leader of the Democratic Party, declared a suspension of the meeting.
Since then, the people’s power lawmakers have not returned to the conference hall, and only the Democratic Party lawmakers are holding meetings alone until the dawn of the 18th after changing the order.
The power of the people is in the position that they will not participate in agendas that have not been agreed in advance, and it is expected that it will be difficult for the ruling and opposition parties to resume the review together overnight.
Apart from the current cripple, it is expected that the steering committee will continue to struggle with the budget review under the jurisdiction of the presidential office.
An official from the steering committee said, “The presidential office’s special activity expenses and the management budget for the relocation of Yongsan, which were initially at issue, have already been put on hold.”
The Democratic Party is insisting on cuts of 2.96 billion won for facility management and improvement projects and 2 billion won for the establishment of the National Cyber Security Management Center among the budget for the management of the relocation of the presidential office, and the people’s power insists on shooting the original bill.
Even with the presidential office special activity expenses, the power of the people insisted on passing the government’s original bill set at 8.251 billion won, while the Democratic Party insisted on a reduction of around 5 billion won, and it was reported that they could not narrow the difference of opinion.
Even if the Democratic Party alone decides on a plan for reduction in the Preliminary Subcommittee, Ho-young Joo, the head of the People’s Power, the head of the steering committee, refuses to submit and vote on it at the plenary meeting, and the government’s original bill can be handed over to the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts of the National Assembly. There is also a prospect.
