Park Chan-dae's "Tomorrow's Budget for Reduction" Fountain of "Budget and Impeachment"

[Anchor]
Park Chan-dae, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said at a press conference a little while ago that he would propose and deal with next year's budget, which only reflects the opposition party's opinion on reducing the amount at tomorrow's plenary session.

Tensions in the political world are increasing in line with the report on the impeachment of three prosecutors, including the head of the Central District Prosecutors' Office, and the chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection Choi Hae-soo.

I'll connect you to the National Assembly and find out more. Reporter Lee Junyeop!

The floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties each predicted a meeting today, but first, tell us the news of the Democratic Party!

Park Chan-dae, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, held a press conference at 11 a.m. just a moment ago and said that he will upload both next year's budget and budget bill to the plenary session tomorrow.

For the first time in constitutional history, the Special Committee on Budget and Accounts will be carried out at the plenary session with only the reduction applied without an agreement between the ruling and opposition parties.Floor leader

Park explained that he has been trying to increase the budget, such as issuing local currency and maintaining free high school education, but it is inevitable because the agreement with the ruling party failed and the Ministry of Strategy and Finance did not agree to the increase.

The ruling party's criticism of the reduction of special activity expenses for power institutions as a "bulletproof budget" is an absurd claim, refuting that the special activity expenses have nothing to do with paralysis of state affairs or damage to the people.

Choo Kyung-ho, floor leader of the People's Power, will also hold a press conference at 2 p.m. to express his position on the budget bill.

First of all, the ruling party made a comment a little while ago, saying that the Democratic Party of Korea even gave up its people's livelihood budget for representative Lee Jae-myung's bulletproofness, and that it is regrettable that it forgot the essence of politics.

He then pointed out that the ruling and opposition parties did not reflect the budget for people's livelihood projects agreed at the standing committee at all, and that they cut government reserves in half when unpredictable things happened.

He also criticized that such retaliatory cuts seriously threaten the safety net of people's livelihoods, saying that special expenses and special expenses for investigating various crimes of people's livelihoods, including deepfakes, were also cut entirely because they were offended.

Amid the escalating confrontation between the two sides, National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik has proposed a dinner meeting to the floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties to discuss the budget bill this evening.

However, floor leader Choo Kyung-ho is said to be in a negative position.

Although tomorrow is the legal deadline, the possibility of additional last-minute negotiations cannot be ruled out as the budget bill can be postponed if the ruling and opposition parties agree under the National Assembly Act.

Previously, the National Assembly has been discussing the budget bill over the legal deadline, such as voting on December 24th in 2022 and December 21st last year.

Tomorrow's plenary session will also report on the impeachment of three prosecutors, including Lee Chang-soo, head of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

The ruling party is also strongly opposed to the report on the impeachment of the Board of Audit and Inspection, which the opposition party is pushing exclusively for, which is expected to be another watershed.

In addition to today, please deliver the schedule of the ruling and opposition parties.

The Women's, Medical, and Government Council, which has been evaluated as "half-sized" without opposition parties, the Korean Medical Association, and medical students' organizations, will hold its fourth meeting this afternoon.

Earlier on the 29th of last month, the Korean Medical Association decided to withdraw from the consultative body because it was difficult to confirm the change in the government's attitude toward medical school quotas.

We decided to attend this meeting to express our position, but there are observations that it could be the last meeting of the consultative body.

In the meantime, Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung will visit Daegu and Gyeongbuk for two days from today.

We plan to meet Governor Lee Chul-woo at the Gyeongbuk Provincial Office in Andong-si, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and visit Jukdo Market in Pohang City to hold a meeting with traditional markets.

Tomorrow, the Daegu Metropolitan City Party will preside over the on-site Supreme Council, and the visit to the TK area, where the ruling party is strong, is also interpreted as an outward expansion.

So far, I've delivered it to you by the National Assembly.
