With the National Assembly's plenary session held today, the legal deadline for next year's budget bill, attention is being paid to whether the opposition party's sole reduction budget will be enforced for the first time in constitutional history.

Whether a dramatic compromise will be reached between the floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties before the plenary session or whether the extreme confrontation will continue, today is expected to be a major watershed.

I'm connecting with the National Assembly reporter, reporter Lim Sung-jae!

[Reporter]
Yes, it's the National Assembly.

There was also news that a meeting of floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties was scheduled, but is it currently taking place?

[Reporter]
Initially, Choo Kyung-ho and Park Chan-dae, floor leaders of the Democratic Party of Korea, agreed to meet at the National Assembly Speaker's Office from 11:10 a.m.

However, the meeting was delayed due to the visit to the chairman's office by ruling party lawmakers, including floor leader Choo, and

As of now, it is said that the meeting has been canceled at all.

Only Park Chan-dae, floor leader of the Democratic Party, is visiting the chairman's office to discuss opinions.

Chairman Woo has set up a final discussion on whether to deal with the opposition-led reduction plan, which was reduced by KRW 4.1 trillion from KRW 677.4 trillion, at the afternoon plenary session.

The cut items are representative of reserve funds and special activity costs for assessment agencies, but it is unclear whether the ruling and opposition parties will be able to find a point of contact as they are in parallel.

The power of the people is that the Democratic Party of Korea is staging a hostage crisis with the people as hostage.

Representative Han Dong-hoon criticized in the morning meeting that the Democratic Party of Korea's reduction of police special expenses used for security while maintaining the National Assembly's special expenses shows a far-from-the-people perspective.Let's listen to



[Han Dong-hoon / Representative of People's Power: (The Democratic Party) has kept the National Assembly's special expenses alive and made it zero for the police to keep the people comfortable at night]

Floor leader Choo Kyung-ho also called it typical "Lee Jae-myung-style politics," saying that the Democratic Party of Korea handled the budget cut in the background while pretending to negotiate an increase.

Some within the ruling party say that if the opposition party unilaterally handles the budget, it will inevitably disrupt local pending projects, so the Democratic Party will be fully responsible for it.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party is sticking to the idea that there should be a forward-looking change in the government and the ruling party.

At a leadership meeting in Daegu, Lee Jae-myung pointed out that it is embarrassing that he will not be able to live with cuts in special activity costs.

In particular, the ruling party poured out its determined remarks over a 2.4 trillion won cut in reserve funds, which showed a sharp response.Let's listen to



[Lee Jae-myung / Minjoo Party leader: The government has also set aside 4.8 trillion won in reserve funds. Are you saying you're going to use them for any purpose at any time? How difficult is the current financial situation, and do you have a reserve fund of nearly 5 trillion won?]

He criticized the government's proposal, saying, "There has been no case that the annual reserve used has exceeded 1.5 trillion won since the Corona crisis.

National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, who holds the key to the budget proposal, is expected to decide whether to deal with it after last-minute consideration, including listening to the positions of the floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties.

At this afternoon's plenary session, the impeachment motion against the Board of Audit and Inspection of Korea Choi Hae-soo and the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office chief Lee Chang-soo is also expected to rise, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, the ruling and opposition parties are also clashing over the "impeachment bill of the auditor and the prosecutor."

The opposition party plans to report to the plenary session today the impeachment motion against three prosecutors, including Choi Hae-sa, chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection, and Lee Chang-soo, chief of the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office.

The plan is to vote on it at the plenary session held the day after tomorrow.

Opposition parties say the impeachment drive is due to an audit related to the illegal relocation of the presidential office and the official residence or the lack of investigation into Kim's alleged stock price manipulation, but

The ruling party strongly opposes the Democratic Party's 'retaliation impeachment' against the assessment agency.

Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the People's Power Party, also pointed out at the morning meeting that the Democratic Party of Korea is going to impeach those who investigated or investigated them, and that it is driving the Republic of Korea into anarchy.

So far, I'm YTN Lim Sungjae in the National Assembly.
