In addition, the Democratic Party of Korea said it will pass four agricultural bills, including the Grain Management Act, which requires the government to implement price measures such as purchasing excess rice production, at the plenary session tomorrow (28th).
At a press conference at the National Assembly, Chairman of the Policy Committee Jin Sung-joon said, "The so-called 'Four Laws on Agricultural People' is an alternative to the government's failure of agriculture, and I hope that President Yoon Suk Yeol will not exercise his veto power this time."
Rep. Lee Won-taek, secretary of the National Assembly's Agriculture, Food, Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Committee, stressed that he will push for Song's dismissal proposal, saying that Song Mi-ryeong, the Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, is making absurd remarks rather than offering an alternative.
Earlier, Minister Song expressed his intention to propose to President Yoon to exercise his right to demand reconsideration, protesting that the bills pushed by the opposition party are the "Four Farming Laws" that ruin the future of agriculture.
The four bills passed by the opposition alone include the Grain Control Act, the Agricultural and Fishery Disaster Insurance Act, and the Agricultural and Fishery Disaster Countermeasures Act.
The Grain Act requires the government to implement measures such as purchasing excess production if rice prices plunge or soar, and the Agricultural and Marine Products Price Stabilization Act mandates production targets and implementation plans to maintain agricultural prices.
The Agricultural and Fishery Disaster Countermeasures Act requires the establishment and implementation of a basic plan for agricultural and fishery disasters every five years, and the Agricultural and Fishery Growth Insurance Act includes pests and diseases covered by agricultural and fishery disaster insurance.
