While the plenary session of the National Assembly will be held shortly, the passage of next year's budget, or the opposition party's single reduction plan, which is in sharp conflict between the ruling and opposition parties, has been put on hold for a while.

National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik held an emergency press conference and urged the ruling and opposition parties to agree by the 10th, saying they would not deal with the budget today.

However, the impeachment motion, including the chairman of the Board of Audit and Inspection and prosecutors promoted by the Democratic Party, will be reported to the plenary session.

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

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

In the end, Speaker Woo has started to mediate between the ruling and opposition parties.

Please tell me the background of the decision to suspend the proposal in detail.

[Reporter]
National Assembly Speaker Woo Won-sik, who intervened between the ruling and opposition parties, eventually decided not to present next year's budget bill to the National Assembly plenary session.

The decision was made shortly after the "three-way meeting" with Choo Kyung-ho, floor leader of the People's Power, and Park Chan-dae of the Democratic Party, which was originally expected to take place, was canceled.

Instead, Chairman Woo met with the floor leaders of the ruling and opposition parties, respectively.

Later, he held a press conference and urged the ruling and opposition parties to agree on next year's budget by the 10th, the last day of the regular parliamentary session.

Let's hear the related remarks.

[Won-Sik Woo / Speaker of the National Assembly: The government should be more committed to expanding the budget for people's livelihoods and the future. Again, we ask for more mature discussions between the ruling and opposition parties and the government's active efforts.

However, negotiations are expected to be turbulent in the future due to the wide gap between the ruling and opposition parties over the opposition-led reduction plan, which has decreased by KRW 4.1 trillion from 677.4 trillion in reserve funds and special activities of assessment agencies.

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

In particular, he made it clear at last week's Budget and Accounts Committee that there would be no further negotiations unless the opposition apologized for "slapping" the cuts.

Let's listen to floor leader Choo Kyung-ho's remarks.

## [Receiving] Emergency Committee Meeting on People's Power #4

[Choo Kyung-ho / People's Power Floor Leader]: Repeal the budget bill that was passed by the National Assembly Budget Committee and apologize. If so, we will not engage in further negotiations, any further negotiations.]

Earlier, representative Han Dong-hoon also criticized the Democratic Party of Korea's reduction of police special expenses used for security while maintaining the National Assembly's special expenses, saying that it shows a view that is far from the public.

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.

The opposition party tried to talk to the ruling party with sincerity, but blamed the ruling party for the disruptions surrounding the budget bill, saying the people's power did not respond.

Let's hear Park Chan-dae's remarks.

[Park Chan-dae / Floor Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea: We are not receiving any suggestions from Chairman Choo Kyung-ho. Our opposition party has no power to increase the amount, so we have no choice but to reduce the amount...]

Chairman Lee Jae-myung also said at a leadership meeting that it is embarrassing that he will not be able to survive due to cuts in special activity costs, and pointed out that it is difficult to understand the composition of nearly 5 trillion won in reserve funds claimed by the government and the ruling party.

In a little while, 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 expected to be raised at the plenary session, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, it is expected that the "impeachment bill of the auditor and the prosecutor" pushed by the opposition party will be reported at the plenary session of the National Assembly soon.

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.
