Han Byung-do: "Party, Government, and Blue House Must Unite to Reflect on Responsibilities... Second Half of National Assembly Is a Turning Point for the Future"

Han Byung-do, Acting Representative and Floor Leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated today (July 3) regarding the operation of the second half of the 22nd National Assembly, "We will become a National Assembly that produces results as much as we work without rest."

During the lawmakers' workshop held at the Seoul Dragon City Hotel today, the Acting Representative emphasized, "The second half of the National Assembly, especially until the end of this year, is another turning point that will determine the future of the Republic of Korea."

He continued, "We will ensure that the legislation for the major national tasks of the Lee Jae-myung administration is completed by the end of this year," adding, "Today's workshop will be an opportunity for the party, government, and the Blue House to become one, reflect on the responsibilities of the ruling party, and pledge to complete legislation for the public's livelihood without any setbacks."

Regarding the seven standing committees of the National Assembly that were left for the opposition party after his party unilaterally elected chairpersons for 11 standing and special committees, Acting Representative Han mentioned, "I hear there are many concerns within our ministries," and added, "I have heard that there is much deliberation over whether we might be unable to process national task legislation quickly."

He then stated, "Please do not worry, as we will ensure that nothing goes wrong through legal amendments," and reiterated plans for revisions to the National Assembly Act, which include strengthening requirements for filibusters and shortening the period for fast-track legislation.
