<Anchor> In the



early morning of the 25th, at the National Assembly Legislative and Judiciary Committee, the Democratic Party independently decided on the Media Arbitration Act. The bill will be brought to the plenary session today, and the people's strength is in the position of going all-out to block the passage of the bill.



Reporter Lee Hyun-young reports.



<Reporter> The



amendment to the Media Arbitration Act, which allows media companies to claim up to five times punitive damages, passed the National Assembly Judiciary Committee alone.



The People's Power lawmakers argued that the review of the bill was delayed and that the Judiciary Committee would be held the other day to discuss it again, but when the Democrats refused, saying "there has already been enough consultation," they protested and left.



Prior to the full-scale review, there was a debate over the revision of the Media Arbitration Act between lawmakers from the People's Power and Justice Minister Park Beom-gye.



When Rep. Kwon Seong-dong, from the People's Power, criticized Minister Park for saying that he would support the media while serving as the head of the countermeasures team at the time of the 'Jung Yun-hoe document leak incident', Minister Park raised his voice and shouted at each other.



[Bakbeomgye / Minister of Justice: and the time now is too different, the (then) Judiciary Chairman Is gyesiji who Issues Chairman's he knew so well named.]



: Cocky, where aneunde asking [gwonseongdong / the national forces Senator (beopsawi won) You're answering



mere words

, the hell.]

[Park Beom-gye/Minister of Justice: What are you talking about? Now.]



[Kwon Seong-dong/People’s Power Rep. (Judicial Member): What are you doing?]



The amendment to the Media Arbitration Act, which passed the Judiciary Committee, is presented to the plenary session today, but the opposition does not rule out the possibility of entering into an unrestricted discussion to delay the time at today's plenary session, so a clash between the ruling and opposition parties seems inevitable.
