The National Assembly Steering Committee audit against the Blue House went awry from the start due to clashes between the ruling and opposition parties.
At the national inspection of the Blue House Secretariat, National Security Office, and Security Office held at the National Assembly Steering Committee today (26th), People's Power lawmakers appeared wearing masks and ribbons with enemy phrases such as 'Accept the Daejang-dong Gate Special Prosecutor's Office'.
Accordingly, the audit was stopped within 30 minutes of the start as Democratic lawmakers strongly opposed it.
Prior to the start of the Blue House work report, Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Seong-hwan applied for a speech in the proceedings and argued, "Opposition lawmakers have been wearing slogans and ribbons that are not related to the Blue House. I did.
Democratic Party lawmakers Han Jun-ho and Kim Byung-ju also raised their voices, saying, "You must not drag the national government to the election board."
Then, Lim Ja, a member of the People's Power, retorted, "The frog doesn't remember the days when it was a tadpole. Did you forget what the Democratic Party did when it was the opposition party? It was a spectacle at the time."
People's Power lawmakers Jeon Joo-hye and Kang Min-guk also criticized, saying, "I express my condolences to the Democratic Party, which ignores and crushes 70% of the people's request for a special prosecutor."
Points and shouts arose between lawmakers from the ruling and opposition parties, and National Assembly Steering Committee Chairman Yun Ho-jung declared, "I cannot but express my deepest regret for inviting political strife."
Immediately after the declaration of the suspension of auditing, Kim Jung-jae, a member of the People's Power, said, "Is it necessary to bow down like this in front of the Blue House?"
The National Assembly, which went limp in 30 minutes due to clashes between the ruling and opposition parties, has not resumed as of 2 pm.
