Democracy only conditional on 'preliminary budget bill and then government investigation'... Shall I accept the power?

<Anchor> The

ruling and opposition parties are continuing a tug-of-war one day ahead of the exclusive handling of the government investigation into the Itaewon disaster, which was announced by the three opposition parties, including the Democratic Party.

The Democratic Party positively evaluated the plan of’preliminary budget bill processing, post-government investigation’ proposed by the people’s power, but put conditions, and the key is whether the people’s power will accept it.

Democratic Party held a general meeting of lawmakers yesterday (22nd), and evaluated the plan of’preliminary budget bill processing, post-governmental investigation’ proposed by the people’s power as “a forward-looking and advanced position.”

[Park Hong-geun/Democratic Party Representative: For the issue of conducting a full-scale government investigation immediately after (processing the budget bill), it can be done after going through the preliminary preparation process.

] To this end, the condition was that a special committee for parliamentary investigation should be held today to prepare a draft for the election of the chairman and secretary.

People's Power Ho-young Joo said that the Democratic Party's acceptance of the proposal was progress, and that the Democratic Party had sent new opinions about the period and scope of the state affairs investigation.

At the same time, he announced that he would hold a general meeting of lawmakers at 9 am today to set the party's position.

[Ho-Young Joo/President of People's Power: I think that I will do it after processing the budget bill, and that itself is a little progress.

We are going to open a meeting to decide whether we will accept the Democratic Party's proposal or maintain our existing position.]

If the Democratic Party does not reach an agreement with the people's strength, it is a situation where Bae Su-jin said that only the 3 party lawmakers could 'open the gate' after the plenary session tomorrow. It seems that it will be decided whether it will be implemented or not.
