Let's connect with reporters from the National Assembly to find out more about the state affairs investigation.

I'll go to the scene.



Reporter Ahn Hee-jae, the ruling party's decision to participate in the state affairs investigation was influenced by the meeting with the bereaved family, as seen earlier.



<Reporter>



Yes, on the surface, it cannot be said that the meeting with the bereaved family was not affected at all in that he made a sudden return declaration right after the meeting with the bereaved family.



However, there are also observations that have already made a decision to return before the meeting with the bereaved family.



Yesterday (19th), while the budget agreement was postponed without a promise, the special committee on state affairs was kicked off with only three parties.



Starting tomorrow, a series of field investigations and agency reports will begin, but it seems that the ruling party's non-participation may give the opposition party an excuse to launch an offensive.



Here, it is also interpreted that the recent controversy over the 'secondary harm' from the passport and the stinging public opinion about the 49th absence also acted as a burden.

You had such a background.

Then, will the National Assembly investigation begin in earnest from tomorrow?



<Reporter>



Yes, the members of the ruling and opposition parties are scheduled to visit the Itaewon joint incense burner for their first on-site investigation tomorrow morning, pay condolences, and move to the site of the disaster to receive a briefing.



On the 27th and 29th, reports will be made to related organizations such as the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, Yongsan District Office, and Seoul City Hall, after conducting field investigations on the 23rd and tomorrow.



It is fortunate that the government investigation, in which both the ruling and opposition parties participated, has begun, but there are reefs everywhere.



There is a big difference between the opposition parties over the key witnesses adopted by the opposition party alone, including the head of the anti-corruption department of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, and the opposition party strongly insists on extending the deadline for the government investigation, while the ruling party is in an atmosphere of drawing a line, so there is a possibility of conflict.
