The ruling and opposition parties agreed on the 30th to hold a two-day comprehensive policy inquiry session of the National Assembly's Special Committee on Budget & Accounts for this year's second supplementary budget review. Accordingly, the People Power Party lawmakers who had been absent from the morning meeting of the Special Committee on Budget & Accounts decided to lift their boycott and attend the afternoon inquiry.
Democratic Party of Korea spokesperson Kim Hyun-jung noted through an announcement, "The comprehensive policy inquiry of the Special Committee on Budget & Accounts has been agreed to take place today and tomorrow for two days," adding, "People Power Party lawmakers will also attend from the afternoon inquiry." This accepted the demands of the People Power Party.
Earlier, the supplementary budget review by the Special Committee on Budget & Accounts was in disarray from the morning. The Special Committee on Budget & Accounts, chaired by Democratic Party of Korea member Han Byeong-do, had announced a schedule stating that it would conduct a comprehensive policy inquiry for the supplementary budget review that day and that it would review and vote on the supplementary budget on the budget subcommittee on the 1st of next month and on the 3rd.
In response, the People Power Party protested that the Democratic Party unilaterally decided and notified the inquiry schedule without prior consultation and demanded that the comprehensive policy inquiry be conducted for two days instead of one. When the demand was not accepted, they declared a boycott, stating they could not cooperate with the supplementary budget review. As the People Power Party commissioners left collectively, only the commissioners from the Democratic Party and the Rebuilding Korea Party attended the morning comprehensive policy inquiry.
