The Democratic Party of Korea said it would consider convening a plenary session on the 10th to handle the special act on investment in the United States if it does not pass by the deadline, which the ruling and opposition parties agreed to meet by the 9th.
Floor spokesperson Kim Hyun-jung told reporters after the caucus on the 1st, "If the special act is not handled before the 9th, there is a possibility that a plenary session will be held on the 10th to deal with the bill."
Kim, the floor spokesperson, emphasized, "This is a matter the ruling and opposition parties agreed to handle by the 9th," adding, "We need to discuss the bill's introduction and the formation of the subcommittee on schedule, but if it does not proceed or the handling falls through, the Democratic Party will have no choice but to handle it at the plenary session."
They said the specific handling method would be explained later. Floor leader Han Byung-do is scheduled to hold a related press briefing at the National Assembly on the 2nd.
Meanwhile, Kim, the floor spokesperson, criticized the People Power Party over the special act on administrative integration of Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province, saying, "A public apology is needed for flip-flopping while calculating political gains and losses."
Kim went on to urge, "Not only for Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province but also for the administrative integration of South Chungcheong and Daejeon, the party must set and present a single position as its party line."
