The government decided not to submit six controversial bills that were handled solely by the opposition parties, including the Democratic Party of Korea, to the Cabinet meeting on the 17th. However, we plan to make a final decision on whether to submit it after deliberation this week.
An official from the Prime Minister’s Office said on the afternoon of the 16th, “We will postpone the presentation of the disputed bills at the Cabinet meeting tomorrow (17th).” The disputed bills are amendments to four agricultural laws, including the Grain Management Act, the Agricultural and Fishery Products Distribution and Price Stabilization Act, the Agricultural and Fishery Disaster Countermeasures Act, and the Agricultural and Fishery Disaster Insurance Act, which the opposition party passed at the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 28th of last month, as well as amendments to the National Assembly Act and the National Assembly Testimony Appraisal Act.
The deadline for vetoing the bills transferred to the government on the 6th is the 21st. The ruling and opposition parties are engaged in a war of nerves over whether to exercise the right to veto. The Democratic Party issued a threat, saying that if Acting President Han Deok-soo exercises his veto, it could proceed with impeachment, which had been temporarily put on hold. In response, the People Power Party warned, “The people will no longer tolerate politics of intimidation.”
