[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] The National Assembly convened a plenary session around 6:30 PM on the 13th to present and vote on the appointment consent bill for Prime Minister nominee Chung Sye-kyun. The Liberty Korea Party, which opposes the appointment, is also participating.

According to the National Assembly Act, the appointment consent bill for the Prime Minister nominee is conducted by secret ballot. The conditions require a majority of the total members to be present and a majority of those present to approve. Following this, a by-election bill for the vacant chairperson of the National Assembly Intelligence Committee, vacated by Lee Hye-hoon of the New Conservative Party leaving the Bareunmirae Party, and a vote on the amendment to the Criminal Procedure Act related to the adjustment of investigative authority between the prosecution and police will proceed. The Criminal Procedure Act can be voted on immediately as the Liberty Korea Party's filibuster has already ended.

Next, the decision on the temporary session of the National Assembly, set to last until the 14th, will be processed, and the remaining bill related to the adjustment of investigative authority, the Prosecutors' Office Act, will be presented. The Democratic Party plans to handle the Prosecutors' Office Act and the Kindergarten Three Laws (Early Childhood Education Act, Private School Act, School Meals Act) if the Liberty Korea Party does not initiate a filibuster.
