[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] Kim Tae-nyeon, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, announced that he would promptly legislate five bills related to the December 16 real estate measures.


At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly on the morning of the 12th, Floor Leader Kim said, "Recently, housing prices have been fluctuating mainly in non-regulated areas. The Democratic Party will firmly and proactively respond together with the government to stabilize housing prices," adding, "We must strongly deal with real estate speculation forces according to relevant regulations."


He continued, "We will expedite legislation to prevent housing price increases and protect actual demanders," and said, "We will swiftly re-promote the five bills related to the December 16 housing market stabilization plan." He added, "These include the Comprehensive Real Estate Tax Act, Income Tax Act, Housing Act, Local Tax Special Cases Act, and Private Rental Housing Special Cases Act," urging, "The opposition party should also cooperate in legislation, moving away from past non-cooperation."


Floor Leader Kim also announced that he would re-push for the establishment of the National Education Commission in the 21st National Assembly. He said, "The Democratic Party promised the establishment of the National Education Commission as a presidential election pledge and has been promoting the legislation of the establishment bill throughout the 20th National Assembly, but it was discarded due to the expiration of the term without even passing the standing committee threshold because of the opposition party's resistance."



He added, "We will re-promote the establishment of the National Education Commission in the 21st National Assembly," emphasizing, "Our country's education policy has changed frequently due to public opinion and interests without a long-term vision. Education policy needs to be more consistent and predictable than any other policy, so it is necessary to establish a social consensus body."
