Floor leader Kim said at the floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, "We can no longer watch the United Future Party's stalling that ignores the suffering of the people and tires them out."

He added, "Normalizing the National Assembly and passing the supplementary budget are tasks that can no longer be postponed," and said, "The Democratic Party has conceded as much as it could and waited as long as it could. We are not statues; how much longer must we wait?" urging the United Future Party to participate.

Regarding the United Future Party's boycott of the National Assembly, he criticized, "It is incomprehensible that they do not attend despite the emergency situations of the COVID-19 pandemic and security crises," and said, "I do not see the purpose of their politics. They are ignoring the suffering of the people for party interests."

He then emphasized, "Now, to respond to the national emergency situation, we will choose and decide as the ruling party. And we will take responsibility for that decision," adding, "We will immediately proceed with the necessary procedures to finalize the June supplementary budget (Chugyeong)."
