[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] Kim Tae-nyeon, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, announced that if the United Future Party does not submit the list of standing committee members by noon on the 26th, the plenary session will be held to elect the remaining standing committee chairs and begin the review of the 3rd supplementary budget bill.

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that morning, Floor Leader Kim urged the United Future Party, saying, "Please submit the list of standing committee members by noon today. If the United Future Party does not submit the list today, it will be considered as abandoning the rights and duties of a member of the National Assembly, and as the responsible ruling party, we will act decisively." He added, "We will definitely hold a plenary session today to normalize the National Assembly and start the supplementary budget review."

He criticized, "While the United Future Party says it will return to the National Assembly, it is refusing to submit the list of standing committee members," and added, "I suspect that the United Future Party's declaration of returning to the National Assembly was merely a disguised tactic to obstruct state affairs and deceive the public."

The Democratic Party decided to operate the COVID-19 National Crisis Overcoming Situation Room following the COVID-19 National Crisis Overcoming Committee, which ended its activities on the 24th.

Floor Leader Kim said, "Today, the Democratic Party will establish the COVID-19 National Crisis Overcoming Situation Room as a floor organization," and added, "The Situation Room will have three task forces (TFs) for job measures, legislation and budget, and will carry out legislative, budgetary, and institutional improvement activities."

He added, "Senior Deputy Floor Leader Cho Seung-rae will serve as the head of the Situation Room overseeing the entire situation, with Assemblyman Kim Seong-ju in charge of the Quarantine Medical TF, Assemblyman Song Gap-seong leading the Livelihood and Jobs TF, and Senior Deputy Floor Leader Jeon Jae-su responsible for the Legislation and Budget TF."
