[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] As the Democratic Party of Korea seeks the opposition's cooperation to pass the Serious Accidents Punishment Act, Kim Woong, a member of the People Power Party, pointedly remarked, "Since when did consulting with the opposition mean blaming them?"

On the 24th, Kim said on Facebook, "The People Power Party's emergency committee chairman and members of the Environment and Labor Committee supported the enactment of the Serious Accidents Punishment Act."

He criticized, "Did anyone listen to the opposition when passing the fake Corruption Investigation Office Act or the Kim Yo-jong directive law?" and asked, "Since when does consulting with the opposition mean blaming them?" The fake Corruption Investigation Office Act refers to the amendment bill of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO) Act, and the Kim Yo-jong directive law appears to refer to the Partial Amendment to the Act on the Development of Inter-Korean Relations (ban on leaflet distribution to North Korea).

Meanwhile, on the same day, the Democratic Party held a Judiciary Committee review subcommittee meeting and proceeded with deliberations on the Serious Accidents Punishment Act despite the opposition's absence.
