[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Members of the People Power Party belonging to the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee's Bill Review Subcommittee 1 criticized on the 24th that the Democratic Party and the Justice Party are showing an outrageous attitude by blaming the People Power Party for the delay in processing the Serious Accidents Punishment Act (Serious Accidents Act).

They issued a statement in the afternoon saying, "If the Democratic Party and the Justice Party have any conscience, we hope they will be honest," and added, "Since the Moon Jae-in administration came to power, have there been any cases where the bills they wanted were not passed due to opposition from the People Power Party?"

They pointed out, "To the extent that even the late Kim Yong-gyun's mother complained to Kim Tae-nyeon, the floor leader of the Democratic Party, saying, 'Until now, hasn't the ruling party passed all the bills the Democratic Party wanted? Why does this bill necessarily require the opposition party?'" and added, "Yet now they are shifting the responsibility."

They stated, "The Democratic Party is only wasting time by proposing and discussing various different bills that do not even fit the system, as per the opinion of the Legislative Office," and added, "If the Democratic Party publicly presents a proper unified bill, we will gladly participate in the bill review. The Justice Party should prioritize urging the government and the Democratic Party to clarify whether they have the will and sincerity to enact the bill, rather than pressuring the main opposition party to participate in the bill review."
