[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Kim Ki-hyun, the floor leader of the People Power Party, stated on the 30th, "I have held several meetings and tried to persuade the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, but they have not given up their stubbornness," adding, "There is no other reason. The purpose stems from a malicious intent to extend power and continue enjoying dictatorial authority."

On the same day, ahead of the August extraordinary session plenary meeting, Kim attended the "National Filibuster Struggle to Abolish the Media Dictatorship Act" and said, "There is no such media dictatorship law or gag law in any free democratic country around the world."

He emphasized, "This is something that might work in North Korea or China, but how they think it can work in the Republic of Korea is simply baffling. This bill should be abolished, not amended."

He continued, "If the Democratic Party submits the bill today, the People Power Party will not only engage in unlimited debate filibusters today and tomorrow but will also pursue all subsequent procedures with legal and political struggles against the enactment and enforcement of the bill."
