[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] The agreement between the ruling and opposition party floor leaders regarding the supplementary budget bill was postponed again on the 28th, following the 27th. The ruling and opposition parties tentatively decided to hold the plenary session originally scheduled for that day on the 29th.

According to the National Assembly Secretariat on that day, the plenary session to process the second supplementary budget bill was canceled. Instead, the ruling and opposition parties agreed to convene the plenary session at 7:30 PM tomorrow.

Earlier, after a meeting with National Assembly Speaker Park Byeong-seok the previous day, the floor leaders of both parties had agreed to hold a plenary session at 8 PM on that day to process the supplementary budget bill.

However, despite continued behind-the-scenes negotiations, differences were not resolved, and conflicts between the ruling and opposition parties persisted, leading to the plenary session being postponed by one more day for further consultation.

On that day, Floor Leader Park Hong-geun expressed discomfort on Facebook toward President Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, "I really don't understand why you insisted on waiting until that time and unnecessarily took credit, breaking the negotiation atmosphere."
