[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The leadership of the People Power Party has completely canceled the official schedule that was set to take place in the Chungcheong region on the 20th.

Emergency Response Committee Chairman Jeong Jin-seok and the leadership canceled all scheduled events in the Chungnam area and will hold an emergency committee meeting at the National Assembly.

Originally, the emergency committee planned to hold an on-site meeting in Cheonan, Chungnam in the morning, have a discussion with startup entrepreneurs, and in the afternoon, Chairman Jeong was scheduled to hold a town hall meeting in the Chungcheong region, a party member meeting in Sejong City, and visit the autonomous driving big data control center.

However, the schedule appears to have been changed due to the prosecution's attempt to search the Democratic Party's Yeouido central party office the day before.

Since Democratic Party lawmakers are likely to boycott the National Assembly inspection in protest of the prosecution's search, the emergency committee meeting is expected to discuss denouncing the opposition party and preparing countermeasures.
