[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Hyun-ji] On the 27th, Joo Ho-young, the floor leader of the People Power Party, expressed concern that "this year, it may not be easy for the budget to pass by the legal deadline of December 2, and it might extend until the end of the year."

On the same day, Joo made this remark regarding next year's budget bill at a party meeting held at the National Assembly. He also urged, "From now on, please prepare thoroughly with the determination that this is a legislative war and a budget war."

For the passage of next year's budget bill in the National Assembly, cooperation from the Democratic Party of Korea is crucial. However, the Democratic Party is strongly opposing due to controversies such as the use of profanity during President Yoon Seok-yeol's overseas trip, remarks about pro-North Korean factions, and the prosecution's investigation. They also completely boycotted President Yoon's policy speech at the National Assembly on the 25th.

Joo emphasized, "Since we lack numbers, please study and prepare extensively and thoroughly so that we are not overwhelmed by logic and facts."
