Jang Je-won "Immediate Formation of Space Aviation Agency Agenda Coordination Committee... Responsibility Lies with the Democratic Party"

Amid a two-month deadlock between the ruling and opposition parties over the establishment of the Space Aviation Agency, Jang Je-won, the Science, ICT, Broadcasting and Communications Committee chairman from the People Power Party, announced that "Democratic Party lawmakers have requested the formation of a coordination committee on the bill to establish the Space Aviation Agency," and said he would immediately begin its formation.

On the 26th, Chairman Jang stated on his social media (SNS), "Whether it is a plenary session, a subcommittee, a public hearing, or a coordination committee, we are not in a position to waste time on petty pride or power struggles between parties."

He added, "At least now, we have started the review of the bill to establish the Space Aviation Agency in some form," and emphasized, "It will soon become clear whether the Democratic Party requested the coordination committee as a means to stall for 90 days and obstruct state affairs, out of petty pride to seize control of the Science, ICT, Broadcasting and Communications Committee, or sincerely to conduct an in-depth review of the related bill."

He continued, "Now, all responsibility for the establishment of the Space Aviation Agency has shifted to the Democratic Party," and said, "I hope the Democratic Party, which has the practical power to pass the bill, will take responsibility and ensure its passage."
