[Photo] Plenary Session Canceled... 'All Stop' at the National Assembly View original image

The plenary session of the National Assembly scheduled for the 25th, which the ruling and opposition parties had tentatively agreed upon, was effectively canceled. This followed the approval of the arrest consent bill for Lee Jae-myung, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, and the subsequent resignation of the Democratic Party's floor leadership amid factional conflicts. The confirmation vote for Lee Gyun-yong, nominee for Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, was postponed, resulting in a situation where the judiciary lacks a head.
