This is what the Speaker of the National Assembly, Park Byeong-seok, said at the opening ceremony of the Ordinary National Assembly in September, held at the National Assembly on the 1st. President Park addressed the members of the Council of State, including Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun and the minister, who attended the opening ceremony on the day, saying: “Please introduce the key bills promoted by the government in advance so that the National Assembly has enough time to review them “. I can commit. “In particular, President Park said,” I urge the opposition party to explain as well as the ruling party. ”

At the same time, President Park said, “The legislature must constantly reflect to maintain a healthy tension of controls and cooperation with the administration,” and “the 21st National Assembly will certainly improve its relationship with the wrong government in that regard.”

President Park’s comments were interpreted to mean that the legislature and administration might be in close touch with the 176-seat number, but the government would not unconditionally comply with the government’s demands for efficiency alone. It is also interpreted that he is not alien to the aftermath of unilaterally promoting several bills without consulting the opposition party with the start of the XXI National Assembly. At the time, the Democratic Party ran the third lease bill from late July to early August, but the approval rating dropped. Consequently, the ruling party also presented an epilogue. The Public Administration and Safety Committee said that when the retroactive scope of the local tax law amendment was unclear, ruling party lawmakers said: “No matter how much the government calls it, there are too many holes.”

This is not the first time that President Park has ordered prior consultations with the government. President Park introduced the dialogue with Prime Minister Chung while having a luncheon with members of the fifth or higher rank held at the National Assembly on the 3rd of last month. President Park said, “I gave three requests directly to Prime Minister Chung” and said, “Please explain the important bills and policies to the opposition party in advance, please submit the bill to the National Assembly with anticipation and ask the ministers to respond faithfully to the questions of the National Assembly. I gave it to you. ” This was interpreted to be due to the fact that some members of the Council of State, including the Minister of Justice, Chu Mi-ae, showed a somewhat unfaithful attitude to the inquiries of opposition lawmakers.

At the plenary meeting of the Legislative and Judicial Committee of the National Assembly on July 27, Minister Chu raised the opposition of the opposition saying, “You are writing a novel,” when Unification Party legislator Yun Han-hong, pressured the vice minister of justice on suspicion of his son.
