The National Assembly has been stopped again due to Corona 19. When the confirmation of the office of the chairman of the Lee Jong-bae Policy Committee, Lee Jong-bae (formerly the Future Integration Party), was confirmed, all the ruling leaders and from the opposition who had contacted the chairman of the Policy Committee suddenly returned home. As a result, the work of the National Assembly came to a complete halt, as the National Assembly Standing Committee’s schedule and high-ranking party government hearings to discuss the goal of the second disaster support payment were delayed one after other.
The National Assembly’s Corona 19 Disaster Countermeasures Headquarters announced on the 3rd that “the National Assembly employee working on the second floor of the main National Assembly building has been confirmed with coronavirus” and “subsequently, all meetings and meetings in the main building of the National Assembly are prohibited. ” After working in the National Assembly until the morning of the previous day 2, Lee visited a screening clinic in the afternoon and was examined. Immediately after being notified of the confirmation, the National Assembly closed all confirmed traffic routes, such as the first and second floors of the main building and the first floor of the communications center, and implemented the quarantine.
The Chairman of the Policy Committee, who had been in business contact with the confirmed case, entered the waiting room after receiving a corona 19 diagnostic test at a public health facility in the afternoon. Party leaders such as Kim Jong-in, chairman of the Emergency Response Committee, and Ho-young Joo, who had previously held a press conference on the 100th day of his inauguration in the morning, canceled all schedules, such as the appointment ceremony. of the policy coordination committee in the afternoon, and returned home.
The ball of fire also broke out in the ruling party. Lee Nak-yeon, leader of the Democratic Party, reentered the waiting room after three days back. This is due to contact with the Chairman of the Policy Committee at the ruling party representatives meeting on Day 1. Representative Lee previously had a lunch with President Moon Jae-in in Sangchunjae at the Blue House. President Moon congratulated Lee on his inauguration at a luncheon and said, “I reassure you,” “Please check with the President at any time. I don’t mind the weekend, so give me a call. “
The high-level party government hearing to discuss the second disaster support fund was also postponed to the fourth. The Blue House and the Democratic Party planned to receive a report from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance on the content of the fourth additional remediation budget (additional budget) and the objective of the second disaster aid payment. Until the weekend, the government office planned to supplement this and announce a personalized disaster support plan next week, but a setback seems inevitable. The Democratic Party only held working-level discussions about the second disaster support fund, which was scheduled to be held in the National Assembly, outside of the National Assembly. Due to the closure of the National Assembly facility, the Standing Committee program was canceled, including the General Meeting of the Women and Family Committee and the Budget and Accounts Committee Arrangement Subcommittee.
The results of the first contact inspection of confirmed cases, including the Policy Committee chair, are scheduled to be released on the 4th. If the Policy Committee chair is confirmed, there is a possibility that the governing and political leaders the opposition go into self-isolation at the same time, which will result in a gap in the National Assembly for a time.
