The Democratic Party announced on July 6 that it will elevate the task force (TF) supporting the government's three major projects to a special committee directly under the acting party leader to align with the government's execution pace.
Han Byeong-do, the acting representative and floor leader, stated during a Supreme Council meeting at the National Assembly, "We will establish a comprehensive support system that oversees legislation, budget, and regulatory innovation."
He added that President Lee Jae-myung is scheduled to hold a joint public-private inspection meeting on the semiconductor sector to review the progress of the three major projects.
Han emphasized, "The three major projects are national initiatives of monumental importance, and it is essential for the government and businesses to unite as one team to ensure their success." He also noted that countries around the world are fully mobilizing their resources in the competition for semiconductors and artificial intelligence.
Additionally, Han criticized the People Power Party for exploiting regional sentiments as a tool for political conflict, questioning, "Which citizen would accept the idea of pushing corporate investment decisions and national growth strategies into a national investigation and special prosecution?"
Meanwhile, after the Supreme Council meeting, spokesperson Kang Jun-hyeon told reporters that since Han has announced the formation of a special committee, follow-up actions will be prepared by the policy committee.
However, details regarding the composition of the special committee and the manual for utilizing additional tax revenues for future response funds, as mentioned by Chief of Staff Kang Hoon-sik the previous day, have not yet been released.
