The Democratic Party announced on August 10 that it plans to hold a session on August 13, as over 110 bills are pending. The party urged the People Power Party to cooperate in processing related legislation, including those concerning housing supply.
Lee Joo-hee, the party's floor spokesperson, spoke to reporters after a meeting, stating, "The People Power Party is hindering government operations by criticizing the Democratic Party and the government regarding housing supply." She emphasized the necessity of convening the session on August 13 to pass the pending bills.
Lee also expressed the party's commitment to maintaining ongoing communication with the People Power Party to facilitate the session.
In a separate briefing, Lee criticized the People Power Party, saying, "If they claim to care about people's livelihoods and housing supply but do not cooperate with the session and bill processing, their assertions will ultimately be seen as a mockery of the public." She reiterated that the Democratic Party aims to process necessary legislation in a timely manner to address the needs of the citizens.
If the session is held on August 13, it is expected to include discussions on fast-track amendments and housing supply-related bills.
