The Democratic Party announced plans to adopt a report on Kim Seung-won, the nominee for Minister of Justice, during the National Assembly's Legislative and Judiciary Committee meeting scheduled for September 17, despite pushback from the People Power Party. This is expected to lead to a significant clash between the ruling and opposition parties during the session.
Jeon Eun-soo, the party's floor spokesperson, spoke to reporters after a policy coordination meeting at the National Assembly, confirming the intention to adopt the confirmation report for Kim. The Finance and Economy Committee also adopted a report for Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Lee Hyung-il, while the Defense Committee is set to adopt a report for Kang Shin-cheol, the nominee for Minister of National Defense.
In response to the Democratic Party's determination to proceed with the report on Kim, the People Power Party canceled meetings of the Land, Infrastructure and Transport Committee and the Industry, Trade, and Energy Committee, both chaired by its members. These committees were scheduled to adopt reports for Hong Ji-sun, the nominee for Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and Lee So-young, the nominee for Minister of SMEs and Startups.
Regarding the People Power Party's actions, Jeon stated, "We have not prepared a separate response plan at the party level."
