National Assembly wraps up three days of gov't questioning sessions

Описание: 국회, 교육•사회•문화분야 대정부 질문… 여야 사흘째 공방

We start at the National Assembly where members of the Lee Jae Myung administration in charge of social affairs are taking questions in the final day of the three-day interpellation.
For details I have my colleague Ahn Sung-jin live on the line.
Sung-jin it's good to have you back.
So what has been happening there today?

Sunny, today will wrap up the last day of the government questioning sessions that took place over the past three days, including today.

On Monday, we saw a focus on politics, diplomacy, unification and national security.
This was followed by a session on the economy on Tuesday, and today it will center on culture, society and education.
The session is well underway at the moment with Prime Minister Kim Min-seok and government officials, including the education minister, justice minister and, culture minister present.

The ruling Democratic Party is using the last round of government questioning to underscore the need for regional administration integration, which is currently being pushed under the Lee Jae Myung administration.
The Prime Minister stated that unless the relevant legislation passes the National Assembly by the end of February, the merger of metropolitan governments would be "virtually impossible" to be completed before the June third local elections and asked for the cooperation of the opposition party.
Meanwhile, the main opposition People Power Party is pressing the government over rising house prices and a weak Korean won.
Lawmakers from the PPP also questioned the current administration's real estate policy, asking whether reconstruction or redevelopment have become "taboo words" as it criticizes the current housing supply measures.

Following the end of government questioning sessions, a plenary session is scheduled for Thursday to handle livelihood-related bills, with a fierce debate expected if judicial reform bills appear on the agenda.
But that's all I have for now on the latest updates from the National Assembly.

All right Sung-jin thank you for the latest at the parliament and do keep us posted.
