South Korea will hold another vote on the Itaewon Act after the general election...Even if the ruling and opposition parties reach a tentative agreement, negotiations will be difficult

The ruling and opposition parties will implement the ``October 29 Itaewon Disaster Special Act'' (Itaewon Act) on April 10th, for which South Korean President Yoon Seo-gyeol (Yun Seok-yeoul) exercised the right to request re-voting (veto). election
They tentatively agreed to hold another vote later. At a press conference at the National Assembly on the 3rd, Yoon Jae-ok, floor representative of the ruling party People's Power, said, ``House floor representatives of both parties have decided that a re-vote will be held after the general election.''
We have reached a tentative agreement." Yun, House Representative Yoon, said, ``On the 19th of last month, we had planned to vote again on the twin special prosecutors law, and on the 29th, we had planned to vote again on the Itaewon law.However, the Democratic Party suddenly decided to vote on the twin special prosecutors law on the 29th.
Not only did they postpone the re-vote until the 29th, they also announced that the electoral districts would be finalized on the 29th. In the midst of all this, the topic (of the Itaewon Act) also came up.''
This comes as the ruling and opposition parties discussed the agenda of the extraordinary National Assembly held in February, and the schedule for processing the Itaewon Act was also discussed.
It seems that. The twin special prosecutors law (Kim Kun-hee and Daejo-dong 5 billion club special prosecutors law), which President Yoon had previously vetoed, was rejected at the plenary session on the 29th of last month and was ultimately scrapped.
It was. The Itaewon Act remains off the agenda of the plenary session, and the timing for another vote has not been determined. The schedule for the plenary session has not been decided until the general election, and if there is no re-vote, it will be held at the end of May.
It will be abolished at the same time as the term of the 21st National Diet ends. According to South Korean media Yonhap News, both the main opposition parties, the Democratic Party, have agreed in principle to hold a second vote after the general election.
It shows. Park Ju-min, deputy floor leader of the party, said, ``The timing is likely to be after the general election.'' However, the ruling and opposition parties will either abolish it through a second vote or agree on an amendment.
is opaque. Even if an agreement is reached on the revised bill, negotiations are likely to be difficult as the ruling party claims that the contents of the existing bill, such as the composition of the special investigation committee, are ``toxic clauses''.
House Minority Leader Yoon said, ``I think it would be best for both parties to discuss and agree on an amended bill after the election, to the extent that the provisions in question are slightly relaxed and include measures to prevent recurrence of disasters and support for bereaved families and victims.''
desirable. In my judgment, there is 80 to 90 percent agreement,'' Park said, but ``the ruling party has not yet made any concessions on the content.''
