It looks like the National Assembly will be busy this week. What are the sunset bills?
[기자]
Yes, on the 22nd, the ruling and opposition parties decided to hold a plenary meeting on the 28th to process sunset bills, such as financial support for national health insurance, a safe freight rate system for trucks, and allowing additional overtime work.
But an agreement has not been reached.
First of all, the ruling party is in a position to provide health insurance financial support for another five years, but the opposition party is fighting that the law should be revised so that it continues to be supported without sunset.
In addition, a tense tug-of-war continues over the extension of the sunset of the safe fare system, which was the beginning of the cargo union strike, as well as over additional working hours.
In addition, there is a high possibility that the opposition fronts such as the Yellow Envelope Act, the Government Organization Act, and the Grain Management Act will expand further.
A full-fledged discussion on the controversial bills will begin tomorrow at the standing committee, but it seems that it will be difficult to narrow the disagreement easily.

There is not much time left before the summons date for CEO Lee Jae-myung, but has the position been settled yet?

It is difficult to attend the prosecution on the 28th, when the prosecution unilaterally notified the summons.
Representative Lee Jae-myung also announced the schedule for Gwangju on the 28th through social media yesterday, saying it was difficult to respond to the summons.
However, there are also claims within the party that he must confidently respond to the investigation and directly resolve the suspicion and return.
