국회 정개특위 가동…여야 "선거제도 개혁 최선" 한목소리
The National Assembly's special committee on political reform has officially started work.
Their first meeting was held today.
Committee chair Sim Sang-jeung..., a lawmaker from the minor progressive Justice Party,... pledged to create a parliament that better reflects what the people want, stressing her will to change the current electoral system.
Rival lawmakers on the committee also agreed on the need for reform,... but negotiations down the road aren't expected to be smooth sailing as parties are divided on the specifics.
Today's meeting came three months after the committee's establishment was approved in July,... due to partisan wrangling over the proportion of each party's representation.
