여야 4당, 열린 자세로 한국당과 패스트트랙 법안 협의... 5당 회동 제안
The ruling Democratic Party and three minor opposition parties are trying to diffuse tensions triggered by their move to fast-track legislation.
The four parties on Wednesday called on the main opposition Liberty Korea Party,... which was strongly against the fast-track,... to join negotiations on the bills in question.
After days of standoff and physical scuffles,... key reform bills were put on fast-track,... including a revision to the election law and another to create an anti-corruption probe unit.
The four parties said they are willing to hold talks with the Liberty Korea Party as early as today,.. urging them to end their boycott of parliament,... and get to work on the pile of pending bills.
But the conservative party has stepped up its offense, both inside and outside of the National Assembly,... claiming the fast-track goes against parliamentary democracy and that the election law has always been revised through bipartisan agreement.
