여야 4당, 열린 자세로 한국당과 패스트트랙 법안 협의... 5당 회동 제안
The ruling Democratic Party and three minor opposition blocs are trying to diffuse tensions triggered by their move to fast-track legislation.
They called on the main opposition Liberty Korea Party,... which was strongly against the move,... 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 expressed willingness to hold talks with the LKP 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 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.
