Push for a constitutional amendment referendum, the Democratic Party will accelerate discussions on a constitutional amendment in the first half of next year Quickly check the key flow, from the reappointment controversy to differences in the positions of the ruling and opposition parties
The Democratic Party of Korea said it will push to hold a referendum for constitutional revision in the first half of next year. On the 20th, the party held a press briefing at the National Assembly for the launch of its constitutional revision promotion task force and began fullscale discussions.
The Democratic Party believes that the related controversy has been resolved, as President Lee Jaemyung denied the possibility of seeking a second consecutive term through a constitutional amendment. Rep. Kim Taenyeon said the constitutional revision process would be disclosed transparently to the public, and that the revision would be completed by the people's decision.
However, the People Power Party maintains that the president's explanation was not sufficient and that suspicions over a constitutional amendment for consecutive terms have not been resolved. Whether the constitutional revision discussions in the National Assembly will actually make progress depends on the differences in positions between the ruling and opposition parties.
