, ‘Regarding the request from the National Assembly Speaker and the Democratic Party to pass a pension reform bill within the 21st National Assembly term, the presidential office expressed opposition, stating that “it is more appropriate to discuss this in the 22nd National Assembly.”‘,
,
, ‘On the 26th, a senior official from the presidential office met with reporters at the Presidential Office in Yongsan and stated, “With only 3 days left in the current 21st National Assembly term, there is simply not enough time for major compromises to take place,” emphasizing the lack of time for such compromises.’,
,
, ‘Furthermore, stating that “Pension reform is considered an urgent task that requires both quantitative and structural reforms,” the official mentioned, “Since there is some level of consensus between the ruling and opposition parties, it is more appropriate to thoroughly discuss and push forward the pension reform bill in the 22nd National Assembly.”‘,
,
, ‘The official also stressed, “As it has a significant impact on the youth and future generations, the negotiation process and procedures that reflect the will of the people are also crucial.”‘,
,
, ‘Previously, the leader of the Democratic Party, Lee Jae-myung, proposed a pension reform discussion summit with President Yoon Suk Yeol, saying “Pension reform should be handled in the 21st National Assembly,” but the presidential office responded that “party consensus comes first,” rejecting the proposal.’,
,
, ‘Earlier that morning, National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin-pyo also emphasized during a press conference at the Speaker’s office, “Pension reform must be addressed in the 21st National Assembly.” Speaker Kim stated, “If the 21st National Assembly does not conclude pension reform, there is a high possibility that the timing for reform will be delayed by over 4 years.”‘,
