The article discusses a recent development in South Korean politics, focusing on discussions surrounding a potential second meeting between political party leaders Lee Jae-myung from the Democratic Party and Han Dong-hoon from the People Power Party. Lee has directed his party to proceed with practical discussions for this meeting. The first such meeting occurred on September 1, and it was arranged by the chiefs of staff from both parties.
The potential second meeting arises after Lee suggested that Han meet with the opposition leader following Han’s prior meeting with President Yoon Seok-yeol. The agenda for the second meeting might include the “Kim Geon-hee Special Investigation Act,” which is a contentious issue causing tension between the government and the opposition. Han Min-soo, a spokesperson for the Democratic Party, revealed that the topic was discussed in a closed meeting and emphasized the public’s desire for this investigation, suggesting a ratio of 9 to 1 in favor according to some reports.
Additionally, Democratic Party leaders expressed the need to address unresolved issues given the current state of internal government paralysis. They highlighted significant ongoing matters such as national security, the healthcare crisis, and economic challenges, alongside the Kim Geon-hee matter. The article concludes by noting that while a fixed schedule for the meeting isn’t set, it should occur in the near future without undue delay.
