The government has chosen to approve an opposition-led bill extending support for victims of the 2014 Sewol ferry disaster, while requesting President Yoon Suk Yeol to veto four other controversial bills. The bill related to the Sewol tragedy was among five bills unilaterally passed by the main opposition Democratic Party and other minor opposition parties, despite objections from the ruling People Power Party. The amendment to the Sewol Victim Support Act aims to prolong the period for medical expense support for disaster victims by five years. This decision comes as a surprise, as it was anticipated that the government would reject all five bills. However, the government has opted to accept the Sewol legislation while rejecting the other four, with Prime Minister Han Duck-soo planning to preside over a Cabinet meeting to approve the Sewol legislation. The four bills that the government has decided to request veto for include a revised special measure to assist victims of home rental scams, a bill proposing benefits for former pro-democracy activists, and others. The ruling People Power Party has raised concerns about these bills, citing issues such as state intervention in private transactions and potential recognition of controversial figures. As the current term of the 21st National Assembly ends, the Democratic Party has expressed its determination to pursue other contentious bills in the upcoming 22nd National Assembly, including a special counsel probe into a Marine's death.
