국회, 특검•추경 동시처리 불투명
Over at the National Assembly.
All eyes are on whether members will be voting on a bill that calls for a special probe... into an online opinion rigging scandal and the extra budget.
Less than three hours remain before a scheduled plenary session at 9 PM local time -- but rival parties remain in deadlock.
On the special probe,... lawmakers are at odds over the duration and scope of the investigation.
As for the government's proposal for additional funds,... the ruling party wants it passed as soon as possible... to boost the ailing job market,... but the main opposition is calling for a cut, arguing that some areas have no relevance to job creation.
It's unclear whether rival sides will be able to narrow their differences in time for a full floor vote.
But there is speculation that a last-minute deal could be reached.
