Opposition to get back to parliament

A new center-left party comprised of liberal forces said Tuesday that it has decided to get back to work ending the boycott of parliament.

The National Assembly has been stalled since late November as the main opposition Democratic Party (DP) and other liberal forces have stayed away from parliament in protest of the ruling Grand National Party (GNP)'s railroading of a free trade agreement with the United States.

Ruling party lawmakers have repeatedly urged DP legislators to come back to the parliament to deal with a 327 trillion won (US$273

billion) budget bill for next year, while opposition lawmakers demand an apology for the unilateral approval of the trade deal.
