The National Assembly Steering Committee passed a resolution to expel Rep. Lee Jin-sook of People Power Party, citing her remarks that were deemed to denigrate the May 18 Democratization Movement. Rep. Lee held a forum with right-wing groups at the National Assembly, sparking controversy over the reinterpretation of the May 18 event. The Democratic Party strongly criticized Rep. Lee's remarks for distorting the May 18 Democratization Movement. People Power Party did not agree with the resolution and boycotted the Steering Committee meeting. The conflict between the two parties is intensifying the tension within the National Assembly Steering Committee.
