South Korea’s main opposition party vowed to press on with a boycott that’s frozen parliament after President Park Geun Hye refused to apologize over claims that the national spy agency meddled in elections last year.
Park met today with Democratic Party leader Kim Han Gil to try to resolve the deadlock. Kim later said at a party meeting that his lawmakers wouldn’t lift their boycott of the current session, which began Sept. 2.
Park’s meeting with Kim and members of her ruling party marked a personal intervention to try to break the stalemate and bring the focus back on her domestic policy agenda. Her government is trying to raise the welfare budget and maintain spending for public infrastructure projects.
