Photo: Yonhap News<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Jeong Cheong-rae, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said the party\u2019s principle for forming standing committees in the second half of the 22nd National Assembly is clear: \u201cAs the party that works, the Democratic Party will assume 100% of the committee chairmanships and take responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At a party meeting at the National Assembly on the 22nd, Jeong said, \u201cThe crisis in the Middle East has put pressure on people\u2019s livelihoods, and instead of cooperating, they are stalling government work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He criticized the People Power Party, saying, \u201cThey\u2019ve had so many internal conflicts that some call them the \u2018Intra-conflict Party,\u2019 but I see them as a party that condones insurrection \u2014 a pro-insurrection party.\u201d He added, \u201cI\u2019m outraged by their position on insurrection, and they resort to filibusters at the drop of a hat to paralyze government business.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeong continued, \u201cWe have a backlog of bills to help the public, but committees chaired by the other side (the People Power Party) aren\u2019t operating.\u201d He argued, \u201cLike the U.S., which the People Power Party admires, we should adopt an American-style approach: in the U.S., the party that has even one more seat typically claims all committee chairmanships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t want to take that route,\u201d Jeong said, \u201cbut we will if necessary to respond nimbly to an increasingly complex international order. Every issue has a golden hour; if we miss it, the harm to the public can be severe.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He invoked the principle of \u201cno work, no pay,\u201d saying, \u201cThose who refuse to work should not expect to take benefits. If the People Power Party won\u2019t work, they shouldn\u2019t expect committee chairmanships.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeong said the Assembly must elect a speaker to finalize committee assignments for the
