South Korea’s main opposition People Power Party (PPP) alleges that Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Gi-heon verbally abused PPP lawmaker Kim Eun-hye during a parliamentary investigation into recent voting paper shortages. The PPP claims the incident occurred during a National Assembly special committee meeting focused on the issue. They are demanding Lee’s resignation from the committee, citing the alleged abusive language as unacceptable conduct. The voting paper shortage, which occurred during recent elections, has become a significant political issue. The PPP is pushing for a thorough investigation into the causes of the shortage and accountability for those responsible. The Democratic Party has not yet officially responded to the allegations. This incident further escalates tensions between the two parties as the inquiry continues.
