Without the government's approval, the South Korean National Assembly passed the budget reduction bill for next year. On the 10th, the South Korean National Assembly held a plenary meeting and adopted a cut version of the 2025 budget with a total amount of 673.3 trillion won (about 3.41 trillion yuan). According to Yonhap News Agency, this is the first time that the South Korean National Assembly passed the budget without agreement between the ruling party and the opposition party. In the 300-seat parliament, 278 members voted on the budget, 183 were in favor, 94 were against and 1 abstained. The ruling National Power Party and some opposition party members voted against it. This budget is one of the focal points of the recent struggle between the ruling and opposition parties in South Korea and one of the factors inducing the current political chaos. The original budget proposed by the government was 677.4 trillion won, but the largest opposition party, the Common Democratic Party, demanded a reduction of 4.1 trillion won, mainly involving the government reserve fund, the special activity expenses of the presidential secretary's office and the national security office, the special work expenses and special activity expenses of the procuratorate and the supervision institute.
