Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Minister Kim Jae-soo, right, listens as Lee Jun-won, vice minister, answers a question from an opposition party lawmaker during a National Assembly audit session at the government complex in Sejong City, Monday. Opposition lawmakers did not pose any questions to the minister to protest President Park Geun-hye’s rejection of a parliamentary motion demanding his dismissal on account of his alleged ethical lapses. Saenuri Party lawmakers boycotted all the Assembly audit sessions, claiming that Assembly Speaker Chung Sye-kyun violated political neutrality by allowing opposition parties to vote on a dismissal motion despite the ruling party’s protest. / Yonhap
