The 19th NA closed with the end of its last session on May 19, the radio said.

That day the session started more than 30 minutes behind schedule due to the absence of over 50 lawmakers, and at least 130 bills which had not passed during the period were cleared en masse, it charged.

The bill on revising the special law on ferry Sewol and many other bills have not passed, it said, adding the ruling and opposition parties resorted to reckless political strife at the NA.
