韩国执政共同民主党与在野国民力量党周四同意周五为李在明总统提名的企划预算部新部长李惠勋举行确认听证会，此前因文件不全和对其指控而延期数周。
协议是在最初定于周一的听证会因国民力量党（PPP）反对李惠勋在策略与财政委员会全体会议上提交的不完整文件而被推迟后达成的。委员会主席林李子议员（PPP）暂停会议，此举引发进一步谈判，最终促成周四的协议——条件是李惠勋提供所需材料。 李惠勋于2025年12月28日被李在明总统提名为企划预算部（2026年1月在总理办公室下设立）首任部长，这位前三届保守派议员面临两党批评。在野党要求她退出，因其丈夫的房地产交易以及她在国会任期内虐待下属和实习生的指控。 此举化解了数周党派争执，推动审查进程，在首尔政治紧张中推进。该听证会不具约束力，总统可自行任命她。
