Lawmakers of the main opposition Democratic Party tries to block a vice speaker of the National Assembly from passing controversial bills as security guards and the ruling Grand National Party's lawmakers block him at the National Assembly main chamber in Seoul July 22, 2009. The National Assembly on Wednesday approved a set of disputed bills centred on allowing newspapers and conglomerates to own stakes in broadcasting stations, amid a boycott by opposition lawmakers who accuse the government of attempting to rein in domestic media organizations, Yonhap reported.
