It seems that Kwon Eun-hee, a lawmaker from the People’s Party, has emerged as a casting voter in the handling of the ‘examination inspection (completely stripped of the prosecution’s investigative authority)’ enforced by the Democratic Party of Korea. This is because the Democratic Party cannot stop the filibuster of the people’s power with just the number of seats in the party.
In order to end the filibuster, according to the National Assembly Act, more than three-fifths of the total number of lawmakers must approve. The Democratic Party, which currently has 172 seats, cannot fill the quorum (180) with only members of the party. If the Justice Party (6 members), who is opposed to censorship, approves of the filibuster, it will be difficult to end the compulsory termination.
The pro-female minority parties, Transition and Basic Income, each have one seat, and six independent lawmakers from the Democratic Party.
Yang Hyang-ja, an independent lawmaker from the Democratic Party, is known to be opposed to the review, and the number of independent votes expected to support the review has been reduced to four. Even this includes cases where National Assembly Speaker Park Byung-seok, who is a former Democratic Party member, exercises his voting rights.
However, as Justice Party lawmaker Kang Eun-mi expressed her opinion in favor of the inspection the previous day, the Democratic Party’s vote is expected to narrowly fill 179 seats.
If Rep. Kwon Eun-hee, who opposes unity with the People’s Power and demanded his expulsion, casts a vote in favor of the ban, the Democratic Party will be able to forcibly terminate the filibuster with 180 seats.
As Rep. Kwon, the floor leader of the People’s Party, in fact expressed his support for the closure of the scrutiny at the four-party meeting, it is observed that the filibuster strategy predicted by the people’s power could be neutralized.
In a remark on the previous day, Rep. Kwon said, “The pivot of prosecution reform is the separation of investigation and prosecution, and it has been pursued in the past in that direction, but it has become an inexperienced direction that simply leaves the six major crimes behind.” made a statement that gave strength to
In response, the People’s Power made a comment on the 20th and said, “If the filibuster is disabled because of Rep. Kwon and the oversight bill is passed, then Rep. Kwon will not be able to avoid the judgment of history.” You can quit the show right away,” Unun-ha said, pressing Rep. Kwon.
The People’s Party held a general assembly the day before, but postponed Kwon’s expulsion process. It is reported that Rep. Lee Tae-gyu is strongly resisting Kwon’s expulsion.
If the People’s Party does not process the expulsion proposal until it completes the administrative due process with the People’s Power, the united People’s Power will decide whether or not to expel Rep. Kwon.
Rep. Kwon, who is a proportional representative, will lose his seat if he leaves the party because he cannot be expelled from the party.
