In addition, on the afternoon of the 14th, the Democratic Party enters a vote to conclude the filibuster (obstruction of legitimate doctors through unrestricted discussions) targeting the’Act on the Prohibition of Spreading Warfare Against North Korea’ (Amendment of the Inter-Korean Relations Development Act) requested by the People’s Power. This is the second time since the final vote on the National Intelligence Service Act amendment bill the day before.
However, the Democratic Party is expected to engage in an all-out battle to crack down on departure votes on the previous day (the 13th), as it managed to fill 180 seats, the quorum for the decision, in the filibuster conclusion of the amendment to the NIS Act.
Democratic party leaders such as Kim Tae-nyeon, the leader of the Democratic Party, have been cracking down on votes since they submitted a motion to end the filibuster subject to the Anti-North Korean Warfare Disposal Act the day before.
This is because if the result of the vote for compulsory termination of the National Intelligence Service Act is the result of the vote, even a single vote is rejected and the filibuster cannot be terminated.
Initially, the Democratic Party believed that it had secured 173 votes from the Democratic Party prior to the final vote of the National Intelligence Service Act (Pilibuster), four nonpartisan votes including Kim Hong-geol, Lee Sang-jik, Yang Jeong-suk, and Lee Yong-ho, three votes from the Open Democratic Party, and one vote per basic income. .
In addition, it is expected that the 182 votes will pass by lawmaker Jo Jung-hoon, who was in a reserved position, turning his position in favor of the end of the filibuster.
However, among the 186 votes in the total number of votes, 180 votes in favor and three votes disapprove and invalid in the final vote of the National Intelligence Service Act’s filibuster. This means that at least two of the 182 votes the Democratic Party was confident in securing came out.
Soonji, the Democratic Party’s in-house leadership encouraged lawmakers to actively participate in voting.
Democratic Party leader Kim Tae-nyeon sent a text message to the lawmakers of the party the night before (13th), saying, “I look forward to joining you in handling the remaining inter-Korean relations development law.” “Filibuster scheduled at 8:52 pm on the 14th (unlimited discussion) He encouraged lawmakers to participate in the vote, saying, “Please participate in the closing ballot without fail.”
The Democratic Party is scheduled to hold a general meeting of parliamentarians at 8 pm on this day to crack down on votes by encouraging voting again.
It is unlikely that the Justice Party, who was unable to vote the day before to respect minority opinions, is unlikely to change its position, so it is necessary to “absolutely defend” the votes of the party as well as 4 non-participant lawmakers, Basic Income Party lawmaker Yong Hye-in, and Cho Jung-hun of the era change.
In particular, the in-house leadership seems to be working hard to minimize the number of invalid votes, as three invalid votes were issued the previous day.
The Democratic Party’s in-house leadership also guided in detail how to vote anonymously so that the votes in favor were not invalidated at the non-face-to-face assembly before the vote the day before.
According to the National Assembly, it is necessary to accurately write ‘a·bu’ (可·否) in Korean or Chinese characters on the ballot. If you mark it with letter symbols such as circle (○) or X (X), it will be invalidated.
