On July 2, Chu Kyung-ho, the floor leader of the People Power Party (PPP), strongly opposed the Democratic Party's push to pass the Special Prosecutor Bill for Marine Corporal Chae Sang-byeong in the plenary session, announcing a filibuster in response.
Filibuster Announcement
After the National Assembly's policy meeting, Chu stated to reporters, "If the bill is forced onto the agenda in the plenary session, we will respond with unlimited debate (filibuster)." A filibuster is a parliamentary procedure where lawmakers give prolonged speeches to delay or prevent a vote.
Remarks at the Policy Meeting
Chu emphasized, "There is no agenda setting during the time for government inquiries, which is a tradition observed in the 20th and 21st National Assembly." He criticized the Democratic Party and the Speaker of the National Assembly for attempting to force the agenda without bipartisan agreement, vowing strong opposition.
Government Inquiries and Agenda Setting
From July 2 to July 4, the National Assembly will conduct its first government inquiries of the 22nd session, focusing on political, diplomatic, unification, and security issues. The Democratic Party is considering immediately bringing the Special Prosecutor Bill for Corporal Chae Sang-byeong to the plenary session for a vote after the inquiries.
Filibuster Procedures
A filibuster can be ended with a motion signed by at least one-third of the members and approval by three-fifths of the members 24 hours after the motion is submitted. Although the opposition party alone can end the filibuster, if filibusters are applied to each bill, passing multiple bills by July 4 would be impossible.
