In addition, the Democratic Party forcibly put an end to obstructionism (unlimited discussion) on 13 on the side of People’s Power. In 173 Democratic Party legislators, the Open Democratic Party (three seats) and legislators from independent and minority parties were enlisted, and the minimum number of votes required to end the debate under the Law of the National Assembly (three-fifths of the members current) was 180.

Securing tickets until the last minute
On this day, the Democratic Party was dedicated to getting 180 votes in favor of ending the unrestricted debate until shortly before the vote.

Democratic Party Chairman Park Seong-joon met with reporters right after the convention. “We have provided a detailed guide on how to vote anonymously, with a statement from the head of the hospital, Kim Young-jin, saying, ‘We have about 181 seats now, but I hope everyone will vote.”He said.
At 8: 9 pm, President Park Byung-seok said, “It has been 24 hours since the submission of consent to end the unlimited debate on the NIS Act. When the decision quorum is reached, consent to end the unlimited discussion is voted anonymously. “It was right after the Democrats sat in groups to vote. By contrast, members of the People’s Power applauded Rep. Yoon Doo-hyun, who had been brought in to stop the obstructionism, and resisted by leaving Urr’s conference room.
It took less than 30 minutes to register and count. There was a subtle tension in the conference room. No matter how much the Democratic Party entered with 181 votes from outside the conference room, due to the nature of the bearer ballot, even if only two votes remained, obstructionism would resume on the side of the people’s power. In addition, the Justice Party (6 members) was absent in the obstructionist vote. In the voting process, the president of the hospital, Hye-young Jang, said: “The right to express opposition or minority opinions on the plenary session agenda must be fully respected.” Job. Before the vote, Park Tae-hyung, head of the National Assembly, announced that “if a character or symbol other than A or N is marked on the ballot box, it will be invalidated, and if no mark is made on the ballot, we will abstain “.
However, right after the counting of the ballots, around 8:44, President Park Byeong-seok stated, “Out of the total number of 186 votes as a result of the vote, I declare that the consent to the unlimited rescission was approved with 180 votes, 3 negative votes and 3 invalid votes “. It was the moment when the Democratic Party managed to block the rotation with one vote and once again confirmed the power of the master.
As soon as the filibuster ended, a vote was held on the amendment to the NIS law. The main point is the transfer of antiaircraft investigation rights from the NIS to other agencies such as the police, but delaying the execution period for three years. The ballot was voted right after the final obstructionist vote (186 present, 180 in favor), and at this time, all 187 members of Legislator Jae-seok were voted in favor. The Justice Party participated in the vote on the Law of the National Intelligence Service.
Immediately after the news of the passage of the law, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun wrote on Facebook that “I will leave the reins of the reform so that the follow-up work of the energy agency reform can be fully implemented.” . The NIS said: “I feel a great sense of responsibility for the people’s command to be reborn as a specialized information agency in North Korea and abroad.” The police responded, “I feel a great sense of duty and responsibility as the agency responsible for the national security investigation” (Chief Kim Chang-ryong).
The vote to end the obstructionism is expected to reappear on the night of the 14th. When the next bill, the Inter-Korean Relations Development Law, was enacted, Representative Tae Young-ho, the People’s Force, began an unlimited discussion, and the Democratic Party immediately submitted an agreement to conclude the Relations Development Law. Inter-Koreans in the Medical Section of the National Assembly. Like the National Intelligence Service Law, votes can be voted on after 24 hours have passed. The main content of the Inter-Korean Relations Development Act is the prohibition of war against North Korea.
The leader of the Democratic Party, Kim Tae-yeon, who left the main conference room that day, responded to questions from reporters: “There should be a vote tomorrow. There are many entrances. “On the other hand, Ho-young Joo, the leader of the People’s Power, said,” The ruling party has done a very violent job of blocking the mouths of the opposition party with the power of Ui-suk. ”
