Min Hyung-bae, a member of the Legislative and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly, left the party by surprise yesterday (20th) afternoon.
It is said that her reason for leaving the party was due to the formation of the Judiciary Committee's Agenda Coordination Committee, which is a key step in the processing of the Inspection and Closing Bill.
The Agenda Mediation Committee deliberates and decides on issues with large differences of opinion for up to 90 days and puts them to the plenary session of the Judiciary Committee. Three Democrats, two People's Power, and one independent are allotted.
Here, if only two-thirds or four people agree, the bill can be processed right away without waiting 90 days.
However, when an independent lawmaker Yang Hyang-ja from the Democratic Party, who was put into the Judiciary Committee on the 7th, suddenly expressed his opposition to the bill, the Democratic Party hurriedly pulled out a card stating that the party would be replaced by an independent member.
Rep. Min said on SNS, "I had the courage to add even a small force to the normalization of the prosecution through the separation of investigation and prosecution."
However, lawmaker Yang said, "I can't help but be astonished at the idea of leaving a member of the Liberal Party and becoming a member of the agenda coordinating committee because it is a majority party."
The power of the people strongly opposed it, saying it was an 'unacceptable trick,' and the Justice Party also added to the criticism, calling it 'democratic terror at the Grand National Assembly.'
