The People's Power announced that it would push for an amendment to the National Assembly Act, which limits the privilege of non-arrest of members of the National Assembly.
Seong-dong Kwon, floor leader, said on his SNS, "The system needs to be supplemented so that the privilege of non-arrest of a member of the National Assembly is not misused as a 'criminal privilege' that deviates from the purpose stipulated in the constitution."
In this article, floor leader Kwon pointed out that under the current National Assembly Act, "If a vote is not voted within 72 hours, it is brought to the first plenary session to be held thereafter and voted on. I did.
Accordingly, the amendment bill is to be voted on 'within 24 hours after 48 hours' from the time it is reported to the plenary session, and 'if it is not voted on, the arrest motion is considered passed'. Make it the gist.
He also agreed to convert the ballot on the arrest motion, now a secret ballot, to a write-in ballot.
Representative Kwon said, "Recently, many critics have pointed out that Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung's run for Incheon Gyeyang is running for the privilege of non-arrest of a member of the National Assembly.
"The Democratic Party and former candidate Lee Jae-myung pledged to abolish the privilege of non-arresting members of the National Assembly in the last presidential election," he said.
