Democratic Party Gwangju Branch Condemns People Power Party's Filibuster on 5·18 Special Act Amendment
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Democratic Party of Korea's Gwangju Metropolitan City Party strongly condemned the People Power Party's filibuster (unlimited debate as a legal means to delay proceedings) against the amendment to the May 18 Democratic Movement Special Act.
On the 9th, the Democratic Party's Gwangju City Party stated in a press release, "The People Power Party promised to cooperate in passing the May 18 Act in Gwangju but opposed this amendment and used it as a tool for political conflict, deceiving the citizens of Gwangju once again."
They continued, "After the crushing defeat in the 21st general election, the People Power Party promised to accompany Honam and held a launching ceremony for Honam-accompanying lawmakers. However, it has become clear that this was nothing but wordplay and a political show."
