[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Hong Joon-pyo, former leader of the Liberty Korea Party, criticized the People Power Party's filibuster (legitimate obstruction of parliamentary proceedings through unlimited debate) on the 11th, saying, "In our country, which adopts the principle of continuous sessions, it is merely a policy to delay the passage of bills with no practical effect."
On the same day, former leader Hong said on Facebook, "Filibusters are used in Anglo-American legislatures that adopt the principle of non-continuous sessions, aiming to block the passage of bills."
