The 'Distorted Prosecution Special Counsel Act' passed the National Assembly this afternoon led by the MINJU Party. The People Power Party, which fought back with a 24-hour filibuster, held a protest rally on the steps in front of the main building and announced plans to take its struggle outside parliament starting this weekend. The KOSPI also rattled the political arena. As it plunged more than 8% during trading and broke below the 5,000 mark, People Power Party leader Jang Dong-hyeok raised the issue of accountability, saying, "This is the result of the government's excessive intervention in the stock market," while MINJU Party leader Kim Min-seok pointed to increased volatility stemming from the U.S. midterm elections. We look at the key issues from a breathless Friday in politics.
