Arguments and counter-arguments around Parliament debates, or sometimes scenes of walk-outs are seen in heated situations. Sometimes there were even clashes between members of the government and opposition parties. But the scene of running away from the Parliament with the bill document is unprecedented. And this unprecedented incident happened in Taiwan's parliament.
The opposition brought a proposal to criminalize officials responsible for making false statements in parliament and give parliament greater powers over the government. Legislators from the ruling party and the opposition clashed in parliament on Friday ahead of a vote on the proposal. They clambered around the speaker's seat, some jumped on the table and dragged colleagues to the floor. Earlier this incident of trying to escape with bill document happened.
In a video circulating on social media, Taiwanese parliament member Guo Gwen tried to escape by snatching the documents of the bill brought to the parliament in the midst of the chaos on Friday. At the end, she opened the door. Before that, the lawmakers present had to gather momentum to stop him. Many tried to catch him while he was running. However, it was seen in the viral video that the profit was not made.
