Conflict flares over special counsel bill on Marine's death


In recent days, tensions have risen between rival political parties due to the opposition's introduction of a revised version of a bill calling for a special counsel investigation into the death of a young Marine. The ruling party has objected to this latest version, claiming that it only superficially incorporates a previous suggestion made by the ruling party leader. On the other hand, the main opposition party insists that the revised bill reflects an idea put forward by the ruling party leader and urges him to honor his earlier commitment. The conflict stems from the differences between the latest version of the bill and previous ones, notably in its alignment with a pledge made by the ruling party leader regarding the appointment of a special counsel by a "third party." The ruling party has called for the opposition to withdraw their proposal, while the opposition contends that the ruling party leader should stand by his public commitment. This escalation of tensions follows the unsuccessful official talks between the two party leaders, where they failed to reach a consensus on the special counsel bill but agreed to establish a consultative body to address common livelihood policies.
