Amid this situation
Published: 26 Feb. 2026, 20:30
The ruling Democratic Party is accelerating its legislative push with the strength of its parliamentary majority, raising concerns about one-sided lawmaking. The main opposition People Power Party, already limited by its minority status, is struggling to mount an effective response. Internal divisions between pro-Jang and anti-Jang factions surrounding Rep. Jang Dong-hyeok have further weakened its cohesion. With its numbers small and leadership fragmented, the party’s resistance risks appearing futile, underscoring the widening power imbalance as the ruling bloc moves forward with its agenda.
