Opposition Kuomintang lawmakers push through the barricaded doorway with chairs.

Members of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party throw their whole body to prevent it, but it is not enough.

As soon as the National Party, which won the chairman's seat, opened unilaterally, bottled water was sprayed on the chairman's face.

The beginning of the violence is three bills proposed by the Nationalist Party.

The Democratic Progressive Party and civic groups strongly opposed bills that made it difficult to summon elected officials and restricted the Constitutional Court.

Eventually, as the Nationalist Party predicted a bill to be enforced, DPP lawmakers stormed the parliament the night before and blocked the chamber.

Neither party won a majority of seats in the January general election, but the Nationalist Party's alliance with the People's Party created a ruling coalition.Outside the

Congress, thousands of DPP supporters gathered to protest overnight.

Some participants drew attention by carrying K-pop cheering sticks that appeared at pro-impeachment rallies in Korea.

There have also been several physical clashes in Taiwan's parliament before and after President Lei Ching-deh's inauguration in May.

In 2020, they threw pork intestines at each other after being at odds over US meat imports.

Reuters News Agency called Taiwan a violent democracy.
