Reborn American Giants

Bender is now very distressed. Victor himself is the largest gang organization in San Salvador and the leader behind the Gref family. Now he has become a member of the San Salvador City Council, which makes Bender feel even more "troublesome".

Without conclusive evidence, the police investigate a congressman, which will expose him to the wrath of all "people". This is something that he, the little police chief of San Salvador, cannot resist, those "glorious" politics on the stage.

Everyone has some shameful things. If the police investigate them privately, then what secrets do they have? At this time, they will deal with Director Bender collectively regardless of party affiliation or position.

Throw out Victor's identity file directly? Bender gave up on this method after thinking about it. This would only make Victor lose one layer of his identity as a member, but he himself would not be damaged at all.

Instead, he did so and openly opposed Victor. Victor, who had lost his "political cloak", would only use all means to deal with him, Director Bender, including but not limited to assassination.

Eliminate, Bender still has his family, he doesn't want to send a large number of police around his house 24 hours a day to protect his family. What's the difference between that kind of life and going to jail?

It would be better to be like now, where their fights are all carried out in secret, and everyone has not broken their skin. At least they are still within the political rules, playing "powerful means". He does not believe that his political means will be better than others.

How about Victor, a fledgling "rookie congressman"?

This is Bender's trouble, and of course Victor will not know it. He is currently in an office on the third floor of the former Ministry of Education building, now the San Salvador Congress.

Today I was busy registering, swearing an oath, stating that I would exercise the rights granted by the people under the provisions of the Constitution of El Salvador, etc., and then assigned him a parliamentary office. Lopez was already in place and was directing

Some people put desks, bookshelves and other things. There are a total of sixty members of the San Salvador Congress. This former Ministry of Education building is more than enough to accommodate these people. Therefore,

The office assigned to Victor seemed quite large. In addition to a small lounge opened in one office, an adjacent room was also transformed into a small conference room, connected by a brown door.

Victor's office is connected, and the workroom of Lopez and other office staff is opposite the congressman's office. If Victor needs it, he only needs to shout for someone to come quickly.

Sitting on the soft office chair, Victor reached out and touched the desk in front of him. The desk made of oak boards exuded a fragrance of wood. The corners on the edges were polished into arcs, and the entire desktop was painted

It is brown and can be seen through the light. There are two huge floor-to-ceiling windows at the back. The entire building faces north and south, so there is plenty of light.

The San Salvador Assembly has a total of 60 members, with the Christian Democrats occupying 28 seats, followed by the Nationalist Republican Alliance, which won 18 seats. The remaining 14 members were divided among members representing other parties. No one party

can claim control of the San Salvador City Council, from here

It can be seen from here how anxious the current domestic situation in El Salvador is. Although the Christian Democratic Party has an advantage, it is not obvious. In addition to the Nationalist Republican Alliance following closely behind, there are also the National Unity Alliance and others.

Other parties are immersed in developing themselves silently.

The capital, accounting for more than one-fifth of the country's population, and the country's economic, political, and academic center, these words make San Salvador's status so important. As a new member of the parliament, Victor can be said to be important but not important.

Why is this so? The reason is that Victor has never been involved in politics before, so he does not have much influence. But the important point is that the Christian Democrats only have a slight advantage. If they want to pass or enact a certain local

In order to reach the half-vote requirement stipulated by law, in addition to having one or more votes from your own party to vote in favor, you also need to win over people from other neutral parties, so Victor's vote is very important.

However, even if the Christian Democratic Party occupies half of the parliamentary seats, it is not easy to rest easy. In parliamentary politics, there is a word "filibuster", which means lengthy debate, or unrestricted debate, which is an "artifact" specially designed to deal with this kind of situation.

This word originates from Spanish and means that pirates hijack ships and extort ransom from ship owners. In politics, it represents a minority party or even only one member, facing a majority with a slight advantage (half the voting rate) in the parliament.

When a bill promoted by a party is put to a vote and is unable to veto it,

They can send a congressman to deliver a marathon speech on the stage through a "non-stop" speech or debate, and other people are not allowed to interrupt or obstruct, so as to ensure the "foundation of independent politics" and allow others to have the right to speak.

However, it was used by the minority to paralyze discussions, obstruct voting, etc.

If you want to shut up, you can initiate "supermajority", that is, an absolute majority system. At this time, the voting rate will reach three-fifths, instead of the original half voting rate.

If the minority parties threaten us to engage in "unrestricted debate", then in order for the parliamentary vote to proceed smoothly, the speaker will have to ask for a voting rate of three-fifths of the bill, instead of the original rate of three-fifths.

One-half of.

Therefore, we can often see that the voting rate for a bill in the U.S. Congress is 50%, which has reached a simple majority. However, due to the passing rate of three-fifths, the bill is still rejected.

This method ensures that the minority can achieve its own political rights, and every bill cannot be voted according to the interests of the party. In addition, each party is divided into three factions: "left, center, and right" according to different political views.

, MPs vote according to their own political will or needs, and sometimes they may even be pulled away by rival parties, so you will understand that people like Asdias Amfilo

As a member of the Christian Democratic Party, he is just the chairman of the National Committee of the Christian Democratic Party, and his position is only a member of the National Assembly. Why does he have a "secondary position" in the Christian Democratic Party and become one of the big bosses? It is because he is in

In the National Assembly, it serves as the "party whip" of the majority party, allowing the Christian Democrats to win over members of the center parties and enable their party to firmly control the National Assembly.

Therefore, Victor can now make full use of the importance of his vote. For proposals that have little to do with him, he can choose to raise his hand to pass them. Of course, this "easy effort" is not without cost. When the day comes, for the

For Victor, if you want to pass more important proposals, today's raise of hands will be effective.

For example, right now, Victor is sitting in the audience. Next to him is Aristo Ouer, from the first district of the same party. With a smile on his face, he stretched out his right hand to Victor and greeted him warmly, "Hi,

Hello, Congressman Victor, I have wanted to get to know you for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you. I haven’t seen you at several party gatherings. It’s really a pity that I didn’t see you until now.”

Victor had just sat down and was looking at the situation in the venue while verifying the information on the congressmen that Lopez had compiled for him in his mind to deepen his impression. When he heard someone talking to him next to him, he was stunned for a moment, but it was very short.

I quickly searched for information about Orville in my mind.

Ariste O'Ovil, a lawyer by training, once served as Jose Napoleon Duarte's personal lawyer and was proficient in various legal issues. It is suspected that the person behind him is the most powerful political figure in El Salvador today, the Revolutionary Army.

Government Chairman Jose, this time he ran for the first district of the San Salvador City Council as a representative of the Christian Democratic Party. His easy victory was inseparable from Jose's support.

"Hello, Congressman Orville, you are so polite. I am very happy to meet you." Victor returned the same warm smile.

"I know it's your first time to participate in this kind of voting meeting. How was it? Didn't you find it interesting?" Orville looked at Victor's shoulder in a very intimate manner and whispered.

Victor had no choice but to deal with a member of Congress who was familiar with him. He didn't know if he was like this in nature or something else. He was so enthusiastic towards people he met for the first time. He quietly moved his body and put the person on his back.

Shaking off his hands on his shoulders, Victor kept smiling and said: "As a new member of the party, I still have many things I don't understand that I want to ask you for advice."

"Haha, no problem," Orville smiled heartily, then tilted his head towards Victor, blinked, and said to Victor in a narrow tone: "Just watch, there will be a good show today.

You can see."

Victor responded with a puzzled look, but Orville gave a mysterious smile, which meant that Victor would find out later. Victor had no choice but to watch the noisy debate scene and quietly wait for what Orville said.

What exactly is a "good show"?
