VIDEO: Mass Brawl Erupts in Taiwan's Parliament

A real brawl has erupted in Taiwan's parliament, where lawmakers used not only their fists but also the entire "arsenal" of parliamentary property.

According to media reports, the incident began after opposition representatives blocked the entrance to the session hall, preventing members of the ruling coalition from entering.

The situation escalated ahead of a vote on a controversial reform bill that would limit the powers of the Constitutional Court and make it more difficult to remove public officials.

Meanwhile, thousands of protesters have gathered outside the parliament, demanding the repeal of the bills they believe undermine the rule of law in the country.
