In Bolivia, a
country in South America, more than 10 members of parliament got into a scuffle.

It was more like a fighting arena, not a congress, and the reason for this is what reporter Lee Hong-kap will tell you.

This is the Capitol in
La Paz, the capital of Bolivia.

At the plenary session held on the 24th local time, opposition lawmakers hold signs criticizing the government and start protesting.

An opposition lawmaker holding a protest slogan in front of the podium rushes at him, snatches the sign, and tears it up.

Soon after, punches and kicks follow.

The surrounding legislators join in, grabbing them by the hair and getting tangled up in a physical fight.

A so-called mess ensued.

The violence lasted for several minutes.

Fortunately, no lawmakers were seriously injured.

Earlier in the day, Congress reported on the detention of opposition leader Fernando Camacho Santa Cruz Governor.

Camacho was detained late last year after leading anti-government protests while serving as governor of Santa Cruz, Bolivia's most populous and economic city.

The ruling party claimed legal justification for Governor Camacho's detention, while the opposition claimed that it was a coercive investigation aimed at eliminating the political situation, but the lawmakers were embarrassed as only the wild images that ended in a scuffle were broadcast to the people on TV.
