Chapter 223: Surging Public Opinion [1/5]

Rolling from the inside of the house to the outside of the house to sweat, to wash away the stains on the body, and then lie down in the sun, the weather in New York is a little cooler, and the afternoon sun is the most comfortable.

Hela seems to be going shopping with Eden, and when no one is annoying, he can put on earplugs and listen to songs, and then use his mobile phone to pay attention to the current affairs in the outside world.

The most lively thing in the United States during this time is definitely the "Superhero Registration Act". People from all walks of life are arguing, the news media are broadcasting, and civil demonstrations and protests continue.

Signs and protests at the entrance of the White House have continued to this day, and the president decided to launch a referendum in order to make the whole society feel that the government respects the will of the people.

Unlike previous votes, which only represented opinions, this time the public will affect the bill of the National Assembly, and people can vote on the official website of the government through their personal ID.

The Stanford tragedy was in the front, superheroes were difficult to be restrained by the law, and the attitude of the people was surprisingly consistent.

There is a point of view: when a lawyer needs a license, a doctor needs a license, and even a taxi needs a license, why can superheroes get away with it without restraint?

There are also sharp points such as: superpowers are simply walking bombs, uncontrolled and uninvestigated, shouldn't they be assessed before they "serve the society"?

This similar sentiment swept the Internet, countless people responded in support, and demonstrations in big cities also carried related slogans.

In this huge protest, the government gave them an outlet, and in the initial stage of the opening of voting, the number of votes in favor of superhero registration, as many as 98%!

Even if it has since declined, it remains at a high level of 90%. Both houses of Congress, the presidential cabinet, and even the United Nations agencies are staring at this surging public opinion.

Although the National Assembly has not yet held a formal vote on the bill, Bai Mu has learned from the president that the registration bill is imperative, and no lawmaker dares to defy this strong public opinion.

This also means that conflicts are inevitable.

Bai Mu doesn't like to take sides, because both sides have the interests he wants. The face-covering attitude of the American team is conducive to him playing privileges, and he doesn't have to be responsible after pretending to be forced, and he doesn't want to be supervised everywhere.

Iron Man's strategy represents the opinion of the majority of the people, and if he opposes it as a law enforcement official, he will turn his back on the people and lose fans.

So he could only call Hill: "Before the bill passes, you go to the U.S. team and tell him the actual situation, so that he understands that the confrontation with public opinion will deteriorate into a big scuffle." ”

"I'll advise him." Hill had it in mind.

The U.S. team also went to the meeting as scheduled, and at the office in New York, he expected what would happen and said, "Is it about the registration bill?" ”

Hill took out all the regulations of the bill: "Before the law is introduced and takes effect, we hope that we can avoid superhero infighting and achieve mutual understanding." ”

The American team picked it up and flipped through it, and Hill said at the same time: "I know that you have many friends who are extremely repulsive about revealing their identities and accepting government management. However, I would like to ask, will they be able to accept this new request? ”

The U.S. team said: "I can't represent them. But I stick to my original view that this bill will make us cannibalistic and disheartening a large number of heroes who fight for the people. ”

Hill wants to declare: "But the law is the law, and if any country does not speak of the law, it will have absolutely no prosperity and order." ”

The American team did not want to give in: "This is unfair, public opinion is carried away by anger!" Just like the original treatment of mutants, the superheroes who oppose registration are just a new batch of 'mutants'. ”

Hill patiently persuaded: "You have to understand that the chaos caused by disagreements will always affect the society and the people, and if you insist on breaking the law, we will have no choice!" ”

The U.S. team wondered, "What is the director's opinion?" ”

Hill revealed: "He should have liked your point of view more...... But he can't support you. He wants to listen to the choice of the majority, and he does not want to be on the opposite side of the people. ”

The American team sighed: "Even if it is a hot-headed wrong decision of the people? ”

Hill was serious: "But this is the choice of the people, this is democracy!" Are you going to oppose democracy? ”

The American team shook their heads: "The emotions of the people have been hijacked by those politicians with dirty plots, and sooner or later the politicians will turn superheroes into their weapons and have a reason to put charges on their opponents!" ”

"I can't predict the future, but I know that the people in front of me can't be disobeyed, and if you continue to fight until the bill goes into effect, the anger of the people will be vented on you," Hill said. ”

The U.S. team was disappointed: "It's a really bad situation. ”

"Sort of." Hill spoke as a friend, "But that's how the real world works, following the opinions of the majority, obeying the law, and there are no rules. ”

……

Washington.

There was a large crowd of people gathered around Congress because it was the day of the bill to vote, and people from all over the state were coming to call for justice with signs and pictures of the victims in their hands.

There were even people who acted as organizers of the crowd, maintaining order and leading slogans, which sounded whenever a member of parliament arrived and was ready to enter the Capitol building.

"Justice for the victims!"

"Superheroes have no extralegal privileges!"

"Superpowers should be registered like guns!"

Those celebrity legislators still have time to stop and speak to the people and to the media cameras: "I will definitely seek justice for you!" The registration bill must pass! ”

A more lively response erupted, and the crisis became an opportunity for many people to take advantage of the performance, and within Congress, both houses are preparing to vote on the Superhero Registration Act.

Almost all the members of the parliament cast their own votes, and under the supervision of the Supreme Court, the final voting result came out: the bill was passed by an overwhelming majority.

And the effective time will be in seven days! This means that those superheroes who oppose registration have seven days to change their minds.

But on the day the bill was passed, some media took out the title of "Captain America Takes the Lead in Opposition", which corresponded to the section where the bill was passed, causing an uproar!

As a well-known superhero in Americans, many people grew up listening to his name and reading his deeds, and they also thought that he was known as a representative of justice in the United States.

However, at this juncture, when 90% of the people supported the registration and the bill was overwhelmingly passed by Congress, he actually acted against the will of the people and opposed the bill that the people wanted?

In an extremely sharp and targeted tone, the report criticized Captain America's behavior, directly calling it a "betrayal of the people and a betrayal of justice".

Wider condemnation and discontent continue to erupt on the Internet, which in turn has led Congress to demand that the government must come up with an effective plan to control this group of blatant opponents!

Inside the White House conference room.

Cabinet officials, military officials, and Hill from the relevant departments, and Tony Stark, the representative of the Avengers, were all on the scene. They discuss how to further manage these superheroes, with a focus on the opposition.

Hill first stated: "Director White's opinion is that the law is above all else, right and wrong are left to the courts and judges to judge, and we are only responsible for enforcing the law. ”

After thinking about it, Tony said: "The current situation is that there are a considerable number of people who support the American team, and ordinary law enforcers rashly confront each other, which is not effective, and may even cause unnecessary casualties." ”

The president asked, "What do you suggest?" ”

"Recently, I was approached by supporters of the bill and suggested the formation of a 'superpowered police' organization to make up for the lack of strength of the Avengers and the superpowered people in the relevant departments," Tony said. ”

Hill was a little suspicious: "The number of superpowers with combat ability is very limited. ”

Tony explained: "They thought they could use those superpowers in prison to form a law enforcement team, accept the strictest supervision, and score them on performance and grades, giving them a chance to redeem again!" ”

PS: In the comics, most of the people support the registration bill, and I didn't scribble this. In fact, the comics have a deeper discussion of the Civil War.
