Taiwanese lawmakers shoved, tackled and hit each other in parliament on Friday in a bitter dispute about reforms to the chamber, just days before President-elect Lai Ching-te takes office without a legislative majority.
Lai, who is to be inaugurated on Monday, won January’s election, but his Democratic Progressive Party lost its majority in parliament. Taiwanese lawmakers shoved, tackled and hit each other in parliament on May 17 in a bitter dispute about reforms to the chamber, just days before president-elect Lai Ching-te takes office without a legislative majority.The DPP says the KMT and TPP are improperly trying to force through the proposals without the customary consultation process in what the DPP calls “an unconstitutional abuse of power”.
The KMT’s Jessica Chen, from the Taiwan-administered Kinmen islands that sit next to the Chinese coast, said the reforms were to enable better legislative oversight of the executive branch.
