Taiwan's parliament sits inside the Legislative Yuan in Taipei, May 17, 2019. TAIPEI: Taiwan's main opposition party again occupied parliament on Tuesday to protest against the nomination of a close aide to the president to a top-level watchdog, after fighting with ruling party lawmakers to get into the building.
The KMT has been protesting President Tsai Ing-wen's nomination of her senior aide Chen Chu to head the Control Yuan, an independent government watchdog, saying it is"political cronyism". KMT lawmakers overturned the stand where Chen was due to speak, unveiling banners reading"no to cronyism, withdraw the nomination"."We cannot accept this and are resolutely opposed to it," KMT Chairman Johnny Chiang told supporters outside parliament.
"I hope all parties can get back to official business. We will discuss matters in a democratic parliament and discuss them rationally," she wrote.
