The 'Blue Bird Action' gathered outside the Legislative Yuan for three days in protest against the Kuomintang and People First Party's push for legislation to expand parliamentary powers. Organizers reported 5000 participants on the first night. Despite sunny weather in the morning, heavy rain fell in the afternoon. The event organizers announced that the 'Citizen Anti-Parliamentary Abuse' rally would continue the next day at 10 a.m. Various civic groups are urging continued participation to protect Taiwan's democratic values, cautioning the Kuomintang against deviating from public opinion, especially warning non-constituency Kuomintang legislators eyeing mayoral seats. Concerns have been raised about the Kuomintang's proposed laws on transportation and nuclear plant extensions potentially being passed without thorough evaluation, endangering Taiwan's environment and its people.
