Adjustments to Recall Mechanism? Both Eric Chu and Ko Wen-je Find 'This Matter' Odd

Reported 9 months ago

Although the parliamentary reform bill has taken effect, it has caused polarization between the ruling party and opposition, with civic groups plotting the recall of several Kuomintang legislators. Even the recall case of Kuomintang's Keelung Mayor, Xie Guoliang, has entered the second stage of petition. The Kuomintang caucus in the Legislative Yuan will propose an amendment to the Recall and Dismissal of Public Officials Election Act. Both Kuomintang Chairman, Eric Chu, and People First Party Chairman, Ko Wen-je, interviewed on the 28th, believe that the recall petition only requires copying the name and ID number, which differs greatly from the procedure for recalling the president that requires attaching a copy of the ID card; they find this mechanism unreasonable.
