Today, the Legislative Yuan invited various organizations and experts to hold a public hearing on the Public Officials Recall and Election Law, with former legislator Chen Po-wei and Kaohsiung City Councilor Chang Bo-yang attending. The public questioned the Kuomintang's proposed amendment to raise the recall threshold, speculating that it aims to facilitate the recall of their own legislators. The Blue Camp emphasized a stance against "retaliatory" recalls, while the Ministry of the Interior stressed the need for careful considerations on raising the threshold. Chen Po-wei, having been recalled, returned to the Legislative Yuan to share his experience and warned against recalls turning into post-election struggles. Chang Bo-yang urged KMT to apologize to Chen Po-wei before considering raising recall thresholds, highlighting the discrepancies between the recall orchestrated by the Yen family and the KMT's current proposal. The Blue Camp's proposed amendments to the recall law will undergo review, with objections from the People First Party and possible actions from legislator Gao Jin-sumei. The ongoing debates indicate preparations for the upcoming era of major recalls.
