Legislator Chen Po-wei attended a public hearing at the Legislative Yuan to discuss the 'Recall Law,' criticizing Kuomintang's proposal to increase the recall threshold as a move that benefits the Kuomintang members who have been named for recall, like Keelung Mayor Tse Kuo-liang. Chen shared his experience of being successfully recalled and highlighted the flaws in the current recall system, including the ability of recall initiators to fundraise without restrictions while the recalled individuals cannot establish political donation accounts. He emphasized the importance of providing the people with the right to recall officials for legitimate reasons, such as neglect of duty, and criticized the Kuomintang for seemingly advocating for the proposal, mentioning individual members like Yen Kuan-heng. Chen's presence and remarks shed light on the ongoing debate around recall laws in Taiwan.
