The Executive Yuan proposed a review of parliamentary powers, which sparked criticism from the Kuomintang (KMT) on June 13th, 2024. The KMT accused the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of having double standards, stating that the DPP's recent proposals to disrespect parliament are hypocritical, calling their 'anti-abuse of power, protect democracy' campaign a 'mommy's boy' action, accusing the DPP of protecting immature officials. This has led to a debate on the sincerity of the DPP's parliamentary reform efforts, with KMT officials highlighting the central government's resistance to bills against disrespecting parliament while local DPP factions propose such bills. The KMT emphasized the importance of supporting parliament reform and criticized the DPP for prioritizing expanding executive power over legislative power, labeling the DPP's efforts as deceptive.
