The legislative reform bills recently passed the third reading in the Legislative Yuan, sparking a fierce battle between the ruling and opposition parties. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) announced plans to promote the reforms to rural areas, while the Kuomintang (KMT) countered with a similar strategy in all 22 counties and cities. DPP Legislative Yuan Caucus Chief Convener Ko Chien-ming sarcastically compared these actions to a historically great feat deserving a 'Political Nobel Prize,' urging the KMT not to block the tide of constitutional and popular will. Ko also criticized the KMT's establishment of an advocacy group against recalls and reconsiderations as an assault on democracy and constitutionalism, emphasizing the importance of aligning with public sentiment.
