The parliamentary reform debate on 'TV debate' proposed by the People First Party broke down as the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) refused to participate, leading to the cancellation of the televised debate. PFP convenor Huang Kuo-chang criticized the DPP for avoiding the battle, emphasizing the importance of public policy debates on television in a democratic society. The breakdown of the debate comes amid tensions between the political parties, with the PFP accusing the DPP of dodging accountability and favoring procedural justice and the law. Internal disagreements within the PFP were also highlighted, particularly in response to a proposed amendment to party asset legislation, with some grassroots members criticizing Huang Kuo-chang for aligning too closely with the opposition.
