KMT is pushing for amendments to the Public Officials Election and Recall Law, proposing to raise the recall threshold to 'votes received +1', but DPP legislators accuse this move of being 'self-serving' and insist it should only apply to the next term of legislators even if passed. The KMT think tank rebuked this claim today, criticizing the misinterpretation of Constitutional Interpretation No. 499 by the green legislators as creating political lies to manipulate public opinion and deceive those unaware of the law. The think tank argues that legislative amendments should not retroactively affect ongoing events, only apply to the future. Therefore, any extension of the 'term' through amendments should apply only to the 'legislators elected in the next election'.
