The review motion on parliamentary reform presented by the Executive Yuan sparked a major dispute between the ruling and opposition parties in Taiwan's Legislative Yuan following the passing of the Parliament Reform Act on June 19, 2024. Premier Su Tseng-chang listed six reasons for the review, citing violations of democratic principles, hindrance to the Cabinet's operations, and more. Both the blue and white camps are firm in their positions, with the Kuomintang mobilizing to oppose the motion while the People First Party has announced unanimous opposition. President Lai Ching-te encouraged thorough discussions within 48 hours, emphasizing a constitutional approach to parliamentary reform amidst societal concerns and the need for bipartisan cooperation.
