The Legislative Yuan's Internal Affairs Committee will review the Recall of Public Servants Law tomorrow. The Nationalist Party Caucus reiterated today that they do not have a predetermined position and that the amendment aims to correct existing flaws in the system, unlike past DPP parliamentary majorities that enacted targeted legislative amendments. They will continue to gather consensus among different parties and propose improvements for the recall petition system to enhance the public officials' recall system. The committee will review the Recall of Public Servants Law tomorrow, and the Nationalist Party Caucus emphasized that the amendment is a response to the long-standing public concerns about the irrationalities in the recall system, especially the absurdity of a recall vote tally falling below the elected official's vote count. There have been proposals for amendments by DPP legislators in the past to address these issues, and the Nationalist Party Caucus will focus on refining the current recall system to better respect democratic principles.
