The Nationalist Party is proposing amendments to the recall system under the Public Officials Election and Recall Act, but the Green Camp interpreted it as a way to resolve the recall case of Keelung Mayor Xie Guo-liang. The Nationalist Party emphasized that the amendments were planned independently of the Xie case, urging the Democratic Progressive Party not to misunderstand maliciously. Discussing a think tank's view that the amendments could apply to ongoing cases, the Nationalist Party stated that legal interpretations are provided by legal experts, and the legislative process is to be handled by the Legislative Yuan. The Nationalist Party defended Xie as protecting the city's assets, criticizing the former Keelung Mayor for avoiding handling corruption issues during his tenure and using the Xie recall case to cover up past failures. More news covered includes Eric Chu's call to 'protect Guo-liang' and warnings about the potential negative impact of confrontational politics in Taiwan.
