Democratic Progressive Party legislative caucus chief secretary Wu Si-yao interviewed by Hu Chia-ming on June 16, 2024, at 12:36 a.m. The Legislative Yuan is expected to vote on the review of certain articles of the Legislative Yuan Exercise of Powers Act and the amendments to the Penal Code on the 21st, with the Taiwan Citizen Front calling for civic network 'Green Bird Action', prompting citizens to return to the Legislative Yuan. The Kuomintang has also mobilized, leading to an external and internal battle at the Legislative Yuan. However, the Democratic Progressive Party has stated that it will not intervene in the Green Bird Action. Both sides are gearing up for nationwide rallies, with the Taiwan Citizen Front aiming to gather supporters around the Legislative Yuan on June 19-21. Wu Si-yao emphasized the difference in nature between the Green Bird and Blue Bird activities, pointing out that while the former is a civic initiative, the latter is party-driven, urging the Kuomintang to exercise restraint and prevent potential conflicts. She highlighted that the responsibility of the Democratic Progressive Party lies in the chamber, ensuring substantive examination within the full committee, while also emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace during external activities, stating that in Taiwan's diverse democracy, if issues cannot be debated in parliament, they should be discussed in society.
