The Kuomintang party in Taiwan is considering amending the law to raise the threshold for recalling legislators, leading to opposition from five small parties including the Social Democratic Party, Taiwan Green Party, Small People's Political Participation Alliance, New Power Party, and Taiwan People's Party. These parties held a joint press conference near the Legislative Yuan to denounce the Kuomintang's unilateral move to raise the recall threshold, stating that it deprives people of their basic rights, weakens civic participation, and obstructs effective government oversight. They emphasize the importance of citizen empowerment and transparent, fair, and efficient recall mechanisms to ensure effective political supervision. They vow to continue defending Taiwan's democracy against political interests and uphold the rights of the people to participate and express their opinions.
