The Parliamentary Reform Act took effect today, prompting four constitutional institutions including the Presidential Office to request constitutional interpretation and temporary disposition. Following President Lai Ching-te's request for constitutional interpretation two days ago, the Control Yuan announced yesterday that it will request constitutional interpretation and temporary disposition from the Constitutional Court based on the constitution, past interpretations by the Grand Justices, and international human rights conventions. The Democratic Progressive Party caucus in the Legislative Yuan is expected to submit a constitutional interpretation request today, with the Executive Yuan likely to follow suit. The Control Yuan's actions have sparked criticisms from the Kuomintang party over its handling of various controversies. The article also discusses the contrasting views between the Legislative Yuan and the Control Yuan regarding their respective powers and responsibilities in the context of the current constitutional framework.
