The Parliament's bill on expanding powers will be reviewed and voted on June 21, prompting speculation on whether the Executive Yuan will conduct a hundred briefings in rural areas akin to the 'four different opinions' approach in the past. Premier Audrey Tang stated there are no such plans due to ongoing official duties, while Green Party legislator calls for public discourse during the constitutional interpretation stage. Tang emphasized following this direction in engaging with the public. Both the Blue and Green parties will hold rural public forums this weekend to discuss the impact of parliament's power expansion and the legitimacy of parliamentary reform, gearing up for the vote on June 21. However, unlike past practices during the four major referendums where then-Premier Su Tseng-chang led a team to explain across the island, the Executive Yuan has not announced a nationwide public discourse plan yet. Tang reiterated a commitment to using the forthcoming parliamentary query sessions in explaining the government's stance clearly to legislators.
