Exclusive report on June 22, 2024, discusses the delayed National Assembly Reform bill by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and speculates on their motives. The DPP, now in power, has put a hold on the parliamentary reform versions presented by both the blue and white parties for reasons aimed at pursuing a more democratic environment. This move has raised questions about whether the DPP aims to regain power in the next elections or seek to challenge the opposition-controlled Legislative Yuan. The conflict has sparked various methods of attack and defense from all political camps, including media propaganda and fear-mongering tactics to sway public opinion, shifting the focus of the reform into an election issue rather than a unifying push for democracy. Surveys show that the public trust in the DPP remains higher than in the blue and white parties, with the parliamentary struggle risking further societal division and posing challenges to DPP's standing.
