Following the rejection of the Executive Yuan's reconsideration proposal for parliament reform by the Kuomintang and People First Party alliance, triggering a constitutional battle, advocacy efforts on the streets continue, with Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an criticizing the Democratic Progressive Party for double standards. Emotions ran high as Chiang Wan-an fervently criticized the ruling party, despite the legislative defeat of the parliament reform reconsideration proposal. Both blue and green camps persist in street advocacy, with the scenario described as directed by the Communist Party and acted out by the Kuomintang and People First Party, according to the Democratic Progressive Party. The battle extends to new territories as green camp councilors and lawmakers engage in advocacy, strategically targeting locations such as Keelung and Taipei to promote recall motions for the mayors and lawmakers. Amid the ongoing constitutional showdown over parliament reform, the Kuomintang and People First Party aim to scrutinize four major cases, including vaccine procurement, rapid antigen tests, and the optoelectronics project. While the Democratic Progressive Party threatens to swiftly introduce constitutional amendments, the Kuomintang and People First Party are actively preparing to expose alleged malpractices in government procurements and the optoelectronics corruption case, indicating an impending showdown. The goal is to investigate and tackle corruption effectively before proceeding with the constitutional battle ahead.
