During the parliamentary meeting on June 24th, the Democratic Progressive Party placed balloons with anti-expansion of power and anti-evil laws at the venue, sparking a dispute over whether the Legislative Yuan's expansion of investigative power is constitutional. The recent law amendment strengthens the Legislative Yuan's authority in investigating matters related to legislation, budget review, personnel approvals, and national decisions. The amendment allows the establishment of investigation committees or special investigation teams, enhancing the parliament's oversight of the executive branch. The reform also includes provisions for witness interrogations, confidentiality of certain aspects, and penalties for non-cooperation.
