The Legislative Reform Five Laws officially took effect today, with various political parties making moves related to constitutional interpretation and temporary dispositions. While the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) filed for constitutional interpretation at the Judicial Yuan, Nationalist Party (KMT) legislator Xu Qiaoxin was seen outside measuring distances with a ruler, in response to accusations made against KMT legislator Chen Yuzhen by the DPP. This incident occurred as the DPP held a press conference to declare its determination in pursuing constitutional interpretation. DPP Legislative Caucus Convener Ko Chien-ming led the caucus in submitting the constitutional interpretation and temporary disposition request to the Constitutional Court, emphasizing the gravity of the current constitutional crisis and the party's respect for the judiciary. Additionally, Prime Minister Su Rong and President Lai Ching-te soon filed similar requests following the DPP's lead. The article also discusses the fluctuation in online sentiment towards President Lai following the submission of the constitutional interpretation, indicating a decline in public approval.
