After the passage of the Parliamentary Powers Expansion Act in Taiwan, concerns over constitutional imbalance arose, leading to presidential, executive, and supervisory institutions as well as DPP legislative caucus submitting constitutional interpretations. President Lai Ching-te stated that the legislative process stirred high societal doubts and involved violations of the separation of powers and infringement of people's basic rights, prompting the need for constitutional interpretations and temporary measures to stabilize the political situation. Party officials criticized the Blue Camp for encroaching upon the three powers and directly stripping citizens' rights, potentially turning the Legislative Yuan, where the Kuomintang holds the majority, into a 'Godzilla' in terms of constitutional matters, posing an unprecedented crisis to Taiwan's democratic politics. The Blue camp, in response to controversies, aims to prevent recall of public officials deemed incompetent by raising the recall threshold through a proposed amendment to the Public Officials Election and Recall Act. This move has sparked public backlash and scrutiny, as it appears to serve the political agenda of the Kuomintang by curbing citizens' rights.
