During the parliamentary session, the 'Save the Nation Union Clause' party asset regulation amendment bill led by KMT legislator You Hao went through its first reading last Friday after the People's Party's 8 legislators were absent from voting, leading to criticism from supporters for allegedly trying to sabotage. However, sources from the KMT privately revealed suspicions towards the People's Party for not voting in support. The KMT legislators were reminded not to let the People's Party take advantage of the Save the Nation Union vote but rather urge them to clarify who is truly helping them. The KMT hopes to prioritize consensus-based and livelihood-focused bills for the rest of the session, leaving the controversial 'Save the Nation Union Clause' amendment still at the committee evaluation stage, with challenges on the horizon for its finalization.
