The Legislative Yuan rejected the reconsideration of the parliamentary authority reform bill, prompting Eric Chu, the KMT chairman, to urge the DPP government to understand public opinion and return to their determination for democratic reform without forgetting their original intentions. If the DPP continues to resist reform, the KMT will continue to spread awareness and show their resolution for reform. The rejection of the Executive Yuan's reconsideration bill, which violated public opinion, democracy, and reform ambitions, received widespread support, including from the People First Party legislators.
