Civic groups launch second phase of Bluebird Movement
Civic groups launch second phase of Bluebird Movement
2024-06-11
The fight continues against the legislature’s attempt to expand its powers. Activists have launched Phase 2 of their campaign, which aims to put public pressure on blue-camp lawmakers. From Tuesday to Sunday, they’ll visit the constituencies of opposition lawmakers, to make their case directly to the public.
Launched by civic groups, the Bluebird Movement protests the legislature’s attempt to expand its powers. The movement went to New York last week, with Taiwanese expats renting an LED display in Times Square to promote their cause. The movement appeared in France on Monday, as expats rented a boat to sail down the Seine River. On Tuesday, activists announced that they’re pressing on with their domestic campaign.
Over the past two weeks, civic groups have recruited about a thousand volunteers for the movement’s second phase. Before the legislature votes on a government veto motion, activists will visit the KMT’s constituencies, to make their case directly to the voters.

We will put pressure on the blue camp’s lawmakers, in hopes of changing their vote on the government veto. We’ve recruited nearly a thousand volunteers. We plan to hold dialogues at the local level from June 11 to 16.
Hsiao Jen-yu
New Taipei civic group leader
The constituencies of the 41 blue-camp lawmakers have the right to monitor their representative’s words, deeds, votes and proposals, to stop the KMT from passing legislation that rolls back the clock on democracy.
The civic groups’ next stops will be New Taipei’s Banqiao and Tamsui, as well as Keelung. Starting from Northern Taiwan, they will rally support against the legislature’s abuse of power, and urge the public to defend democracy.
Hsu Kuan-tze
Economic Democracy Union deputy secretary-general
The Bluebird Movement is nonpartisan, and it does not belong to any political figure. We oppose the hypocritical Fu Kun-chi and the doubled-faced Huang Kuo-chang.
Lai Chung-chiang
Economic Democracy Union convener
We’re calling on all of the nation’s political parties to join the people in defending Taiwan’s democracy.
Following their 100,000-strong demonstration outside parliament, the activists are continuing to advance their cause, to make the opposition hear the true voice of the people.

公民反對國會濫權! 民團到藍營選區"選民對話"施壓
2024-06-11
公民反國會濫權行動沒有停下腳步，第一階段立院集結行動後，多個民團和小黨，共同投入「在地對話」行動，把握覆議後立法院重新議決前的有限時間，與國民黨選區選民對話，施加壓力、拒絕藍白持續讓國會失速，而11日到16日的地方公民行動，也已經募集到上千志工投入。
立法院國會擴權修法，引發民眾不滿，公民發起的「青鳥行動」從國內飛向全球，上周台僑才包下美國紐約時代廣場的LED牆，播放廣告，10日輪到法國接棒，包船遊塞納河挺台灣，國內也開始行動。
這兩週，民團已經募集上千志工，要展開第二階段行動，把握覆議後，立法院重新議決前的有限時間，與國民黨選區的選民對話。
[[公投護台灣聯盟總召 羅宜]]
“向藍營立委施壓，希望改變藍營區域立委覆議時的投票傾向。召募了近千名志工，並規劃6月11日至16日的在地對話行動。”
[[新北青年公共事務協會理事長 蕭任佑]]
“41位藍營區域立委的選區，都有自主公民的力量，監督這些區域立委的言行、提案還有表決，阻止國民黨在未來四年推動各項讓民主倒退的法案。”
民團下一站要前進新北板橋、淡水，還有基隆，從北部出發，要將反國會濫權的訴求，延伸到「拒絕民主倒退」。
[[經濟民主連合副秘書長 許冠澤]]
“青鳥行動不屬於任何政黨，不屬於任何政治人物。我們反對的是，真小人傅崐萁，以及偽君子黃國昌。”
[[經濟民主連合智庫召集人 賴中強]]
“我們呼籲全國各政黨，跟隨公民步伐，一起來捍衛台灣的民主。”
十萬公民怒吼包圍立法院，接下來更不會停下腳步，要讓藍白聽見人民真正的聲音。
