Lawmakers clash, as DPP accuses KMT legislative speaker of killing democracy
Lawmakers clash, as DPP accuses KMT legislative speaker of killing democracy
2025-04-11
There were more protests in the Legislative Yuan on Friday, as the DPP protested opposition parties sending two controversial referendum proposals to a second reading. The KMT and TPP recently sent the motion for two contentious referendums on opposing the death penalty and opposing martial law straight to a second reading. However, an official document from the Legislative Yuan clearly started the legislative session should have finished that day at 6 p.m. so the DPP is accusing the opposition of an “illegal meeting” as it held the session at night.
DPP lawmakers hold copies of an official document marked with a big cross, which stated a legislative session should end at 6p.m. They are protesting what they say was an “illegal meeting” held by the KMT and TPP where they forced a motion for two referendum proposals.
Both the TPP and KMT used their joint parliamentary majority to forcibly confirm the legislative proceedings on that day, and the two referendum proposals have now formally made it to a second reading. DPP lawmakers were so angry, that they threw the documents on the floor to show their dissatisfaction.
DPP lawmakers denounced legislative speaker Han Kuo-yu for leading a revolt. DPP legislative caucus whip Ker Chien-ming even proposed sending the 62 opposition lawmakers to a disciplinary committee, as they had held an “illegal meeting.”

To my surprise the Legislative Yuan was able to hold a vote after the legally-stipulated session time had ended. This is unprecedented, the worst of the worst, a serious loss of legislative functioning and a serious disciplinary issue.

I wonder exactly who it is that should be sent to the disciplinary committee. I don’t want to depict Ker Chien-ming as a cancer, but the Taiwanese people have sharp eyes.
With opposition party legislators using their numerical advantage to veto the DPP caucus’s proposal, relations between ruling and opposition legislators are likely to become more intense.

2025-04-11
藍白日前在立院聯手突襲，將反廢死、反戒嚴公投逕付二讀，民進黨立委不滿違法開會，今天院會拿出"放大版"的議事錄，要求重新確認，總召柯建銘還要將在野黨62個立委都送到紀律委員會！但在藍白人數優勢之下，議事錄獲確認，讓綠營立委氣得痛罵韓國瑜是民主殺手！
民進黨立委人手一本議事錄，上頭打著大大的叉，議場中央也擺上"放大版"的議事錄，抗議藍白立委日前違法開會，強行通過反廢死、反戒嚴兩公投提案。
藍白又以人數優勢，強行確認議事錄，兩公投案正式逕付二讀，綠營立委氣得把議事錄摔在場上，表達不滿。
綠委痛罵韓國瑜帶頭作亂，民進黨團總召柯建銘更提案，要將違法開會的在野黨62席立委，通通送到紀律委員會。
[[立院民進黨團幹事長 吳思瑤]]
“立院居然可以在，法定會議時間結束後進場表決，前所未見，惡例中的惡例，嚴正的國會失能，嚴正的紀律問題”
[[立院民眾黨團總召 黃國昌]]
“我想到底誰該被送紀律委員會，我不願意用毒瘤來形容他(柯建銘) ，台灣人民都有眼睛是雪亮的”
在野黨立委還是以人數優勢，否決民進黨團提案，也預告接下來的立院攻防，態勢恐怕更激烈。
