Tension is at its peak in the Taiwan Parliament! Government and opposition MPs came into conflict with each other in the reform discussions that started days before the change of administration.
FISTS WERE FLYING IN THE AIR IN THE ASSEMBLY!
The new leader Lai Ching-te, who was elected president in the elections held in January, came to power without gaining a majority in the parliament, which increased the tension with the reform steps taken. A few days before Lai Ching-te took office, chaos broke out in the parliament when a fight broke out with fists flying. Accordingly, reform discussions turned into a violent fight.
While the vote was being held in the parliament, tension increased second by second. It is also reported that some MPs shouted and pushed each other outside the parliament even before the votes started to be cast.
In the hall where control was completely lost, MPs came to blows around the chair of the parliament speaker. Some jumped over tables and knocked their colleagues to the ground. While the events calmed down from time to time and continued throughout the day, the shocking fight was caught on camera second by second.
HE TAKEN THE VOTES AND RUN AWAY!
After the shocking brawl, Guo Guowen, a member of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), ran away with the votes cast in the vote to prevent the passage of the legislative package containing the new reforms.
Lai Ching-te’s failed parliamentary majority demands greater oversight of the government. In this process, the opposition pressed the government to increase its monitoring powers and made demands such as the punishment of officials who were thought to have made false statements. These demands are among the factors that increase tension the most.
