on the 24th, the blue and white parties jointly blocked the taiwan authorities' general budget for next year in the "procedure committee" of taiwan's public opinion institution. facing the opposition offensive, taiwan leader and dpp chairman lai ching-te issued a "military order" yesterday (25th), requiring all members of the dpp caucus to obey the command of the party caucus. not only must all members participate in the party caucus meeting throughout the whole process, but also the meetings of taiwan's public opinion institutions, the "procedure committee", and the eight permanent "committees" must be fully present. in response to this, kmt legislator wang hongwei said that the kmt caucus will also mobilize at the a level to respond to important issues, but unlike lai, the kmt is not blindly engaging in confrontation, and will have strong arguments for the handling of the budget.

last night, the head of the taiwan executive yuan, toh jung-tai, hosted a banquet for green camp legislators and heads of various departments, lamenting that the taiwan executive yuan should have "gloriously discussed the highlights of the new year", but now it can only talk about how to break through, and "the highlights have become dim." when wu si-yao, secretary-general of the democratic progressive party caucus, quoted toh jung-tai's words, she said that "local construction has become a shadow", and it seems that she wants to put the blame on the opposition party for blocking the construction budgets of counties and cities.

kuomintang chairman eric chu said that blocking the budget is the power of the dpp, and the dpp caucus should ask the executive branch to explain how to remedy the situation, rather than using populism to attack the opposition party. if this is the case at the beginning of the session, how can the "legislative" and "executive" parties cooperate?

regarding lai ching-te's "military order", wang hongwei said that "issuing a military order" is strange, and lai ching-te seems to want to fight the opposition to the end. the reasons for the opposition party to return the general budget are very clear. he only needs to respond to the demands one by one and review and propose solutions, and the general budget dispute will be resolved. but lai ching-te wants to take a comprehensive confrontation approach. she criticized lai ching-te for just confiscating the powers of the head of the taiwan executive yuan a while ago, and now he is intervening in the party group of taiwan's public opinion institution. "does he regard himself as the supreme whip?"

huang kuo-chang, the leader of the people's party caucus, a taiwan public opinion organization, said that the problem with the general budget is that it was compiled in violation of the law. he stressed that the dpp authorities should have re-compiled it according to the law, but lai ching-te did not think about solving the problem and insisted on asking dpp legislators to blindly support the illegal budget of the taiwan executive yuan, once again highlighting his dictatorial and reckless "authoritarian" character.

on the other hand, luo tingwei, a kmt citizen representative in taichung, abstained from voting in the "procedural committee" on the 24th, causing an uproar in the blue camp. luo tingwei realized the seriousness of the situation, and after the kmt caucus cadres provided advice, he publicly bowed and apologized to the blue camp and supporters yesterday morning. luo tingwei emphasized that there will definitely not be a next time, and in the future he will work hard to supervise the ruling party, stick to his post, defend the rights of the people, and will face all bullying from the green camp head-on, and be a brave kmt citizen representative.

public opinion on the island pointed out that after the confrontation between the ruling and opposition parties over the "bill" for the reform of the public opinion institutions in the last session, the offensive and defensive will only be more intense in this session. although the blue-white cooperation has the upper hand at present, lai ching-te has ordered the dpp legislators to attend meetings "fully", and he will definitely do his best to defend the ruling party's home advantage. if the opposition party has any loopholes, it may be defeated.

previously, the "bluebirds" gathered around taiwan's public opinion institutions and threatened to launch a "mass recall" next year, which did put pressure on many new blue camp legislators. but luo tingwei retreated at the critical moment of the battle between the blue and green camps, so it is no wonder that the blue camp was indignant and the white camp could not stand it. although luo tingwei's "inconsiderateness" at the moment has not yet affected the overall cooperation between the blue and white camps, luo's "temporary weakness" has allowed the green camp to find a breakthrough, which is worthy of the blue and white camps' vigilance.

public opinion on the island emphasizes that the ruling democratic progressive party will never show weakness to the blue-white coalition. however, it is natural for the opposition to cooperate and supervise the ruling party. moreover, after lai qingde took office, he has always been tough on the opposition, ignoring the reality that the ruling party is small and the opposition party is big, and regards the resolutions of taiwan's public opinion institutions as nothing. if the opposition representatives cannot show their iron will, they will be easily defeated one by one by the green camp.(lin jingxian, strait herald reporter in taiwan)
