The opposition wants to give parliament greater scrutiny powers over the government, including a controversial proposal to criminalise officials who are deemed to make false statements in parliament. The ruling Democratic Progressive party has accused the opposition of improperly trying to force through the proposals without the customary consultation process in what they call 'an unconstitutional abuse of power'.

When Taiwanese politicians say 'we fight for you' to their constituents they really meant it.

That women on the left at 0:19 tried to hit a guy with a phone and midway realised this is not worth it.

If my country were like this, I would never stop watching the sessions on the congress channel.

Bro took equal rights equal fights a little too seriously 💀💀

Misleading. They weren’t fight for chamber reform but the discussion of the reforms before approval, their rights. The majority went straight to approval before the legislation was finalized, distributed, reviewed, and discussed.

Politicians in our country are either too old too lazy to do this

As a Taiwanese, this is insane to see. People are standing up against violence in congress. Besides, this also happened because the party with more people(KMT) and TPP are trying to pass a law that we don’t even know what it is about! However, this law is trying to oppress our freedom of speech and put people in jail if you are considered “contempt of congress” which includes talking back to the congress man and refusing to go to the congress as a person(not limited to citizens). The penalty and definitions are all unclear and whenever DPP( the party with less people) what to open a stage for debate and exchanging ideas. They end the discussion!!! This is insane and we as Taiwanese have to stand up to this to protect our freedom of speech and democracy!!!!
