Critics blast KMT referendum proposals on death penalty and martial law｜Taiwan News

Critics are blasting the KMT for two referendum proposals that the party put forward on Friday. The first proposal is asking for a vote against the abolition of the death penalty. The second calls for a vote to end “martial law” in Taiwan and is a reaction to President Lai Ching-te’s recent proposal to reinstate military trials. Critics say that neither of the referendums makes sense, as the death penalty is still legal in Taiwan, and the country is not under martial law. DPP lawmakers rush back to cast their vote, to oppose two referendums proposed by the KMT. The first referendum aims to stop the abolition of the death penalty in Taiwan. The second aims to stop what the KMT claims is a trend toward martial law led by the DPP government. Wu Tsung-hsien Lawmaker (KMT) The death penalty has essentially been declared unconstitutional by the Constitutional Court. The court overstepped its authority, and weaponized unanimous consent to prevent individual judges from independently making rulings on the matter in the future. Lai Jui-lung Lawmaker (DPP) There is no such problem as the abolition of the death penalty in Taiwan. The death penalty is still being executed, it’s a fake issue. It’s a fabrication created by the KMT to influence the people’s right to recalls. The KMT claims it is trying to protect Taiwan’s democracy. But critics say, the party is trying to draw attention away from the many recalls initiated against KMT politicians. Premier Cho Jung-tai says neither of the issues brought up in the referendum proposals currently affect Taiwanese society. Cho Jung-tai Premier Neither of these two issues are a thing. I’ve said it before. Do the proponents of the referendums think Taiwan is under martial law now? Lee Chin-yung Central Election Commission The government doesn’t have policies. Proposing a referendum asking the government to stop doing something it is not doing doesn’t make sense. Even if the referendum passes, it wouldn’t have any effect under Article 30 of the Referendum Act. Critics say the proposals are trying to create solutions for problems that don’t exist, and election officials say that even if they pass, they won’t have any effect. Still, the KMT is making a big fuss over its proposals. For more Taiwan news, tune in: Sun to Fri at 9:30 pm on Channel 152 Tue to Sat at 1 am on Channel 53 #台灣新聞 #TaiwanNews #民視新聞 #FTV新聞 #Taiwan
