Wang Xinghuan, chairman of Taiwan's Foundation Progressive Party, pointed out that Taiwan's democracy has regressed in international comparisons in recent years, but the root cause is that the Blue and White parties used the majority in Congress to amend the Constitutional Procedural Law, boycott independent institutions, and pass controversial budgets, paralyzing the Constitutional Court. Legislative President Han Guoyu, as the gatekeeper of Congress, did not reflect on his own responsibilities and only accused others of undermining democracy at the National Day ceremony.

Kuomintang Tainan mayoral candidate Hsieh Long-chie criticized the current government when attending the flag-raising ceremony in Kaohsiung, saying that he would pass a special regulation on the third reading of the Legislative Yuan to issue a universal tax rebate of NT$20,000. If the Executive Yuan does not counter-sign, he called on voters to use their votes to deal with it.

Legislative Yuan Hanguo-yu criticized President Lai Qingde and Executive Director Zhuo Rongtai in his speech at the National Day Convention, and called last year's general recall a "political hunt." Legislator Wu Siyao quoted Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's response to Zhao Shaokang in the "Shaokang War Room" program, suggesting that Hanguo-yu watch the program to gain different inspirations, and questioned the compatibility between his remarks and his identity.

83-year-old Jiang Huangnu, nicknamed "Grandma of the Forest," decided to run for Kaohsiung's parliament because hundreds of hectares of green forest land in the Qiaotou Sugar Factory might be converted into residential and commercial land, making her the city's oldest candidate. On National Day, which is also her birthday, she went north to the Presidential Palace to ask Lai Qingde for help, hoping to designate the land as a state-owned forest. Members of groups such as the Green Consumer Foundation, Forest City Association and Garden for the Earth Project also supported its actions and criticized government development plans that destroy nature and the interests of future generations.

In his speech at the National Day Ceremony, Legislative President Han Kuo-yu criticized the Executive Yuan for not countersigning the law passed on the third reading by the Legislative Yuan, calling it a negative teaching material for studying the Constitution. Before leaving the venue, Executive President Zhuo Yongtai responded to the media and said, "This is a National Day ceremony, and everyone is happy."

Legislative President Han Kuo-yu delivered an unscripted speech at the National Day Convention, criticizing President Lai Ching-te for being a political mystique and Executive President Toh Wing-tai for not signing the bill, and citing Chen Shui-bian's views on compromise and progress in political conflicts. Lawyer Lin Zhiqun questioned whether he was drunk and pointed out that the democratic rift between the Supervisory Yuan and the Constitutional Court was paralyzed by Blue and White.
