The Executive Yuan has allocated 235.7 billion yuan in the central government's total budget for next year, and plans to provide universal universal cash payment of 10,000 yuan next year. The relevant budget is still to be reviewed by the Legislative Yuan, but the Kuomintang Legislative Yuan caucus called for a universal cash payment of 20,000 yuan, triggering discussion. In this regard, lawyer Huang Diying criticized this move as "defrauding the people." He said last year that the Constitution clearly stipulates that the Legislative Yuan is not allowed to increase the budget. "Fu Kunqi has trampled on the Constitution and acted lawlessly. He is worthy of being the only president in the world with three major criminal records!"
During the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, Fu Kunqi said that the priority bill of the party group in the new session is to promote a universal cash payment of 20,000 yuan. Today (29th), he said in an interview that the tax over-collection this year is expected to exceed 1 trillion yuan, and 20,000 yuan can be distributed universally. Next year will be the year when the country’s tax over-collection will explode. It is estimated that the universal cash payment may not be less than 20,000 yuan next year.
In response to this, Huang Diying posted on Facebook in the afternoon, "Kuomintang League Chief Fu Kunqi said today that next year's universal cash payment should not be less than 20,000 yuan, but did not explain the financial resources and actuarial process. It is simply a liar to defraud the people. Article 70 of the Constitution stipulates that "the Legislative Yuan has control over the Executive Yuan" "The budget proposal must not be a proposal to increase expenditures." Fu Kunqi falsely claimed that the Legislative Council could make a promise of 20,000 yuan when it was legally impossible. Fu Kunqi violated the constitution and was lawless. He is worthy of being the only chief minister in the world with three major criminal records!
