Lai Ching-te accused the Legislative Yuan of blocking the budget and the "National Pension". The People's Party will arrange plans for this chamber: We are also in a hurry!

When President Lai Ching-te went to Nantou to support the election, he said that the "National Pension Law" should be increased long ago, but he named the Legislative Yuan to postpone the budget review, so the people still cannot receive the increased pension. In response, the People's Party caucus today criticized the president for taking the lead in spreading "national disinformation", pointing out that the draft has only been sent to the committee and has not yet been read for the third time. It also pointed out that the government has repeatedly expressed opinions on the provisions, which is the killer of card annuities. It emphasized that the caucus has ranked it as the first case in the hospital today, and they are "also very 'urgent'."

The People's Party's Legislative Yuan Caucus held a press conference today (6th) "National Pension Needs to be Raised, DPP Don't Delay!". The caucus's chief convener Chen Qinglong, deputy chief convener Chen Zhaozi, secretary-general Hong Yuxiang and legislator Qiu Huizhen attended the press conference.

People's Party caucus chief and legislator Chen Qinglong criticized President Lai, who has served as a legislator for four terms, "Why can't he even understand the procedures for amending the law and the budget?" He said that without amending the law, there is no way to pay out the increased national pension. He also pointed out that if the DPP is so anxious, the People's Party caucus will put the "National Pension Law" as the first item on the agenda today, calling on the DPP caucus to stop "pushing three and blocking four" to find excuses to boycott the law. As long as the law is passed, it can be paid immediately.

Qiu Huizhen said that after the Executive Yuan version of the National Pension Law was sent to the Legislative Yuan on January 30 this year, the opposition parties continued to promote review. It was scheduled for review by the Health and Environment Committee twice during the last session. It was only sent to the committee in the middle of last month during this session. It was not Lai who claimed that it was being reviewed. The opposition parties obstructed; they emphasized that the payment of the national pension must have a legal basis, and questioned Lai Qingde for forgetting the "principles of the rule of law." They also pointed out that the Executive Yuan only sent the supplementary budget to the Legislative Yuan in September, questioning the government for confusing the two, saying that Lai was talking "nonsense and nonsense."

Qiu Huijun reiterated that the People's Party will prioritize the National Pension Law and the Gender Equality Work Law in today's House meeting, advocating increasing maternity leave from the current 8 weeks to 14 weeks, doubling the number of miscarriage leave days, and paternity leave for men and paternity leave. The examination leave has been increased from 7 days to 14 days, so that fathers can provide more companionship and support to mothers during the birth process, and improve their ability to take care of themselves. We call on the Democratic Progressive Party to follow up and support the above-mentioned bills quickly, so as not to continue to block the bills that benefit the country and the people.
