The DPP caucus held a press conference to respond to public opinion this morning. Zhuang Ruixiong said bluntly, "This time the consent power of the Supervisory Committee looks like it will be a massacre. When I see the atmosphere, it should be a massacre." However, he also said that the DPP has advocated the separation of powers from beginning to end and supports amending the constitution to abolish the Supervisory Yuan. However, before abolishing the constitutional organs, it must continue to operate.
Zhuang Ruixiong pointed out that major national decisions are not made by one political party, nor by the Democratic Progressive Party. If other political parties feel dissatisfied, they can express their opinions and seek other methods. However, if they continue to use the method of mass killing and leave the powers of the constitutional organs hanging over there, we can think about whether it is a blessing to the people.
