On Tuesday, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) lawmakers attempted to slow down the legislative process in Taiwan’s parliament. This move was met with a response from the ruling party and the Kuomintang (KMT), who also waved posters with slogans, creating a vibrant atmosphere in the ordinarily formal legislature. Hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the parliament to protest against reform bills proposed by opposition parties. Meanwhile, lawmakers from the ruling party employed a filibuster tactic to prevent the passage of the bills inside the legislature. This event took place on 05/21/2024 at the following location: Taipei, Taiwan.
