In the wake of the Ma administration’s misconduct regarding CSSTA, a bill to monitor future negotiation over cross-straight matters is proposed in a petition initiated by Taiwan Democracy Watch and Democratic Front Against CSSTA. With over a hundred sponsors of law academicians, the draft proposed procedures in specific details to bring transparency over the process that is not available from regulations currently available and therefore considered had introduced enormous distrust to the administration and spurred protest.
However, the aggressive action taken by students to occupy the Parliament is also an reaction to the lack of means for remedy, a scenario that is left out by covered by the draft. When the KMT MP completed the bill’s legislative procedure as the committee chair within 30 seconds, while his colleagues were engaging a full member confrontation, the choice to simply take back the house appears “inevitable”, said Prof. Show-ling Jeng earlier today in a statement, responding to the claim made by President Ma to the international press corps that the KMT MP’s 30-second sneak attack was a direct result to the unlawful rally at the Parliament. Jeng is a professor at Department of Economics from National Taiwan University.
