Taiwanese lawmakers from DPP and KMT brawled over reform proposals before President-elect Lai's inauguration.
Taiwanese lawmakers brawled in parliament over reform proposals, just days before President-elect Lai Ching-te's inauguration without a legislative majority. The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the Kuomintang (KMT) exchanged blows and shoved each other, with the DPP arguing that the KMT was trying to force through proposals without proper consultation. The KMT, with more seats than the DPP, is working with the smaller Taiwan People's Party to push for greater parliament scrutiny of the government and a proposal to criminalize false statements by officials.
