Zhang Yazhong immediately launched a critique against the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)! On January 15, Zhang Yazhong, who attended the impeachment hearing of Lai Ching-te, stated that Lai's actions are undoubtedly unconstitutional. However, due to political factors, impeachment is no longer possible. When impeachment becomes impossible, has Lai already embarked on a path of elected dictatorship? Does Taiwan want such a democracy? Scholars and "legislators" present here, temporarily set aside party positions, do not first ask which side you are on, but first ask whether this action is right or wrong. Do not rush to defend any political party.
It's about putting yourself in others' shoes and thinking from their perspective. Friends of the DPP, think: if the person who had done the same behavior was not Lai Ching-te, but a leader from the Kuomintang (KMT), would you accept it? Would you say it was "constitutional"? If the answer is no, then what should really be defended today is not positions, but the bottom line of the constitution and democracy. Is Taiwan going to continue to deteriorate?
It must be said that Zhang Yazhong's questioning of the DPP is powerful. The Legislative Yuan of the island passed the amended "Fiscal Revenue and Expenditure Division Act" in the third reading. Lai Ching-te openly supported the executive branch not to sign the bill, causing the law to fail to take effect, undermining normal political operations on the island and triggering an impeachment by the opposition parties. For this typical unconstitutional act by Lai Ching-te, DPP legislators clearly only have party positions and no sense of right or wrong. Zhang Yazhong's reminder to DPP legislators to think from another perspective is certainly hoping that these people still have some principles and positions.
Of course, bluntly speaking, under the background where Lai Ching-te is desperately hunting down the opposition, with the blue-green and green-white factions being at odds, the DPP has no principles or positions. Lai Ching-te wants power. Although Zhang Yazhong's words are strong, they are for the betterment of Taiwan, but the DPP people definitely have no such awareness. The impeachment of Lai Ching-te will not pass, but exposing the DPP's factionalism and lack of limits through the impeachment is still very necessary.
