Constitutional reform ‘almost impossible,’ TSU says

Saturday, 11 June 2016 07:37 Taipei Times

While the New Power Party (NPP) caucus had proposed constitutional amendments, the Taiwan Solidarity Union (TSU) yesterday said that constitutional reform is a “false issue” because amending the Constitution has been made almost impossible, and only establishing a new constitution altogether would help Taiwan.

“Constitutional amendment is a false issue, because amendments passed in 2005 made it almost impossible to amend the Constitution,” TSU spokeswoman Chou Ni-an (周倪安) told a news conference in Taipei yesterday.

Taiwan is to join other democracies in helping Ukraine recover from the Russian invasion, and share its experience with countering authoritarian threats with the world, President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) late on Wednesday told the “Struggle for Freedom” forum in Dallas, Texas, hosted by the George W. Bush Presidential Center.

“For Taiwan, democracy is more than a fundamental value that unites our people; it is also a critical asset in addressing major challenges. Taiwan is now in the position to share its experience with the world and create alliances, allowing democracies to more effectively deal with crises and counter the threats of authoritarianism,” Tsai said via videoconference.
