Opposition vows ‘10-year’ ECFA fight

Saturday, 05 June 2010 08:28 Taipei Times

Opposition parties yesterday vowed to begin a “10-year resistance” against the government’s plan to sign an economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) with China, including organizing large-scale protests calling for a referendum on the controversial pact.

The Executive Yuan’s Referendum Review Committee on Thursday night voted 12-4 against an opposition-supported referendum proposal asking voters whether they agreed that the government should sign an ECFA with China. The committee said the question did not fall under what was allowed under the Referendum Act (公民投票法).

The TSU's application requested a referendum on the question: “Do you agree that the government should sign an ECFA with China?”
