Protests against abolition of Red Cross Society Act / 綠委要廢紅十字會法 王清峰率志工抗議

The Taiwan Red Cross Society protested at the Legislative Yuan. They were against the abolition of the Red Cross Society Act. President of the Taiwan Red Cross Wang Ching-feng said if the Legislative Yuan passes the abolition of the act, she will take legal actions. However, DPP and NPP legislators insisted that the special law should be abrogated, and the proposition will be sent for review as soon as Friday. End the stigma, against law abolition. Hundreds of volunteers from the Red Cross Society of the Republic of China protested at the Legislative Yuan. They were against the abolition of the Red Cross Society Act of the Republic of China. They emphasized that the Taiwan Red Cross Society is not a privileged group and the Legislative Yuan should remove political considerations. The act should be revised, but should never be abrogated. ==WANG CHING-FENG, Pres., Red Cross Society, R.O.C.== The Red Cross Society was ratified over 62 years ago in Taiwan. We understand that some articles are outdated, and the problem can be resolved by revision. The act reflects the value of humanitarian and world civilization. The Legislative Yuan can't arbitrarily abrogate it. President of the Taiwan Red Cross, Wang Ching-feng said she will resign as soon as the revision of the act is completed. However, if the Legislative Yuan passes the abolition of the act, she will seek constitutional interpretation and relief for provisional disposition. DPP and NPP legislators insisted that the special law should be abrogated, and the Taiwan Red Cross be supervised by the public. ==LI CHUN-I, DPP legislator== All civil organizations should follow the Charity Donations Act if there is an act of fundraising. How could the Taiwan Red Cross be excluded from this? We hope all civil organizations follow the same rules. There can't be two different criteria in Taiwan. The DPP and NPP legislators will not change their decisions. The abolition of the special law has been put on the agenda. At the soonest, the proposition will be sent for review on July 8.
