To voice their objections to the pan-green camp's revisions to the Referendum Act, pan-blue legislators scheduled a meeting with Central Election Commission Chair Lee Chin-yung. Lee was a no-show and the group was instead received by Lee's deputy Chen Chao-chien. The angry lawmakers said Lee promised to meet them and gave the excuse of having a sore throat. The group then gathered outside Lee's office and called for his resignation.
Led by Kuomintang caucus leader Tseng Ming-chung, lawmakers call for the resignation of Central Election Commission Chair Lee Chin-yung. Prior to the passage of revisions to the Referendum Act, Lee said general elections and public referendums should not be held together. The KMT caucus then scheduled a meeting with Lee at the commission. However, Lee pulled a no-show and sent his deputy, Chen Chao-chien, to meet with the group.
He promised an official meeting with us. When we got here, he had locked himself in his office. He was hiding in his office all scared. What kind of commission chair is this?
No Central Election Commission Chair has ever publicly called for the separation of general elections and public referendums right after entering office. This is the direct result of the Democratic Progressive Party's massive loss in last year's nine-in-one elections.
The group protested Lee's no-show by gathering outside his office and calling for his resignation. They were eventually removed from the building by police and commission staff. The commission says Lee was out of the office and there was nothing wrong with sending his deputy to meet with the group.
(Lee) was out of the office, so I received (the group) today. This is in compliance with how government agencies operate.
Pan-blue lawmakers say Lee can't hide from them forever and they will block the revisions during the extraordinary session. In response, the commission said it respects legislative procedures and the amendment process.
大聲喊著口號,要中選會新任主委李進勇下台,不滿李進勇在公投法修正案通過前,就表明要讓大選和公投脫鉤,國民黨團總召曾銘宗,率領多名黨籍立委,到中選會拜訪主委李進勇。不過,原本答應會面的李進勇,改派副主委陳朝建出面接待,引來藍委的不滿。
國民黨團總召 曾銘宗表示:「他也答應要正式接待我們,但是我們來,竟然鎖在裡面,躲在裡面,不敢面對,這是什麼樣的主委。」
國民黨立委 童惠珍表示:「沒有一個中選會主委,剛剛上台,就公然的發言說要,總統大選跟公投脫鉤,這種事情,就是因為民進黨去年的九合一大選大敗。」
藍委踢館不成,在主委辦公室前,大喊口號抗議,最後在中選會人員,以及警力勸阻下,才結束行動。而中選會強調,主委有事外出,由副主委出面接待,合乎規定。
中選會副主委 陳朝建表示:「主委外出了,那今天是由我來接待,那這個也符合我們一般機關的一個做法。」
不過,藍委強調,未來還會以突擊方式,來拜訪李進勇,立院臨時會時,也會強力杯葛公投法的修法。中選會則強調,尊重立院議事的進行,以及修法進度。
