Taiwan is holding a mass recall vote targeting 24 legislators from the opposition Kuomintang Party (KMT). These lawmakers are criticized for being pro-Communist and supportive of closer ties with Beijing. The political atmosphere is tense due to increased military pressure from China. The KMT and the Taiwan People Party (TPP), holding a legislative majority, have blocked government initiatives and passed contentious bills. Civic groups have initiated recall campaigns following public protests against these bills, reflecting a desire for a government aligned with Taiwan’s democratic values instead of pro-China interests.
The 24 legislators listed in the upcoming vote are all from Taiwan's main opposition Kuomintang Party (KMT), which advocates closer economic ties with China.
The mass recall is about the people of Taiwan standing up and saying we don't want pro-China forces.
Taiwan has been stepping up its defense capabilities against China's military aggression as Beijing conducts military exercises around the region.
The KMT-TPP coalition has since blocked many of the government's key priorities and passed controversial bills that critics say could undermine Taiwan's democracy.
