The proposed amendments disregard social fairness and justice, and serve only to protect specific individuals and interest groups, it said, adding that it would block the bills. The Legislative Yuan is pictured in Taipei on Friday. “The DPP caucus would continue to emphasize that these bills are designed to protect specific interests,” he said. As for proposed amendments decriminalizing misuse of assistant expense funds, these were clearly intended to relieve KMT Legislator Yen Kuan-heng (顏寬恒) of legal pressure, he said. KMT caucus secretary-general Lo Chih-chiang (羅智強) previously said that the draft amendments for which procedures have been completed remain on his caucus’ agenda and would be discussed at its meetings.
