Taiwan legislature erupts in violence over ‘secret expenses’ bill
Al JazeeraKMT lawmakers try to block bill they say could be used to overturn ex-President Chen Shui-bian’s corruption conviction. Taipei, Taiwan – Taiwan’s parliament erupted in violence on Monday as lawmakers clashed over a bill that critics say could be used to overturn former President Chen Shui-bian’s conviction on corruption charges. KMT legislators say that President Tsai Ing-wen has taken advantage of Taiwan’s recent COVID-19 outbreak to pass the legislation decriminalising the use of “secret state expenses” by the executive. They say the bill could be used retroactively to exonerate Chen, Taiwan’s first president from Tsai’s independence-leaning DPP, who was implicated in a corruption scandal in 2008 and found guilty of misusing funds.
