Legislative Yuan's Review of Budget Proposal Shows Increased Cooperation Amid Reduced Kuomintang Motion Submissions.

The Legislative Yuan recently reviewed the 115th annual budget bill, with Kuomintang (KMT) caucus leader Fu Li-xi expressing her gratitude for the cooperation from the People First Party (PFP) caucus. She stated that the number of proposals submitted by the opposition parties has significantly decreased to 75, which she believes is a vote of confidence and support for the Legislature's work. According to the Legislature's work procedures, each caucus typically submits a large number of proposals during the budget review to conduct a detailed and thorough review and revision of the budget bill. However, excessive proposals often lead to prolonged review processes, which may even delay the passage of the budget bill.

Fu Li-xi's statement reflects the efforts and concessions made by the opposition caucuses in this budget review. As the largest opposition party, the KMT has long served as an important check and balance on the Executive Yuan and the Presidential Office. During the budget review, the KMT caucus usually submits a large number of proposals to scrutinize and question the Executive Yuan's governance plans. However, this time around, the KMT caucus has significantly reduced the number of proposals, demonstrating their cooperation and concessions in the budget review. This development is undoubtedly a welcome sign for the Executive Yuan and the Presidential Office, as it implies a smoother passage of the budget bill.

In the legislative meeting, Fu Li-xi also urged Executive Yuan Premier Tsai Ying-wen not to trample on the Legislature's dignity. This stance reflects the long-standing tension between the Legislature and the Executive Yuan. According to the Constitution, the Legislature is the highest lawmaking body, responsible for reviewing and passing the nation's budget bill. However, the Executive Yuan and the Presidential Office have long sought to exert influence over the Legislature, and in some cases, have even intervened directly in the Legislature's work. This has led to the Legislature's dissatisfaction and opposition. Fu Li-xi's statement reflects the Legislature's discontent and warning, hoping that the Executive Yuan and the Presidential Office will respect the Legislature's authority and dignity.

Additionally, Fu Li-xi also urged President Lai Qian-de to cherish the goodwill of Legislator Han Kuo-yu. This statement reflects the special relationship between the President and the Legislator. Han Kuo-yu, as the Speaker of the Legislature, has long been a key partner and supporter of the Presidential Office. During the budget review, Han Kuo-yu's stance and attitude have had a significant impact on the passage of the budget bill. Fu Li-xi's statement reflects the Legislature's goodwill and cooperation, hoping that the Presidential Office will appreciate and respond to the Legislature's efforts.

Throughout the budget review process, all caucuses and Legislature staff have made significant efforts and sacrifices. The budget review is a complex and meticulous task that requires close cooperation and coordination between caucuses and Legislature staff. In this budget review, the KMT caucus and the PFP caucus's cooperation and concessions have undoubtedly demonstrated their support and confidence in the Legislature's work. At the same time, the Executive Yuan and the Presidential Office also need to respect and value the Legislature's authority and dignity. Only through the cooperation and efforts of all parties can the budget bill be passed smoothly and the nation's development be ensured.

The budget review is an important task for the Legislature, which has significant implications for the nation's development and the people's livelihood. In this budget review, the caucuses and Legislature staff's efforts and cooperation have laid a solid foundation for the smooth passage of the budget bill and the nation's good development. As the budget review is nearing completion, the Executive Yuan and the Presidential Office need to give due consideration to the budget bill's content and the Legislature's opinions. Meanwhile, the Legislature also needs to continue monitoring and questioning the Executive Yuan and the Presidential Office's work, ensuring that the nation's development and the people's rights and interests are fully protected.
