RESPECT AND ASSIST: Eric Chu said the KMT would prioritize the two referendums initiated by its lawmakers, dropping all-out support for four referendum questionsBy Shih Hsiao-kuang, Chen Yun and Jake Chung / Staff reporters, with staff writer
The New Power Party (NPP) yesterday urged people to vote “no” on a nuclear power plant referendum and “yes” on three other questions to be considered on Dec. 18.
The four referendums being considered next month call for a ban on imports of pork containing the leanness-enhancing additive ractopamine, relocating a natural gas terminal to protect algal reefs off Taoyuan’s Guanyin District (觀音), holding referendums alongside national elections and activating the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant in New Taipei City’s Gongliao District (貢寮).
NPP Caucus Office Director Lai Chia-lun (賴嘉倫) said that people should know that the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant was built
Taipei, Nov. 1 (CNA) Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Eric Chu (朱立倫) has rallied in support of a referendum seeking to bring the long-mothballed Fourth Nuclear Power Plant back to life, amid concerns from a KMT mayor over the plant's safety.
Taipei, Oct. 31 (CNA) The four referendums slated to take place on Dec. 18 are nothing new, Vice President Lai Ching-te (賴清德) said Sunday, while urging voters to vot "no."
The outcome of December’s referendums would determine the nation’s future, and the public’s interests must not be hijacked by political turmoil created by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leadership said yesterday.
“This referendum vote is a challenge in the fight for Taiwan’s future, including against the deepening of our nation’s democracy and could even reverse our policy to transition to renewable energy,” President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) told a DPP rally urging people to vote “no” on all four referendum questions
