President Tsai Ing-wen (蔡英文) is today to order the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to campaign against four referendums to be held on Aug. 28, DPP spokeswoman Yen Juo-fang (顏若芳) said yesterday.
The four referendums are initiatives to restart construction at the mothballed Fourth Nuclear Power Plant; ban pork imports that contain ractopamine; relocate a planned liquefied natural gas terminal; and hold referendums and elections concurrently.
Reiterating a Facebook post made by Tsai earlier in the day, Yan said that the position of the president, who is also party chairperson, is: “Four nays make Taiwan stronger.”
