The government will seek a constitutional interpretation and other measures to annul the cross-strait peace advancement bill should it be passed into law, Mainland Affairs Council (MAC) Vice Chairman You Ying-lung (游盈隆) said yesterday.
The bill failed to move forward last Friday due to scuffles between pan-green and pan-blue lawmakers over the draft national communications commission bill. The pan-blue camp, with the People First Party (PFP) taking a leading role, plans to use its numerical advantage to try and steamroll the bill through the legislature next Tuesday.
The MAC yesterday warned the pan-blue camp against passing the bill, saying that it merely supports China’s “Anti-Secession” Law, which authorizes China to use “non-peaceful means” if Taiwan “moves toward independence.”
