Opposition votes down special session

In response, KMT caucus whip Tsai Chin-lung (蔡錦隆) said that the DPP caucus' request did not make sense, because the parties had to follow due legislative process to make laws.

Tsai called on the DPP caucus to discuss the issue at cross-party talks instead of using the media to convey its message.

He said that the KMT caucus had indeed agreed to call the proposed session.

But, he said, this agreement was based on a condition that the eight-year, NT$80 billion flood-control plan would be the only issue discussed.
