Su backs Chen on scrapping the NUC

`SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY' The plain-talking premier made it clear to the opposition that he would fall in line with the president's cross-strait and domestic policies

By Jimmy Chuang  /  STAFF REPORTER WITH CNA , TAIPEI

Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Lee Chun-yee (李俊毅) asked Su whether the president had allowed him to decide who to designate as his Cabinet members. Su said that the president simply asked him to "do his best for all to see."

"According to the Constitution, the authority to designate ministers responsible for foreign affairs, cross-strait relations and national defense belongs to the president. But he fully respected my opinions and my authority as well," Su said.

The premier told Lee that he would follow his own principle of "doing more and talking less."

"I am here to serve the people," he said.
