Chang should have known that having family members who were victims of the 228 Incident is taboo with the KMT, Lai said, adding that KMT legislators hounded Chang because they could not accept his family background, a clear indication of the party’s ideology.
Lai said he believed Chang was a victim of a power struggle within the KMT.
Before the presidential election this March, KMT members had already come to an agreement on how power was to be shared and would not tolerate an outsider taking away some of that power, Lai said.
He said the KMT was in politics to pursue power rather than for ideological reasons.
The legislature will start its summer recess on July 18.
