In reply, Chang reiterated that the Executive Yuan has not made a final decision on the question, but has set up a five-member panel to assess the feasibility of holding a "consultative referendum," even if a referendum law is not passed.
He argued that any decision about whether or not to hold a referendum should come from the executive, and that the legislature should not try to interfere.
The panel should be able to finish its assessment in three months, Chang added.
Also yesterday, the KMT caucus in the legislature decided in a caucus meeting that its members will demand Chang accept political responsibility for the chaos triggered by his mistaken policy, during their upcoming interpellation of Chang.
