One Year On: Politics - Chen looks to new alliances to break year-long stalemate

Sources close to Lee said that since President Chen has decided to lead the reorganization of the political circle, he will actively take the initiative to establish a foundation of mutual trust with allies as soon as possible.

"Lee will continue showing his concern over the situation and lending his hand behind the scenes. It is hoped that a stable majority structure can be created after the year-end elections, helping the government implement its policies," the sources said.
