Standing firm on the legislature's decision, Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng (王金平), said that the executive branch risks violating the law if it turns a blind eye to the resolutions, the passage of which serve as the law.
Commenting on the political stalemate, Wu called on the two branches to conduct sounder negotiations to hammer out a final solution.
"No matter what the government plans to do, we'd hate to see a political crisis," he said. "Negotiations and compromise are important in a democracy because that's what politics is all about."
