Скачать или смотреть TAIWAN: NATIONALIST PARTY CALLS FOR TENG-HUI'S RESIGNATION

(20 Mar 2000) Natural Sound

Heated demonstrations continued to gain momentum on Monday outside the Nationalist Party Headquarters in Taipei.

Since the Nationalist Party defeat in Taiwan's Presidential election on Saturday, party members have been massing in front of their party headquarters, calling for the immediate resignation of their leader, Lee Teng-hui.

On Sunday, Lee promised demonstrators he would quit, but he said he would leave in September and not immediately.

That wasn't good enough for some.

They blame him for their party's embarrassing election loss to the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party candidate, Chen Shui-bian.

Chen swept to power in the election, ending more than half a century of Nationalist Party rule.
