LIVE: All-out Brawl in Taiwan Parliament, Lawmakers Grapple, Exchange Blows|Taiwan Parliament Fight

A heated clash erupted in Taiwan's legislature on Friday as lawmakers from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the Nationalist Party (KMT) engaged in a physical tussle over three contentious bills. The conflict began when DPP members occupied the speaker's chair overnight, prompting KMT members to storm the chamber in retaliation. The bills, spearheaded by the KMT, include measures that critics argue could paralyse the Constitutional Court, complicate the public recall process for elected officials, and redistribute tax revenues to favour local governments. Thousands of protesters gathered outside the parliament, calling on lawmakers to reject the amendments. The confrontation, which involved shoving and barricades of chairs, left some lawmakers injured. President Lai Ching-te, of the DPP, has yet to comment on the escalating tensions. Notably, Taiwan’s legislature has a history of dramatic brawls, including a 2020 incident involving pig guts. Watch the broadcast to know more.
