Taiwan

The D-P-P has deleted a social media post claiming that Taiwan's legislature
faces a similar situation to that which prompted South Korean President Yoon
Suk Yeol to declare martial law.

The post read: "The South Korean parliament has been manipulated by North
Korean forces" and "South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol announced emergency
martial law nationwide to protect the free constitutional system."

The post also suggested that opposition parties in the Legislative Yuan had
repeatedly obstructed national security proposals, "unconstitutionally
expanded" their powers, and cut the defense budget.

It was posted by an account run by the party's legislative caucus on Threads.

However, it was deleted within 20 minutes after it was made, and a statement
criticizing martial law was posted in its place.

The K-M-T has slammed the post and is calling on President Lai Ching-te to
apologize, while the Taiwan People's Party has also criticized the
quickly-deleted D-P-P post - saying that "today's DPP has a martial law
mentality hidden in its heart."
