DPP legislative caucus applies for constitutional interpretation
Posted on 2026-01-19 18:20:13
The DPP legislative caucus has filed a legal challenge with the
constitutional court ... seeking to block a bill that would halt planned
pension cuts for government workers through 2029.

The move follows similar challenges by the Cabinet and the Examination Yuan
... and comes just weeks after President Lai Ching-te signed into law
amendments passed by the legislature ...

... amendments that would halt planned reductions of pensions for teachers,
civil servants and military personnel.

DPP caucus leader Ko Jian-ming warns that if the cuts are suspended, the
pension fund could face premature bankruptcy and create what he calls
"intergenerational injustice".

However, the legal challenge faces a major hurdle, as the Constitutional
Court currently has only eight sitting justices—two short of the legal
minimum required to rule on a case.
