Opposition lawmakers have slammed President Lai Ching-te after after he refused to to appear at an impeachment motion hearing.
The impeachment proceedings were initiated against Lai last month after he failed to enact a bill passed in the Legislative Yuan that would increase the share of tax revenue allocated to local governments.
The first impeachment hearing took place yesterday.
The K-M-T and the Taiwan People's Party had invited Lai to attend to allow his to explain his position at the Legislature and respond to lawmakers' questions.
Lai declined to attend in a letter to Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu.
