Opposition Coalition Blocks Military Spending Bill Again
Posted on 2026-01-23 15:38:13
Opposition lawmakers have blocked a major military spending bill for the
eighth time.

The KMT and TPP, who have majority in the Legislative Yuan, stopped the bill
from moving to a committee for review, as the latest in a series of blocks
that began in December.

Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu called for a vote after political parties
failed to reach an agreement during a meeting this morning.

The Cabinet passed the draft November last year, for the eight-year plan
worth $1.25 trillion NT, to strengthen the nation's defense and asymmetric
combat capabilities.

Opposition parties say they are blocking the measure because they want
military pay raises included in the national budget.
