Will the Executive Yuan Refuse to Co-Sign the Blue-White 'Future Account'? Huang Kuo-chang: Even Authoritarianism Shouldn't Use Children for Political Struggle

The Legislative Yuan passed the 'Taiwan Children and Youth Growth and Future Account Act' in its third reading, but the Executive Yuan stated it would take appropriate measures under the Constitution, reportedly considering not co-signing the bill. In response, Taiwan People's Party Chair Huang Kuo-chang questioned whether the DPP and President Lai Qingde's authoritarianism is sacrificing children, asking who will be sacrificed next. Huang stated that the Legislative Yuan had formally sent the third-reading bill to the Executive Yuan and Presidential Office, requesting presidential promulgation. The Executive Yuan, 'as expected,' claimed the legislature had overstepped constitutional boundaries and announced it would 'take appropriate measures'—in plain terms, the DPP intends to violate constitutional order. Since President Lai is displeased, he refuses to promulgate the law and block the implementation of the Taiwan Future Account system. Huang criticized Lai's arbitrary actions as not only trampling Taiwan's democratic constitutionalism but also directly depriving children of their rights. The institutional benefits granted by the legislature—NT$60,000 annual growth allowance for children and a 'first pot of gold' at age 18—could vanish due to Lai's obstinacy. Instead, Lai is imitating others without legal authorization, deciding unilaterally who gets money, rejecting legislative oversight, and offering no institutional safeguards for children. Huang emphasized that the root cause is Lai's belief that only he has the right to distribute funds. Even if opposition parties legally pass beneficial policies through the legislature, if 'Emperor Lai' says no, it's over. This time, children are the victims of the DPP and Lai's authoritarianism. Who will be next?
