Han Kuo-yu Slams Fu Kun-chi, Highlighting KMT's Dilemma: Media Analyst Questions Party's True Stance

On the afternoon of November 11, the Legislative Yuan began its third round of negotiations on the central government's annual budget. KMT caucus convener Fu Kun-chi once again failed to attend, prompting Legislative Yuan President Han Kuo-yu to express rare public anger. Han launched a sharp verbal attack during the session, even telling Fu to 'resign as convener.'

In response, veteran media commentator Hsieh Han-ping commented on the November 12 episode of the program 'Villager Supervisory Court,' stating that while he wasn't entirely surprised, such behavior was inappropriate. 'Both are members of the same party—expressing disagreement in such a public and confrontational manner is not suitable,' he said.

Hsieh pointed out that Han and Fu represent two opposing views within the KMT. One faction believes that continued delays in passing the budget will harm the party's electoral prospects at year-end and damage public perception, making it difficult to justify their stance to the general public. The other faction argues that negotiations with the DPP are meaningless, as the ruling party promised to include previously blocked bills in the budget but has yet to fulfill that commitment—effectively using budget passage as leverage to deceive the opposition.

Hsieh emphasized the central question: What is the KMT's true position? Should the party resist stubbornly to the end, or compromise for the sake of public image? If the KMT chooses compromise, it must prepare for a future where none of its legislative proposals pass. If it chooses resistance, it must be ready to stake its entire year-end election campaign on that decision.

While acknowledging the difficulty of this choice for the opposition, Hsieh stressed that the KMT must make a swift decision. Regardless of the path chosen, party unity is essential—internal infighting only plays into the hands of the DPP.
