Protesting students await responses to trade pact demands (2014/03/20)
As students continue to occupy the Legislature over the trade-in-services pact Taiwan signed with China, they are waiting for the president and legislative speaker to respond to demands. These include a line-by-line review of the pact, which the ruling KMT had promised then reneged on, and direct dialogue with President Ma Ying-jeou.
After two nights spent in the Legislature protesting the cross-strait trade-in-services pact, these students are determined to continue the protest, despite physical and mental stress.
Protester
Whenever friends or anyone else sends text messages or calls to tell you where the police could make arrests, you shouldn’t give a response. Just say thank you, says this protester.
The students are resolute on continuing their protest. They again asked that the legislative speaker respond to three demands, one of which is to reprimand Legislator Chang Ching-chung, the lawmaker who bypassed committee review to send the trade pact directly to the plenary session.
Chen Wei-ting
Protestor
Wang Jin-pyng, you need to tell us how you plan to deal with Chang Ching-chung before 12 pm tomorrow, says this protester. You need to respond to our two other demands. The first is to have the trade pact sent back to committee and the second is to pass the supervision guidelines governing trade pacts with China during this legislature term.
Other demands include a meeting with the president.
Lin Fei-fang
Protestor
We now officially demand to meet with President Ma for direct dialogue, says this protestor. We ask President Ma to respond to the requests made by students in the Legislature before 12 o’clock tomorrow.
The students say if they don’t receive positive responses, they will announce plans for additional action.
