Several political parties were also represented at the march, including the New Power Party, the New Party and the Taiwan People’s Party.
At about noon, demonstrators gathered outside the Environmental Protection Administration building, where the vice presidential candidates of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) spoke to them before the march began.
