President Tsai’s military pension reforms continue to face resistance from retired soldiers whose protests last week escalated into violence. The Legislative Yuan today heard special reports from both the Ministry of National Defense and Veterans Affairs Council in which Defense Minister Yen Teh-fa advised that 90% of active military gave their support to the reforms in a survey.

But Veteran Affairs Council Minister Chiu Kuo-cheng gave no substantial answer about approval levels among veterans. Apparently reluctant to endorse the reforms, he said that even one person’s displeasure with the policy must be dealt with.    [SOURCE]
