be placed on people at the lower spectrum of society and more care should be shown to the disadvantaged and young people, a lawmaker said Sunday.

Tsai is touring the country to take stock of public opinion after her party suffered a major defeat in Taiwan’s elections for local government posts on Nov. 24, seeing the number of the 22 cities and counties it controls in Taiwan dwindle from 13 to six.
She stepped down as DPP chairperson soon after the results were known.
