members of the government’s transitional justice promotional committee, saying the list would be sent to the Legislative Yuan for approval once it is complete.
Premier William Lai (賴清德) on Tuesday confirmed that the committee is to be headed by 74-year-old former Control Yuan member Huang Huang-hsiung (黃煌雄), Executive Yuan spokesman Hsu Kuo-yung (徐國勇) told a press conference in Taipei.
“Huang joined dangwai [黨外, “outside the party”] activities in the early days and is a prominent democracy advocate in Taiwan,” Hsu said. “He is widely recognized in political circles as an impartial individual who shows a strong sense of mission toward Taiwan.”
Huang is one of the few people who, despite adhering to pro-Taiwanese independence views, could be embraced by both the pan-green and pan-blue camps, which makes him an ideal candidate for the chairmanship, Hsu said. [FULL STORY]
