lashed out at the Kuomintang (KMT) for trying to block her reforms, comparing the main opposition party to someone who dropped trash on the ground and then complained that the cleaners were working too slowly.
Tsai was speaking to reporters after a visit to a computer gaming event in Kaohsiung.
The president, who also chairs the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), said that her administration had been working hard to push through reforms, but that the opposition, despite claiming to want reforms as well, had been boycotting many of her policies.
“The people who produce trash or drop it (on the ground), are really not qualified to complain about the people picking up the trash too slowly,” the Central News Agency quoted Tsai as saying.
Taking the example of pension reform, she said that when the KMT was in power, it talked about reforms but never brought them about, while her government really did complete true reforms. [FULL STORY]
