By Sean Lin / Staff reporterThe Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) caucus’ version of an anti-infiltration bill yesterday advanced to a second reading and discussion in additional cross-caucus negotiations. Prior to yesterday’s legislative meeting, DPP caucus members were guarding the speaker’s podium to ensure that the caucus filed motions first. The caucus sponsored a motion to advance the bill to a second reading, which was not met with any objections, as no Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) legislators were present. The bill advanced to a second reading without any objection, pending further deliberation during cross-caucus negotiations, which are to be arranged by the DPP caucus, Legislative Speaker Su Jia-chyuan (蘇嘉全) said. The KMT caucus would demand that its bill be reviewed side-by-side with the DPP’s during cross-caucus negotiations, KMT caucus whip William Tseng (曾銘宗) said.
