By Sean Lin / Staff reporterThe first round of cross-caucus negotiations on an anti-infiltration bill yesterday yielded few results after lawmakers failed to agree on the wording of a draft article. Despite the Legislative Yuan being in recess, Legislative Speaker Su Jia-chyuan (蘇嘉全) called for the talks ahead of a final review scheduled for Tuesday next week. The DPP caucus then proposed altering Article 2, which includes groups, organizations and agencies “supervised by” the government, affiliated organizations or any intermediary of an external hostile force. The lawmakers resolved to also defer all motions related to the article for further deliberation on Tuesday. Following more than three hours of discussion, the four caucuses only managed to discuss two of the 12 articles of the bill and only agreed on the legislation’s title: the anti-infiltration act.
