KMT slams DPP policy fora as ‘internal propaganda’By Sherry Hsiao / Staff reporterPlans by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to hold a series of nationwide forums on government policies was “internal propaganda” to rally DPP supporters against a referendum on the construction of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal off Taoyuan, Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Culture and Communications Committee director-general Alicia Wang (王育敏) told a news conference in Taipei yesterday. Pan and his alliance yesterday delivered more than 700,000 signatures supporting the referendum proposal to the Central Election Commission. Wang made the remark in response to a statement by Tsai at a DPP meeting on local politics in Taipei. “If President Tsai does not want to unite Taiwan, she should not tear Taiwan apart,” the KMT said. Tsai was only catering to the DPP’s interests, the KMT said, adding that she should stop accusing it of being a “red party” to distract from her policy being challenged in several referendums.
