Lai Ching-te emphasized the necessity for the Legislative Yuan to adhere to procedural rules during meetings, a fundamental aspect of maintaining democratic politics. In his interview, he responded for the first time to KMT Chairman Chu Li-lun's call for a '520 comprehensive recall' action against him, asserting that he must respect the constitutional powers held by legislators. Lai indicated that the multitude of conflicts in the legislature over the past year has been exacerbated by the actions of opposition parties, particularly regarding the controversy surrounding the 'Legislative Yuan Powers Act', which the Constitutional Court has ruled unconstitutional.

He noted that the executive branch's repeated proposals for review are rooted in dissatisfaction with the legislature's conduct, and that the opposition's past actions have infringed upon the powers of the presidency and executive authority, undermining democratic principles. Lai called for a collective understanding among both sides of the aisle to support legal processes and investigations, reinforcing that this is crucial for the integrity of the democratic system.
