Taiwan Launches Final Protest to Oust A-bian

Legislators from Taiwan's opposition People First Party waves flags during a rally march, demanding Chen Shui-bian to step down, in Taipei June 24, 2006. According to a survey of over 800 adults by the Chinese-language daily China Times, about 40 percent supported an opposition-backed recall measure in parliament to unseat Chen.

Opposition politicians have waged a fierce campaign in recent weeks to oust Chen over scandals involving members of his family and former aides, launching the recall motion last week. The sign reads, "Life and death pale in comparison over the price of truth, just as the views of differing political parties will not compromise on right and wrong".

According to a survey of over 800 adults by the Chinese-language daily China Times, about 40 percent supported an opposition-backed recall measure in parliament to unseat Chen. 'Parliament' is set to vote on the recall motion on Tuesday although it is not expected to pass because the opposition camp lacks the two-thirds support needed to push it through.
