The Week reports that the brawl began over the budget. They wrote that “the opposition party, Kuomintang (KMT), violently protest[ed] President Tsai Ing-wen’s plans for approximately $13 billion in infrastructure spending it says is centered on regions loyal to her Democratic Progressive Party.”

“We call for rational discussions […] to resolve our difference,” said The DPP in a statement, who also slammed the KMT’s “violent boycott.”
