Taiwan's opposition Taiwan People's Party voted as a bloc against the Control Yuan nominees, deepening the fight between the legislature and the government watchdog.

• The TPP said the Control Yuan has failed at its core job: of 82,000 citizen complaints filed last year, only about 1,300 were actually handled.
• Its budget jumped from NT$2.2 billion to NT$2.9 billion even as complaint handling stayed slow.
• The second charge is favoritism toward the powerful — failed impeachments and dropped probes involving ruling-party figures, including a baseball stadium case paused after four years of investigation.
• The third is petty misconduct by watchdog members themselves, such as using official cars for pet grooming and dental visits, punished only with apologies.
• The TPP restated its position that the Control Yuan should be abolished outright; the KMT caucus piled on, accusing the government of ignoring scandals and using state machinery against the opposition.

Outlook: With both opposition caucuses holding a legislative majority, the nominees are likely to be rejected, prolonging the standoff over the Control Yuan's future.
