Βουλή στην Ταϊβάν

TAIPEI, Taiwan — He looked like a crowd-surfer at a punk rock show.

Clad in a cream-colored party vest with his name stitched on the back in green and a headband around his graying hair, the pro-independence legislator bobbed in the air in front of the speaker's lectern. Shouting filled the chamber as he was pushed and pulled by a sea of clutching hands.

His fellow legislators tried to scale the speaker's platform, only to be pushed away by ruling party legislators. One pro-independence legislator tumbled ass over elbow to the floor.

Something flew through the air and struck a ruling party legislator in the face. The victim put a hand over his eye and raised his other hand like an injured soccer player asking to be taken off the field.

Welcome to Taiwan's legislature, one of the unruliest in Asia or, really, anywhere in the world. Its melees have made it onto CNN and sparked regular bouts of soul-searching here over the "loss of face" for Taiwan. But few think the chamber's likely to learn better manners anytime soon.

Μπορεί οι βουλευτές της Δυτικής Κοινωνίας να μην παίζουν ξύλο μέσα ή έξω από τη βουλή αλλά σίγουρα παίζουν πολύ χειρότερα παιχνίδια σε βάρος ΟΛΩΝ. Γι αυτό λοιπόν μην το παίζετε κι ανώτεροι από τους Ταϊβανέζους και γενικά ανώτεροι από τους άλλους. Καρκίνοι, ε, καρκίνοι!
