President Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) yesterday accused the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) of being infected with "democracy phobia" and unable to adjust to the nation's deepening democracy.
"Although the former rulers who opposed democratization and reforms have now become the opposition power, they still cannot break away from their authoritarian past," Chen said. "They are constantly on the defensive and are contradictory toward changes that might undermine their vested interests. It seems they are inflicted with democracy phobia -- a mentality they bear from the past."
Chen was speaking in his capacity as the chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) at the inauguration of a seminar held by the party to discuss the nation's holding of a referendum next year.
