Fighting erupted in Taiwan’s parliament on Monday as lawmakers from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) broke through barricades erected by the main opposition Kuomintang (KMT) who had occupied it to protest against government “tyranny”.
Taiwan is a rambunctious democracy and fights and protests inside the parliament building are not an uncommon occurrence.
