There was no disagreement about the demand to have an immediate recount. Chiou reiterated Chen's willingness to carry out a judicial recount and that he would accept the result whether or not it is in his favor.
Chiou also repeated that Chen welcomes any expert recommended by the pan-blue alliance as part of the task force investigating the assassination, but said it would be inappropriate to assemble the task force by declaring a state of emergency.
Nonetheless, he said, Chen would agree to an emergency decree if there were a legal reason for doing so.
Chiou suggested that the Legislative Yuan could pass a special law that would enable the creation of a task force to investigate the assassination attempt as well as a commission of inquiry into the national security mechanism.
