前民眾黨新北市黨部副發言人、無黨籍新北市議員參選人張昭隆被控在社區活動時,發放庇護工場蘿蔔糕及美元賄選。新北檢複訊後認涉行賄及公益侵占罪嫌重大,且有滅證勾串之虞,向法院聲請羈押禁見獲准。對此,美國聖湯瑪斯大學國際研究講座教授葉耀元表示,知法犯法或是連賄選貪污的基本都不搞清楚,已經是民眾黨的傳統,所以這個事件大概在民眾黨滅亡之前,也不會是最後一件。

葉耀元在臉書PO文表示,知法犯法或是連賄選貪污的基本都不搞清楚,已經是民眾黨的傳統。所以這個事件大概在民眾黨滅亡之前,也不會是最後一件,為什麼要發美金?我真的不懂發美金的概念是什麼,難道民眾可以拿美金來做什麼嗎?

請繼續往下閱讀...

葉耀元直言,請各位候選人記得,任何構成對價關係,也就是候選人是否有這個要改變收受者投票的「動機」,與收受者(選民)是否主觀感受到有必須因為收受這個禮品而產生對該候選人的投票義務與責任,這就會構成賄選。說真的,不搞事就不會出事,但民眾黨真的很喜歡搞事,所以才會出事。

Huang Weihan predicts that Shen Boyang will win 40% of the vote, saying that Jiang Wanan’s adjustment of strategy shows that he knows that the situation is unfavorable

Senior media person Huang Weihan reiterated his May prediction: Shen Boyang will get at least 40% of the vote, 500,000 votes, and all 25 city council members of the Democratic Progressive Party will be elected. He pointed out that the blue camp initially laughed at his prediction, but the current rise in the ocean current, and Jiang Wanan's adjustment strategy to win the votes of the People's Party, shows that his understanding of the situation is not as good as expected. Huang Weihan analyzed the voter structure of Taipei City's 12 districts and believed that District 3 is difficult, District 4 needs efforts, and District 5 can be expanded. He emphasized that the election situation can only be further judged after the Dai Li'an poll is released on 9/22.
