蔣萬安團隊濫用市府資源進行選舉宣傳,公務員不滿行政中立遭破壞

Quick Look

蔣萬安市長上任後,其發言人團隊多次以修改局處新聞稿的方式,將政治攻擊內容塞入官方發布內容,要求各單位掛名發布,違背行政中立原則。公務員普遍不滿,認為此行為羞辱公務員體系,損害專業尊嚴,並呼籲政治人物應自行成立競選團隊,不應濫用公共資源。

Why It Matters

作者為前北市府員工,指出柯文哲時期雖有政治爭執,但仍能維持行政分際;蔣萬安上任後,發言人團隊開始濫用市府資源進行選舉宣傳,修改局處新聞稿,加入政治攻擊內容,要求各單位掛名發布。

過去柯市府時期,即便再怎麼與競選對手爭辯、與中央互槓,至少還能守住最基本的行政分際。若要進行政治攻防、言語互嗆,也會由柯文哲本人或發言人陳智菡掛名回應。

但到了蔣萬安時期,發言人團隊過去就經常以非常粗糙的手段干預新聞運作;直至今年選舉期間,更是明目張膽地將台北市政府當成蔣萬安的競選總部。

以我跑線十餘年的新聞資歷,這種充滿惡意、低俗,甚至違背行政中立原則的局處新聞稿用語,還是前所未見。

當然,這些文字根本不可能出自公務員之手。蔣萬安的發言人團隊會將局處原本擬寫的說明稿拿去「修潤」,把充滿政治攻擊意味的低劣詞彙塞進內文及標題,再丟回局處,要求各單位掛名發布這種充滿「殷瑋語法」的爛稿。

北市府各局處當然可以闢謠、說明,但必須認清自身身分。既然領的是公家薪水、使用的是公共資源與平台,就應該就事論事,至少維持最基本的行政中立;至於其他選舉攻防與政治語言,本來就是蔣萬安及其幕僚應該自行面對的事。

已經有非常多公務員不滿這樣的做法,但偏偏有些鄉愿、諂媚奉承的首長,對發言人丟來的爛稿照單全收、自毀官箴,甚至還大言不慚地反過來教訓基層。

例如空降體育局長的游竹萍,對此就不以為意,甚至親口說出「因為市府就是一體」;而教育局長湯志民歷經柯、蔣兩朝,一輩子身處教育界,也曾享有聲名,如今卻由教育局發布使用「翻車」等政治攻防字眼的新聞稿,難道不覺得這是在羞辱公務員,也是在折損整個教育界的專業與尊嚴嗎?

蔣萬安及其發言人團隊,如果要打選戰,就趕快成立自己的競選團隊,多花點心力了解市政,光明正大地站出來攻防。別總是躲在公務員背後,把北市府搞得烏煙瘴氣。

把行政機器當成競選工具,逼著公務員替政治人物抬轎,對行政中立與公務尊嚴的踐踏,莫此為甚。

Ke Wenzhe responded to the Trump-Xi talks on the World War II Flying Tigers: The United States operates based on international realism. If Taiwan does not value history, others will not care.

U.S. President Trump mentioned the World War II Flying Tigers during the Trump-Xi meeting and said that the United States and China had been important allies, raising concerns about whether he ignored the existence of the Republic of China. Ko Wenzhe, founding chairman of the People’s Party, pointed out in an interview that the U.S. government’s foreign policy is based on international realism, emphasizing that if Taiwan itself does not value the history of the Republic of China, foreign countries will naturally not care. This kind of reaction is the norm in international political reality.

However, no joint statement was issued and no major breakthrough was made.

Ke Wenzhe responded to the controversy within the KMT: calling it a family matter and the KMT was only an observer

Yang Wenke, chairman of the Kuomintang Hsinchu County Party Headquarters, criticized some local people for "fighting against the blue army under the blue flag", saying that "traitors who cheated on votes" should be cast aside. Ko Wenzhe, the founding chairman of the People's Party, responded that it was a domestic matter of the Kuomintang and that the People's Party was only an observer. He also pointed out that the communication between the two parties was not smooth and that the final decision should be made by voters through ballots.
