彰化議長謝典霖與其父親謝新隆因涉及議會宴客餐會賄選案被羈押,其母鄭汝芬以100萬元交保。此案引發對賄選標準的爭議,影響全台參選人競選活動。
彰化議長謝典霖與父親謝新隆因涉議會宴客餐會賄選案遭羈押,媽媽鄭汝芬100萬元交保;國民黨彰化縣長參選人魏平政今天(23日)上廣播節目談及賄選議題,他直言,司法案已讓全台參選人產生「寒蟬效應」,連中秋節烤肉活動摸彩品都有人急著收回。他呼籲法務部儘速訂出一致標準,避免浮濫檢舉或只查單方,造成選舉不公平。
魏平政接受資深媒體人尹乃菁主持的廣播節目專訪時指出,現在參選人最怕被對手檢舉、檢調來查,連國民黨台中市黨部詢問台中地檢署,活動能否提供貢丸湯,都得到「一個可以、兩個不行」的說法,讓他覺得很離譜、也很意外。

他認為,賄選不能只看食物或物品的價格,應回到法律所要判斷的有沒有影響投票意願及對價關係,茶水、餅乾等一般活動招待,不應因價值認定就被視為賄選而被查。
魏平政說,當初法務部長陳定南明訂30元是文宣品,而不是對價關係,現在大家都亂混了,原本認為辦說明會、座談會,基本茶水不應該會有太大的問題,好比選民到總部,總部要不要準備餅乾糖果,常理來說,招待茶水是正常的,也都是需要的,不應該用價值多少錢去判斷賄選。但現在參選人害怕被檢舉被調查,在沒有統一標準下,若檢方偏袒只辦某一方的話,對另一方就會非常有利,影響選舉公平性。
談到謝典霖遭押,魏平政也認為羈押涉及參政權,若被告否認犯罪,檢方應提出更具體的證據,不應只是擔心湮滅證據就押人取供。他說,一次羈押同一家族3名重要成員相當少見,司法採取的手段應經得起檢驗,該司法案讓原本擔任其競選總部顧問團團長的鄭汝芬無法繼續輔選,對他的選情造成影響,但他尊重鄭汝芬的決定與意願,選舉終究看參選人政見與論述和解決問題的能力,「我不會打負面選舉」,他繼續全力以赴,堅持到最後。

Philippine senators are considering lowering the vote threshold needed to convict impeached Vice President Sara Duterte in her Senate trial, as key allies face legal troubles including arrests, warrants, and investigations, increasing her risk of conviction and a lifetime political ban.

Lin Guozhang, candidate for mayor of Yilan County from the Democratic Progressive Party, released the Yilan Golden Ten Year Industrial Development Plan, proposing three main axes: using artificial intelligence to assist the transformation of various industries, striving for industries from the two norths to enter Yilan, and developing a healthy living new economy. He also emphasized the use of Yilan's geographical advantages to create a drone town, which was supported by legislator Chen Junyu and representatives from industry and academia.

The Democratic Progressive Party held a public opinion response press conference this morning. Secretary-General Zhuang Ruixiong admitted that the personnel consent case of Supervisory Dean nominee Chen Yongxing and Vice Dean nominee Wang Rongzhang may be blocked by both blue and white. However, he emphasized that the operation of the Supervisory Yuan should be maintained before it is abolished, and called on the government and the opposition to vote rationally.

The latest poll released by the Taiwan Motivational Association shows that 63.4% of the people are dissatisfied with the performance of the Legislative Yuan. The main reason is that the opposition between the ruling and opposition parties seriously affects the operation of deliberations. Although 57.7% of the people do not support the Kuomintang's reduction of state funds for the Presidential Office, the policy of universal distribution of 10,000 yuan next year has gained a high degree of social consensus, with more than 75% of supporters of the ruling and opposition parties in favor. Defense expenditures exceeding 3% of GDP are also supported by nearly 70% of the people.

Kuomintang League Secretary-General Xu Yuzhen criticized Chen Yongxing, the nominee for the Supervisory Yuan, for asking Congress to exercise the right of consent wisely and rationally before obtaining the consent of the Legislative Yuan. He said that his attitude proved that he did not understand the meaning of the parliamentary consent right, and questioned his commitment to Taiwan independence and transcending party affiliation. He believed that the position of the Supervisory Yuan requires a high degree of neutrality and self-control, and that the Legislative Yuan is not a rubber stamp.

Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado made three attempts in the past 24 hours to return to Venezuela from Panama via boat and Caribbean islands but was unable to complete the journey, according to a source with direct knowledge of her plans, as acting President Delcy Rodriguez met with US President Donald Trump at the UN General Assembly in New York.
