Font size

總統賴清德昨天以「台灣,山巔之城、地上的鹽、世上的光」為題發表國慶演說。他強調,山巔之城是建造在護國群山之上,不能只有耀眼的天際線,更要有穩固的地基;要以務實治理推動加薪、減稅、增福利、少負擔,讓這國家裡的每個人都能站得穩、過得好。

全民團結 維護印太和平與穩定

今年國慶大會在總統府前廣場舉行,規劃序幕暖場、國慶典禮及主題表演,亮點包括由契努克直升機吊掛巨幅國旗緩緩凌空,空勤黑鷹直升機低空模擬吊掛救援,地面則集結軍警重機、特勤裝甲車與逾二五〇〇名防災士遊行,展現國防戰力與全社會防衛韌性;尾聲由空軍雷虎小組施放紅白藍三色彩煙衝場飛越,壓軸震撼凱道。

請繼續往下閱讀...

前總統陳水扁、前副總統呂秀蓮、陳建仁比鄰而坐,民眾黨主席黃國昌、親民黨主席宋楚瑜、時代力量黨主席王婉諭皆出席。史瓦帝尼王國國王恩史瓦帝三世暨王妃祖瑪等一四〇餘位外賓,也在總統府向賴總統伉儷及副總統蕭美琴致賀。

賴總統表示,在戰爭與威權擴張、全球秩序快速變動的時代,台灣應該成為什麼樣的國家?他的答案是,勇敢自信的打造「山巔之城」;山巔之城必須固若金湯,全民團結一心,是維護印太和平與穩定的關鍵力量。

生活就是地基 創造更好的未來

他直言,台灣的地基就是人民的生活。國家是否進步,不能只看產值與出口,更要看勞工待遇有沒有提高、家庭負擔有沒有減輕、長輩是否受到照顧,以及年輕人是否相信,努力就能創造更好的未來。

賴總統說,鹽雖然微小,卻能調和百味、防腐保鮮。台灣的國土不大,但守護民主、自由、人權及法治,不讓威權侵蝕珍貴的普世價值,不求霸權、也不追求支配他人;而台灣的光,來自人民的智慧與勤奮、產業的創新,也來自願意與世界分享成果的選擇,要跨越國界,讓更多需要幫助的人,感受到溫暖與希望。

Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, submitted a debate invitation to Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan in person at the Wanhua Guangzhao Palace Dinner on the evening of the 10th, hoping that all four TV stations would hold the debate. Jiang Wanan stated that he would send people to participate in TVBS negotiations. After watching the relevant video, anchor Xu Guiya criticized Jiang Wanan for using words that he thought were smart and questioned that his debate arrangement was too biased. Shen Boyang also pointed out that Shen Boyang's request was to have FTV, Sanli, Mirror TV and TVBS all hold debates to increase the opportunities for confrontation on municipal issues.

Is Lai Ching-te’s city on a hill a mirage? Kuomintang League: Lack of solutions to cross-strait crisis

Xu Yuzhen, secretary-general of the KMT Legislative Yuan, criticized President Lai Ching-te for mentioning the "city on a hill" in his National Day speech but building a high wall against domestic dissent. He failed to resolve the administrative and legislative deadlock, people's livelihood difficulties and cross-strait crises. He only emphasized opening up to the outside world and ignored domestic democratic practices. He also pointed out that economic growth has not benefited all people and that cross-strait dialogue lacks specific paths. He called for substantive dialogue between the government and the opposition to resolve constitutional disputes and people's livelihood issues.

Li Yanxiu accused social workers of distributing drugs, Shen criticized the rumor as going too far

During the "Say No to Drugs" event called by KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-wen, legislator Li Yanxiu said that social workers would provide drugs in the community. DPP Taipei mayor candidate Shen Boyang criticized this statement as being too excessive and asked Jiang Wanan whether he approved of spreading rumors and asked him to apologize. Jiang Wanan countered that community centers should not distribute drugs and needles, insisting on opposing the entry of drugs into communities and schools, and pointed to Shen Boyang's past articles as the source of the incident.
