Why It Matters
Former Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe is involved in a political donation and breach of trust case, and the case is currently entering the second instance of the High Court.
The second trial of the political donation and breach of trust case involving former Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe opened in the High Court yesterday. People's Party founder Zhu Huirong posted on social media today, revealing that while cleaning up her office, she dug out a book signed by Ko Wenzhe when he was running for mayor of Taipei in 2014. In the book, he saw a large line under the sentence "Politics is just about finding your conscience." Fang signed. In addition to revealing the little story at that time, she also asked sadly: "Dr. Ke, when faced with the huge tsunami of donations, where did you put your conscience at that moment? Or, at that moment, was your conscience suddenly eaten by a dog?"
Zhu Huirong posted on Facebook today that when she went to Ke Wenzhe's election campaign in 2014, she specifically asked him to sign a page titled "Politics is just about regaining conscience." At that time, she also said to Ke Wenzhe: "I hope that after you sign, don't forget to put your conscience aside!" Ke Wenzhe nodded and signed.
Now that the second trial of the political donation case is about to begin, Zhu Huirong believes that no matter how Ke Wenzhe's wife Chen Peiqi confides the bitterness of her family life, or what strategies the new legal team adopts, the couple still have not really faced the core issues of the breach of trust and embezzlement case.
"If Dr. Ke could implement what he said in 2014, "Politics is just about regaining conscience," and persist to this day, I believe that no matter how arrogant or random he is, everyone can forgive him." Zhu Huirong lamented that if Ke Wenzhe could adhere to the provisions of the "Political Contribution Law", act in accordance with the law, and even close the account immediately after the donation reaches the target, today the couple will definitely not be in a situation where the couple must face the possibility of jail in embarrassment.
Zhu Huirong asked Ke Wenzhe, if politics is really as simple as "finding your conscience", then in the face of the huge tsunami of donations, "At that moment, where did you put your conscience? Or, at that moment, your conscience was suddenly eaten by a dog?" She also added that these words were spoken by Ke Wenzhe sternly in her exclusive interview that year.
Zhu Huirong finally said that if "change comes true" is really realized because of Ke Wenzhe, and a truly benign new political ecology is born in Taiwan, "then the person who is in power today will definitely not be the 'killer' that Dr. Peggy calls your family and your family."
Open Questions
- Has Ke Wenzhe’s team responded to Zhu Huirong’s public questioning?
- When will the second-instance court make a further ruling?
