KMT Chairman Cheng Lai-man yesterday (9th) called for the "Say No to Drugs, I Will Protect My Children" event. Li Yanxiu, a KMT legislator, said at the event that "social workers will provide drugs in the community in the future," a comment that sparked controversy. Shen Boyang, candidate for Taipei mayor of the Democratic Progressive Party, angrily criticized this morning. This is really too ridiculous and too much. Does Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan approve of such rumors? Should we also come out to explain and apologize?

Shen Boyang said in an interview this morning that this is a very serious issue. He happened to be in Nangang, Neihu today, and Li Yanxiu is also a legislator of Nangang, Neihu. He criticized the Kuomintang's rumors as being extreme and excessive. On the first day when the Kuomintang spread rumors, he kept reminding them and calling on them not to harm front-line personnel. Why are so many frontline professionals angry now? It’s all because this has completely destroyed our system of drug harm reduction for more than ten or twenty years.

Shen said that if the rumors were aimed at him alone, that would be fine. His opponents liked to fight such negative campaigns, so he would accept it. But how could he discredit social workers for distributing drugs in the community? This is really ridiculous. This matter is very serious. We must apologize. This is really too much. We must give a stern explanation and admit that we are spreading rumors.

He also pointed out that Li Yanxiu has now joined Jiang Wanan’s speaking team. Does Mayor Jiang agree with such rumors? Should Jiang come out to explain and apologize to the social worker? This matter is really serious, this is not a joke, this is too much.
