President and Democratic Progressive Party Chairman Lai Ching-de went to Nantou today to support Nantou County Magistrate candidate Wen Shizheng. In addition to criticizing the opposition parties in the Legislative Yuan for not reviewing the budget and affecting people's rights, he also praised Wen Shizheng for being "not satisfied" with the central government's monthly subsidy of 5,000 yuan for children under 18 years old. He will increase the childcare subsidy of 2,000 yuan for children under 6 years old in Nantou to reduce the burden on parents.

Lai Qingde said that the National Pension was originally scheduled to receive at least 5,000 yuan per month starting from July this year, but because the budget of the Legislative Yuan has not yet been passed and the opposition parties have not reviewed it, the people have not yet been able to get it. He emphasized that political parties can compete, but they cannot confront each other to the point of affecting people's rights.

Lai Qingde also said that starting from next year, the central government will provide a monthly growth allowance of 5,000 yuan to children under 18 years old. He joked that Wen Shizheng was "not satisfied" and would add an additional 2,000 yuan to children under 6 years old. He called on Nantou villagers to support the outstanding local Wen Shizheng and bring a better future to Nantou.
