To investigate the Dongying Resort farm road widening case, we searched the service office of Taitung County Chairman Wu Xiuhua today and interviewed former Taitung County Mayor Wu Junli to explain the case. Xu Yuzhen, secretary-general of the Kuomintang League, criticized that with just over a month left before the end-of-year election, the inspection and inspection team carried out large-scale searches of relevant locations of the Kuomintang county magistrate candidates at the most sensitive moment in the election campaign, raising suspicions about judicial involvement in the election. The judiciary must not handle cases politically, nor can it selectively enforce the law.

Xu Yuzhen pointed out that a search does not mean guilt, and an interview does not mean a conviction. However, a large-scale search before an election may destroy the reputation accumulated by the candidates over the years and even influence the election results. By the time the post-election investigation finds no wrongdoing, the election has long been over. Who will make up for the political damage? If the judiciary becomes a tool to influence elections, it will harm not only the candidates, but also democracy and the people's right to make a fair choice.

Xu Yuzhen questioned that there have been reports of searches and interviews in recent elections in various places. Is it true that where the DPP’s election situation is tense, the judiciary will investigate? How can this kind of justice win the trust of the people when it acts vigorously and resolutely against the opposition parties but is gentle about the ruling party? Everyone is equal before the law. There should not be two sets of standards for handling cases just because of different positions and colors.

Xu Yuzhen emphasized that the Kuomintang group will never tolerate political pursuit. The Kuomintang League requires the Ministry of Justice to strictly abide by judicial neutrality, put an end to selective law enforcement and violations of non-disclosure of investigations, and pursue any political cases with specific evidence to the end. The outcome of the election should be determined by the people's votes, not by the inspection votes! The judiciary is the last line of defense for democracy and must not be reduced to a weapon used by the ruling party to attack political opponents.
