Lai Qingde went to Yilan for the auxiliary election this afternoon as the party chairman. Starting from 1 p.m., he visited temples in Zhuangwei, Yuanshan, Luodong and Yilan City. He delivered a speech at each stop and led supporters to chant slogans, showing the momentum of the auxiliary election with the whole party's efforts, and also instantly heated up the smoke of the local election battle.
In this regard, Wu Zongxian said in an interview that the elected president is the president of all the people, and "we must have respect for the president." However, national affairs are complicated. After President Lai took office, his focus was still on elections and removals, which is not a good thing for the long-term development of the country. From the time he took office to the present, he has either held elections or carried out removals. This is not a blessing to the country.
Wu Zongxian pointed out that the impact of the US election on the world is very important, and it is even more serious on Taiwan, especially as cross-strait relations are tense. The president should spend more time on cross-strait, international and economic issues, instead of going around campaigning and talking about elections all day long. "You should go back to the people who supported you back then and tell everyone that you are a good president," instead of thinking about the election every day.
In the face of the green camp's strong attack, Wu Zongxian emphasized, "We know that our opponents have all the support from the government party, but we will not show weakness and will propose policies that are beneficial to the people of Yilan County. I believe that in the era of information transparency, everyone's eyes are sharp, and they will know who is just running elections and who is truly interested in governing and fighting for welfare for everyone."
