美國白宮新聞秘書札卡利亞(Katie Zacharia)上任還不到1週,就因為律師資格問題受到審視,外媒消息更傳出,札卡利亞已被炒魷魚,美國總統川普(Donald Trump)被問及此事時坦言,已要求札卡利亞重新考慮這份工作,並稱「也許這不適合她」。

白宮新任新聞秘書(發言人)札卡利亞(Katie Zacharia)13日首度主持新聞簡報會,卻照稿唸完川普政府的「政績」後,只接受3名記者提問,全程不到15分鐘就結束,部份白宮官員和顧問對她的表現頗有微詞。雖然第一時間川普還稱覺得札卡利亞「非常好」,但札卡利亞仍陷入首場記者會表現不佳、律師資格遭質疑等爭議。

請繼續往下閱讀...

外媒引述知情人士指出,札卡利亞已遭解除職務,不再擔任新聞發言人,川普於16日被問及此事時則稱,這份工作可能比扎卡里亞原先想像的更辛苦,已要求她重新考慮這份工作,川普還說「也許這份工作不適合她」,並抱怨媒體對她太過苛刻,並指會讓札卡利亞自己做決定,等他回到白宮會再跟札卡利亞談。

相較於川普稱會讓札卡利亞自己做決定,「紐約時報」(The New York Times)、美國有線電視新聞網(CNN)等外媒報導則指出,札卡利亞已被解僱,若此為真札卡利亞也創下白宮新聞發言人任期最短紀錄。

Jiang Wanan is crazy about the show, but Shen Boyang’s search interest is even higher! Fanzhuan analysis: The rhythm of Taipei election news has changed

At the end of the year, the Taipei mayoral election entered its final stage. The current mayor Chiang Wanan has increased his exposure through intensive policy announcements and interviews on political programs. However, the analysis of "Voice and Politics" shows that he has not driven the public's active search interest. On the other hand, the Democratic Progressive Party candidate Shen Boyang continues to attract attention through activities such as street sweeping with the "Ocean Current" fleet. The search popularity and the number of green live broadcast views show a growing trend, indicating that the media rhythm of Taipei's election campaign is changing.

The Kuomintang donated RMB 20,000 to save the election and was forced to show off the day before the political Yuan vote.

The Kuomintang is pushing to increase the amount of universal cash to 20,000 yuan. The Legislative Yuan has submitted the special bill to the second reading and consultation. The third reading is expected to be as soon as November 17. Executive Yuan Zhuo Yongtai said that an AI bonus of NT$10,000 has been budgeted and will not cause crowding out or borrowing, but warned that if the opposition parties ignore the national finances, the Executive Yuan will have no choice. The experience of last year's general recall showed that the general issue affected the election, and the ruling team was worried that accepting the blue camp's increase would aid the KMT's election and damage the country's financial sustainability.

Health insurance premiums are free for those over 65 years old! Lawyer laments: Young people have to help people with assets and pensions pay the bills

The Legislative Yuan passed the draft amendment to Article 22 of the Elderly Welfare Law on the third reading on the 16th. The central government will subsidize the health insurance premiums for the elderly over 65 years old whose comprehensive income tax rate does not reach 20%. Lawyer Lin Zhiqun questioned that the 20% income tax threshold is equivalent to an annual income of 1.33 million yuan. It is difficult for retired elderly people to meet the standard, but elderly people with assets are exempted from paying health insurance premiums. Young people need to pay an average of 3,000 yuan more in health insurance premium subsidies. Medical groups also rebounded, pointing out that people over 65 account for 19.6% of the population but consume 43.59% of health insurance resources.

Before the blue election, Huang Diying criticized Fu Kunqi for corrupting the finances and defrauding the people by issuing guava tickets.

The Legislative Yuan passed the Kuomintang group's proposal, requiring a universal cash payment of 20,000 yuan before the election and a second reading for negotiation. Lawyer Huang Diying criticized the proposal for not accounting for financial resources, failing to explain whether it would exclude other budgets, and violating Article 70 of the Constitution. He described it as a "guava ticket" and accused it of defrauding the people. He questioned Fu Kunqi's three criminal records and her unfitness to serve as the chief convener of the party caucus.
