Garbage truck "helps" Jiang Wanan in the election? Liao Yuhui said she heard from her husband that the Blue Camp reported a violation of the election and strike law

Writer Liao Yuhui recently pointed out that Taipei City's garbage truck broadcast "Please support Chiang Wanan in the mayoral election", which was clarified by the Taipei City Environmental Protection Bureau as vaccine propaganda. She explained yesterday that her husband's statement about canvassing votes was not confirmed, and she questioned whether Chiang Kai-shek's pre-election recording propaganda did not avoid suspicion. Kuomintang Taipei City Councilors Chung Pei-jun, Zhang Sigang, Liu Caiwei, Yang Zhidou and parliamentary candidate Chen Guanan went to the Taipei District Prosecutor's Office to report that Liao Yuhui was suspected of violating the election and recall law for public officials, and demanded a public apology.

Liao Yuhui posted on Facebook on November 7 that the Dadaocheng garbage truck broadcast supported Jiang Wanan and questioned the private use of public equipment. The next day, she criticized the use of garbage trucks to promote policies during the mayoral election and did not avoid suspicion. She explained yesterday that the canvassing statement was relayed by her husband. The streets were noisy at the time and she had not confirmed it in time. However, the next day in Da'an District, she did hear a radio emphasizing "I am Jiang Wanan." She believed that at a time when the election campaign was heating up, candidates used garbage trucks to promote on the street, and there were still concerns about administrative neutrality. The original post alleging that the garbage truck was canvassing votes has now been deleted.

The Environmental Protection Agency stated that the on-board radio of garbage trucks has long been used for municipal publicity such as vaccination, dengue fever prevention and control, fraud prevention and disaster prevention. This time, in conjunction with the launch of publicly funded vaccines, an epidemic prevention audio file recorded by Jiang Wanan will be played from November 2 to 21. The total length is 1 minute and 18 seconds. The content is to remind citizens over 50 years old to get the new coronavirus and influenza vaccines, and there is no election canvassing content.

Zhong Peijun pointed out that Liao's post attracted more than 8,000 likes and hundreds of shares in one day. With his status and influence in the literary world, verification is not difficult. However, the accusation was published without verification. The Environmental Protection Bureau did not apologize after clarification. It was not until Lanying announced the complaint that it deleted the article late at night. Zhang Sigang said that Liao is good at observing life carefully, but this time he did not provide corresponding evidence. He should make corrections and apologize, and cannot allow unverified accusations and smears to fuel hate politics.

Liu Caiwei played an audio clip of Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai using a garbage truck to promote dengue fever prevention and cancer screening at the gate of Beijing Checkpoint, pointing out that other counties and cities have similar practices. Chen Guanan said that the city government from Hao Longbin, Ke Wenzhe to Jiang Wanan used garbage trucks to promote policies. He questioned Liao's political stance and demanded a public apology. Yang Zhidou said that if there was indeed a canvassing broadcast, it should be recorded and videotaped, and other citizens should also hear it and call on Liao to provide evidence.
