本土歷史扭曲未擺脫陰霾 游錫堃點名馬英九:竟拿綠色恐怖形容民主政權

Quick Look

前立法院長游錫堃在辜寬敏百年冥誕紀念論壇上指出,台灣本土歷史在兩蔣威權統治下長期遭掩蓋與抹殺,歷史扭曲的陰霾未消。他直指前總統馬英九曾在蔣氏政權擔任要職,卻以「綠色恐怖」批評民進黨政府,實為睜眼說瞎話,並強調白色恐怖時期司法淪為統治工具,台灣民主成果來自人民流血犧牲,非威權恩賜。

今年適逢總統府前資政辜寬敏百年冥誕,前立法院長游錫堃出席紀念論壇時,直指台灣本土歷史在兩蔣威權統治下,長期遭掩蓋與抹殺,如今歷史被扭曲的陰霾仍未消失,像前總統馬英九曾在蔣氏政權擔任要職,卻昧著良心拿「白色恐怖」批評民進黨實施「綠色恐怖」,簡直是睜眼說瞎話。

辜寬敏基金會今日舉辦「辜寬敏百年冥誕紀念論壇-反抗者的革命年代與當代使命」,包括陽明交通大學人文社會學系副教授許維德、政大台灣史研究所及歷史學系合聘教授薛化元、律師賴中強、台灣永社理事長羅承宗等人與談,游錫堃出席致詞。

請繼續往下閱讀...

游錫堃提到,回溯台灣歷史,在蔣氏政權的威權統治下,本土歷史長期遭刻意掩蓋、扭曲與抹殺,其中流毒最深的莫過於兩蔣政權一再灌輸「台灣自古屬於中國」。然而,實際上孫中山、蔣介石、周恩來都曾公開表示支持台灣獨立,拆穿了國共兩黨長久以來的謊言。

游錫堃說,史料提醒大家,台灣歷史不容任意篡改。為了鞏固民主、深化主體認同、建構正常國家,我們有責任持續發掘、釐清並還原屬於台灣人的史實。然而,善惡易辨,偽善難察,威權體制雖已經結束,歷史扭曲的陰影並未消失,在資訊發達的今天,想明辨是非,卻面臨重重挑戰。

游錫堃直指,馬英九曾多次指責民進黨政府實施「綠色恐怖」,甚至與昔日的「白色恐怖」劃上等號,但馬曾在兩蔣政權擔任重要職務,具有留美法學博士的背景,更曾任國家最高領導人。以馬對歷史的了解,一定知道兩者相差天壤,竟昧著良心以「綠色恐怖」形容現在的民主政權,實在令人痛心。

游錫堃說,在白色恐怖年代,蔣介石與蔣經國父子宛如帝王,集行政、立法、司法大權於一身,司法獨立根本是無稽之談。1960年雷震籌組中國民主黨遭逮,蔣介石甚至直接指示,刑期不得少於十年,這是司法淪為蔣姓政權統治工具的明證,也是公認的事實。

游錫堃痛批,馬英九將這些充滿酷刑、流血、冤獄的恐怖年代,與今天自由開放的民主社會混為一談,睜眼說瞎話,令人費解。他強調,台灣能夠擁有傲視國際的民主成就,絕非天上掉下來,也並非威權統治者的慈悲寬恕,而是歷經百多年來,一代又一代台灣人前仆後繼、用鮮血淚水堆疊的成果。

Jiang Wanan threw the loose machine and moved it without warning. The reserve colonel ignored the national security search and rescue and lacked supporting facilities.

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wa-An unexpectedly announced the relocation of Songshan Airport and planned to develop the surrounding land into an AI park, residences and parks. The move was criticized for not considering the national defense function, not obtaining central permission, and lacking coordination with the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Interior. Former Air Force Colonel Ma Yixiang pointed out that Songshan Airport is a shared airport between the military and civilians and has important combat readiness and search and rescue missions. The relocation should be evaluated by the Ministry of National Defense.
