蔣萬安南下高雄站台柯志恩 卻意外肯定高雄進步引發政策論證缺失質疑

Quick Look

台北市長蔣萬安南下高雄為國民黨市長參選人柯志恩站台,卻公開肯定高雄演唱會經濟蓬勃、城市有進步,甚至承認值得台北學習。柯志恩亦稱陳其邁做得好就該鼓勵。此情況下,選民自然質疑:若現行治理確實帶來進步,柯志恩究竟要改變什麼?又有哪些政策比現在更好?文章指出,政治人物應該鼓勵肯定不同政黨執政城市的成果,但作為助選者必須補上關鍵論證:既然高雄已有值得肯定的發展,國民黨提出的替代方案究竟能在哪些具體指標上改善現況?否則「高雄進步大家都看得到」與「高雄一定要換人」之間仍缺少完整的因果論證。同時,蔣萬安也應反思台北市政,說出台北這幾年大型活動、產業政策與公共建設留下了哪些可量化的新增成果。

Why It Matters

台北市長蔣萬安南下高雄為國民黨市長參選人柯志恩站台,原本預期應該強調政黨輪替的必要性,但其發言卻多次肯定高雄的發展,包括演唱會經濟蓬勃、城市進步等。柯志恩本人也承認陳其邁做得好就該給予鼓勵。此情況下,外界開始質疑若現行治理確實帶來進步,換人的政策論證何在。

台北市長蔣萬安9月19日南下高雄,替國民黨高雄市長參選人柯志恩站台,本來應該是要告訴高雄市民「為什麼需要政黨輪替」,結果台上講出的話卻頗為耐人尋味。蔣萬安表示,高雄這幾年演唱會經濟蓬勃,要讓高雄的進步從舞台走進巷弄;媒體追問後,他又解釋,城市進步不能只看演唱會經濟。更有意思的是,連柯志恩自己都說,陳其邁做得好就給他鼓勵,也承認「高雄這幾年有進步」。換句話說,今天這場國民黨造勢,從參選人到站台者,都沒有否認高雄正在進步。既然如此,選民自然可以追問:如果現行治理確實帶來進步,柯志恩究竟要改變什麼?又有哪些政策比現在更好?這才是「換人」之前最基本的政策論證。

更尷尬的是,蔣萬安過去在台北市議會答詢時屢屢提及高雄,連陳其邁在蔣南下前一天都公開表示,蔣萬安經常在答詢時講到高雄,但「看起來不是很了解高雄」,歡迎他多走走看看。結果蔣萬安真的來了,看到的卻不是一座毫無發展的城市,而是一座連他自己都承認演唱會經濟蓬勃、具有半導體與製造業優勢,而且值得台北與高雄彼此學習的城市。政治人物肯定不同政黨執政城市的成果,本來值得鼓勵;然而當蔣萬安此行的身分是柯志恩的助選者,就必須補上最關鍵的一段:既然高雄已有值得肯定的發展,國民黨提出的替代方案究竟能在哪些具體指標上改善現況?否則「高雄進步大家都看得到」與「高雄一定要換人」之間,仍然缺少完整的因果論證。

請繼續往下閱讀...

蔣萬安更該小心的是,當他把城市治理拿出來比較,同一把尺自然也會回到台北。蔣萬安任內究竟增加了多少新的城市競爭力,又有哪些公共治理問題仍待改善。相對地,高雄近年確實把演唱會、觀光、商圈與城市行銷結合起來,陳其邁19日提出演唱會經濟累計創造189億元產值,連蔣萬安都承認這項經濟活動相當蓬勃。因此蔣萬安與其站在高雄追問「演唱會散場之後呢」,台北市民同樣可以把問題送回市長面前:當高雄的演唱會散場、旅客離開之後留下多少消費與城市品牌,可以用數據檢驗;那麼台北這幾年的大型活動、產業政策與公共建設,又留下了哪些同樣可以量化的新增成果?

蔣萬安應回答市民,台北這幾年的大型活動、產業政策與公共建設,留下了哪些可量化的成果。圖為大巨蛋商場。(資料照)

最耐人尋味的,或許是蔣萬安似乎完全不介意這番話可能反過來成為柯志恩必須回答的考題。他是來助選的,卻先肯定高雄已有進步;柯志恩要挑戰現行治理,也同樣承認高雄有進步。如此一來,高雄選民面前真正的選擇就不應只是藍綠標籤,而是兩條治理路線的具體比較:一方主張延續既有政策並處理尚未完成的問題,另一方則必須證明改變治理團隊可以產生更好的結果。至於網友戲稱蔣萬安成了「綠萬安」、甚至調侃這樣站台究竟是在助選還是在「帶賽」,可以當成政治笑話看待;真正值得留下來的問題仍然是蔣萬安自己的那句話。既然高雄的進步連你都看到了,那麼請告訴高雄市民,為什麼要換掉正在進步的治理路線?也請回到台北告訴台北市民,你看見高雄進步的同時,這幾年又替台北創造了什麼新的進步?

DPP legislator Zhong Jiabin called on the opposition parties to pass the Executive Yuan version of the budget as soon as possible to ensure the implementation of welfare policies

Democratic Progressive Party legislator Zhong Jiabin criticized the opposition party for temporarily proposing a universal cash payment of 20,000 yuan and raising the old farmer's subsidy to 15,000 yuan in order to assist the nine-in-one election. However, it did not express its position on financial resources during the budget review. He emphasized that the Legislative Yuan can only delete the budget, not increase it. He called on the opposition party to pass the Executive Yuan version as soon as possible to allow people to receive an additional 10,000 yuan old farmer subsidy. If it feels that it is not enough, it can propose a proposal for negotiation next year.
