Xie Longjie, the KMT-nominated candidate for mayor of Tainan, proposed countermeasures against the declining birthrate and demands for clean governance.
KMT Tainan mayoral candidate Hsieh Long-chie held a press conference today for the launch of a political website. The website integrates major political opinions such as marriage and childcare, increased childcare and growth allowances, upgraded welfare for the elderly, clean governance and "do it now", allowing citizens to check policy content at any time. It also provides daily itineraries, press releases, campaign MVs, short policy videos and interactive games to make it easier for the public to keep up with the latest developments.
Xie Longjie said that when he was sweeping the streets recently, many primary school students and junior high school students watched the policy short video and took the initiative to ask whether the childcare subsidy could really reach 7,500 yuan. The purpose of proposing childcare subsidies and marriage and childcare homes is to reduce the burden on families, make mothers less tired and live a happier life, and also allow families who are willing to have children to have a stable place to live. The low birthrate is a national security issue that Taiwan must face squarely. The government should enable families to have children and raise children, starting from both housing and childcare.
Regarding policy financial resources, Xie Longjie said that the central and local governments should be partners. When it comes to the allocation of financial resources, they should sit down and coordinate to use resources where citizens really need them. He will continue to fight for funding for Tainan and promote policies to care for children, youth and elders. He will only serve one term and will not be re-elected for four years. He will respond to the needs of the public with clean governance and a "get it done now" spirit. He will make his political opinions open and transparent and subject to public scrutiny. He will invite folks to learn about policies online and jointly care about Tainan's future.
