The Kuomintang Taichung mayoral candidate Jiang Qichen held a large-scale rally titled "Connecting the Sea! Unite Forward!" at the Yunjiu Baseball and Softball Stadium in Shalu District yesterday (6th) evening. Legislative President Han Guoyu delivered the final speech. He once again raised the issue of the eastward extension of National VI, which aroused discussion.

Hanguo-yu once again called out the idea proposed many years ago to "extend National 6 eastward from Nantou to Hualien" through the Central Mountain Range. He and Jiang Qichen also signed it, emphasizing that if the 28 kilometers of the Central Mountain Range are opened, traffic will be smooth from east to west, and Taichung City will only need 40 minutes to reach Hualien and go down to Taitung, becoming a one-day living area.

In this regard, President Jiang Qichen said today that Vice President Jiang knows that transportation construction is one of the important conditions for local development, such as the Dongfeng Expressway in mountainous cities. The purpose of signing the petition to support the eastward extension of National VI is to strive for the macro vision of a "one-day living circle in central and eastern areas" for the central region. He thanks President Han for seeing Taichung's strategic position. The co-signers request the central government to actively initiate "preliminary exploration and feasibility assessment". Environmental protection and engineering safety are absolutely the first priority. They fully respect scientific data and hope that science and professionalism will determine the pace of future local development.

Paraguay's Congress passed an impeachment motion on the 6th to remove President Peña Nieto from office. Vice President Pedro Ariana was sworn in as president and will complete the remaining one year and nine months of his term. Peña Nieto was dismissed from office on suspicion of malfeasance and is currently under house arrest by the police. Previously, the Central Bank of Paraguay took over Banco Hueno, which is linked to Peña Nieto, resulting in the freezing of deposits and unpaid wages of millions of savers, retirees and workers.
