Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan conducted a street sweep at Neihu 737 Night Market to solicit votes.
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan went to the Neihu 737 Night Market in Taipei City tonight to sweep the streets to ask for votes. When a stall vendor faced Chiang Wanan's handshake, he chose to refuse. Chiang Wanan then changed his fist to greet him.
However, the stall owner bluntly stated that it was "very noisy" and complained that "it is not a publicity stunt." He believed that the volume and ostentation of the venue affected business. He also compared the past visits of Shen Boyang, Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, and believed that visiting stalls and shaking hands one by one was more comfortable.
When asked by a reporter whether street sweeping was too noisy, the vendor said: "I don't like it. To be honest, I just feel uncomfortable." She pointed out that when Shen Boyang visited before, he walked slowly and shook hands one by one. There was no slogan shouting all the time, and there was no such big pomp. She hoped that the visit would not last too long.
However, the stall owner also emphasized that he was not supporting any party and was just expressing his personal feelings. She believes that everyone has the right to speak and is not deliberately targeting specific politicians.
After another supporter of Jiang Wanan heard the complaints from the vendors, he retorted, "It's not like Jiang Wanan comes here every day." The atmosphere between the two sides became tense and a quarrel almost broke out. The stall vendor reiterated that he was just expressing his personal position. In the end, the two parties stopped talking and no further conflict broke out.
