國際民主及選舉協助研究所公布「2026全球民主現況」最新報告,台灣司法獨立由「高表現」降至「中等表現」,引起國民黨立委許宇甄批評,「司法不能有顏色,更不能姓賴」。對此,民進黨立委鍾佳濱今(16)日提報告打臉,指出藍白聯手讓憲法法庭停擺,才拉低台灣分數。
鍾佳濱表示,民主自由是台灣引以為傲、與全世界共享的價值,司法獨立也是政府與各界堅守的界線。台灣在本次評估報告中,「公民參與」項目拿下全球第七名,證明台灣民主與公民社會的活躍。
鍾佳濱指出,「司法獨立」項目雖排名下降,但評估報告未揭示影響評分的關鍵因素,而國民黨卻逕自將矛頭指向民進黨政府與賴清德總統,甚至強扣「司法有顏色」、「司法不公」的大帽子,完全是含沙射影、含血噴人。
鍾佳濱提出,反觀自由之家於今年發行的《2026全球自由度報告》,在「司法是否遵循正當程序」項目,台灣獲得滿分的最高評價;而「是否存在獨立司法機構」一題,報告中清楚指出,由於藍白聯手杯葛否決大法官人事案,致使憲法法庭遲遲未達法定人數、只能被迫停擺,因此導致台灣被扣分。
鍾佳濱說,由此可見,國民黨憑藉擁有國會多數而濫權癱瘓司法,致使司法獨立受到斲傷,身為始作俑者,國民黨必須負起最大責任;如今卻不知反省還惡人先告狀,只會給國際間看笑話。
