Why It Matters

柯志恩為國民黨高雄市長參選人,近期參加旗山區活動時發表「吃屏東香蕉」言論,被解讀為不支持在地旗山產業,引發民進黨議員及在地人士不滿,進而組織購買旗山香蕉捐贈弱勢家庭以表達支持。

國民黨高雄市長參選人柯志恩日前參加旗山活動,脫口說出「吃屏東香蕉」惹議,有地方仕紳看不下去,霸氣買下1000斤旗山香蕉,今天送往鳳山區實物銀行,由「高雄捍衛隊」民進黨鳳山議員林智鴻等人攜手立委邱議瑩,轉交高雄市社福慈善總會將分送800戶弱勢家庭,高喊「我是高雄人,我挺旗山蕉!」,拒絕不尊重旗山人和高雄人的「這柯,歹嘴斗」。

對此,柯競辦反駁說,柯志恩挺旗山農民始終如一,近日也採購旗山香蕉,呼籲綠營莫將農民心血當政治工具。

請繼續往下閱讀...

「高雄捍衛隊」民進黨鳳山議員林智鴻、三民議員鄭孟洳、左楠議員參選人張以理、林園大寮議員參選人張耀中,邀請東九區議員參選人林慧欣,攜手旗美在地立委邱議瑩,今天一同為旗山蕉農發聲,質疑柯志恩心不在高雄。

林智鴻表示,柯志恩拒絕助理手上旗山香蕉,不僅傷了在地蕉農的心,更突顯爭取擔任市長的人,輕蔑與不尊重高雄歷史、產業、在地情感,參政者應當關心在地產業與弱勢者,而非整天到哪只想造勢、拔樁等政治算計。

「那天我也在現場!」林慧欣表示,每一項農作物都是農民辛苦耕耘成果,參選市長應尊重在地、看見農民的努力,大家一起支持在地農產,讓高雄好味道被更多人看見。

邱議瑩表示,愛高雄不是嘴巴講,沒有心要為高雄服務,住再久也是枉然。

鄭孟洳建議柯志恩不妨發起認購旗山香蕉公益活動,支持蕉農、照顧弱勢,讓愛高雄不只是選舉口號,更展現對這片土地與農民付出的尊重。

Lee Ming-hsien talks about the Taipei mayoral election: Attack and defense on drug issues are still a front-line battle, and Shen Boyang's "Ocean Current" is hardly as thick as the "Korean Wave" in 2018

Taipei City Councilor Lee Ming-hsien of the KMT revealed in a political commentary program that he saw in the council members’ internal group that a council member first posted Shen Boyang’s drug-related article from 12 years ago, but it was unclear who found it in the first place. He believes that the current attack and defense of Jiang Wanan and Shen Boyang on the drug issue is still a "call for battle before the battle" in the early stage of the election campaign, and the formal battle has yet to be discussed in the follow-up. Li Mingxian analyzed that the election campaign needs to take into account both the basic base and the median voters, and Jiang Wanan is building an organizational base. As for Shen Boyang's so-called "ocean current", he believes that its political cohesion is different from the "Korean Wave" in 2018. There is still a gap in thickness and penetration, and the momentum has both natural and human factors.

After the opening of the Taichung Shui-Nan Transfer Center, the facilities were insufficient. Candidates from the Democratic Progressive Party questioned whether half-opening was a waste of public funds.

The Taichung Shui-Nan Transfer Center was opened on August 5. However, Democratic Progressive Party mayoral candidate He Xinchun and city councilors Chen Shuhua, Lin Qifeng and Zeng Ziyao pointed out that the center has four major problems, including incomplete national highway passenger transport services, insufficient urban bus connections, inconvenient ticketing and unsmooth external transportation routes. They questioned that opening the facility before it was completed was a waste of public funds and proposed reform plans.
