民眾黨團在立法院議場前舉行記者會,針對台美能源合作提出質疑,並回應今日院會議程與黨團提案。
美國總統川普日前透露,台灣已承諾採購700億至800億美元的阿拉斯加液化天然氣(LNG),並同意投入44億美元進行股權投資。對此,民眾黨團今抨擊,我國向美採購天然氣價格不透明,絕非經濟部長用「非常漂亮」就能交代,質疑中油在高負債比下的投資來源,更呼籲日後相關採購合約應提早送至立院審議,不該讓台灣人民後知後覺。
民眾黨團今(16)早於立法院議場前舉行記者會,黨團8位立委全數出席接受媒體聯訪,針對今日院會議程、黨團提案等進行回應。
媒體提問,川普在造勢場合率先宣布,台灣已經同意未來20年內採購3成的阿拉斯加天然氣,另挹注44億美元(約新台幣1431億元)投資;經濟部長龔明鑫更透露台灣爭取到的價格「非常漂亮」,但南韓卻對這項計畫立場予以保留,詢問黨團看法。
「很不幸地,我們又是從報紙,甚至是從川普的造勢大會上,才知道這件事情」。民眾黨團幹事長、立委洪毓祥批評,台灣採購阿拉斯加天然氣的價格不透明,實際花的錢不是經濟部長單純用形容詞就能向社會大眾交代;針對44億美元管線建設,他亦抨擊這筆投資宛如「無底洞」。
洪毓祥另指出,行政院月前提出的追加預算中,兩千多億台幣是用在中油增資,外加1014億台幣撥補中油油價,他質疑,在中油財政如此惡化、負債比這麼高的情況下,「我真的不知道你哪來有44億的美金巨款,可以再拿來做投資,錢從哪裡來?」
直言如此重大的政策訊息,不該每次都讓台灣民眾、立法院透過川普的造勢大會、透過美國報紙等外部管道才得知;呼籲政府應透明、公開,更建議這類重大能源採購合約,應提早送至立法院,以利立委監督審核,確認計畫合理性。

The Taipei mayoral election televised debate is scheduled to be held on October 31. UMC founder Cao Xingcheng posted a message on Facebook suggesting that Shen Boyang cancel the debate with Chiang Wanan. He believed that Shen Boyang had already won a "real debate" in the exclusive interview with Blue Camp Media. Another debate may cause Chiang Wanan to jump over the wall, leaving ugly regrets in the high-level election.

The People's Party held a vigil in front of the Legislative Yuan to push for amendments to some provisions of the Elderly Welfare Law to subsidize the elderly over 65 years old from paying health insurance premiums. After negotiations between the government and the opposition broke through, Blue and White legislators passed the third reading with 60 votes in favor and 39 votes against. The People's Party used its deliberative skills to reject the review, and Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang warned that the cost may be passed on to people aged 15 to 64, with each person paying more than 3,000 yuan per year.

Shen Zhanli, spokesperson of the Ministry of Emergency Management, introduced at the quarterly press conference the specific measures taken by the State Council Office of Work Safety and the Ministry of Emergency Management to implement the spirit of the National Work Safety Video Conference, including conducting open and covert investigations, strict supervision and law enforcement, and deepening the root cause of key industries to prevent and contain major production safety accidents.

The ruling and opposition parties in the Legislative Yuan reached a consensus through consultation and decided to invite Executive President Zhuo Rongtai and the heads of relevant ministries and commissions to report on the preparation process of the 115-year central government general budget supplementary budget and prepare for questioning on October 23, and to report on the 116-year central government general budget on October 27. The number of people asking questions will be allocated proportionally to each party group. The Kuomintang and the Democratic Progressive Party each recommend 5 people, and the People's Party recommends 2 people. The order of questions will be handled by the deliberative office in accordance with the rules, and it is agreed not to propose a review.

Kuomintang Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Ke Zhien will hold the "Okay Take Off - Daganshan Victory Party" at 7 pm on the 16th next to the Gangshan River Embankment Park. Former Legislative Yuan Wang Jinping, New Taipei City Mayor Hou Youyi, Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan and other heavyweight guests will be invited to the platform. Hou Youyi and Lu Xiuyan also recorded videos to support Ke Zhien. Lu Xiuyan called Ke Zhien a good sister and called on fellow villagers to participate in the grand event. Ke Zhien Bidding Organizer stated that this was the second event of the "Three Mountains Campaign". The first event was held in Fengshan on September 19, attracting more than 30,000 supporters. Tomorrow, on the evening of the 17th, Legislative Yuan Han Guoyu will attend the "Temple Lecture" organized by Ke Zhien at Fengyi Palace in Xiaogang.

The Popular Caucus of the Legislative Yuan proposed amendments to the "Elderly Welfare Law", advocating that seniors over the age of 65 be exempted from paying health insurance premiums. Minister of Health and Welfare Shi Chongliang said that if the cost is passed on to people aged 15 to 64, each person will pay more than 3,000 yuan a year; if the cost is passed on to tax-paying families, each family will pay more than 8,000 yuan a year. He emphasized that health insurance should return to the spirit of spending according to capacity and mutual benefit, rather than supplementing premiums based on individual status.
