北京视台湾为领土一部分并反对其高层出访。萧美琴此前曾访问捷克和比利时。
台湾总统府周五(9月11日)发布消息,台湾副总统萧美琴已抵达意大利出席一个论坛活动,该行程此前一直处于保密状态。台湾外交部长林佳龙随行前往。
总统府发言人郭雅慧在一份声明中证实了这次行程,并告知萧美琴将出席在文托泰内(Ventotene)小岛举行的第二届“文托泰内欧洲自由与民主论坛”。文托泰内岛距离意大利大陆约46公里,岛上人口约700人。
据德新社消息,俄罗斯政府最严厉的批评者之一纳瓦尔娜亚(Yulia Navalnaya)以及白俄罗斯反对派领袖季哈诺夫斯卡娅(Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya)等知名活动人士,都将出席此次为期三天的会议。欧洲议会意大利籍副议长、论坛发起人皮切尔诺(Pina Picierno)主持本次持续到周六的会议。
皮切尔诺在周四(9月10日)会议开幕时,公开了萧美琴的访问计划,她表示,此前之所以保密,是因为中国对台湾政要出访发出威胁言论。
据意大利安莎通讯社报道,皮切尔诺说,“我很高兴地宣布,台湾副总统萧美琴刚抵达文托泰内岛。我们非常荣幸能邀请您莅临我们的自由与民主论坛。"
皮切尔诺在脸书上发布的一段视频中,表示“没有人能决定,谁可以在文托泰内受到接待,谁不可以,”尤其是不允许像中国这样的政权做出此类决定。她认为,萧美琴的访问发出一个“非常重要的信息”。
皮切尔诺是“对华政策跨国议会联盟”(IPAC)的成员,曾于2024年在台湾出席该组织的年度会议,当时副总统萧美琴曾会见议员。IPAC有来自35个国家的约250名成员,以对北京立场强硬著称。
北京视台湾为中国不可分割的一部分,萧美琴所属的执政党民进党因其独立主张,更是被视为分裂势力。北京一直以来谋求国家统一,声称不放弃动用武力收复台湾。跟许多国家一样,意大利与台湾没有正式外交关系。中国外交部发言人毛宁周五在例行记者会上表示,已向欧方和意大利提出了严正交涉。
这是萧美琴2024年大选获胜以来,以台湾副总统身份第三次访问欧洲,有台湾媒体称之为“外交重大突破”。2024年3月萧美琴曾以候任副总统身份,访问了布拉格;2025年11月作客于布鲁塞尔。
在布拉格访问期间,中国特工曾跟踪萧美琴的车队,险些引发相撞事故。据捷克国际广播电台报道,后来捷克军情部门确认,中国方面希望破坏萧美琴的访问行程。
长期以来,台湾希望通过高层互访和议会交流深化台欧关系。但是,中国反对台湾高层官员进行正式的海外访问,试图通过威胁施压手段压缩这类访问的影响力。
