Li Sichuan questioned the central government's deletion of the New Taipei MRT subsidy: Since it is not a cent less, why not give it now?

KMT New Taipei mayor candidate Li Sichuan said today that the central government had promised subsidies, but the city government's application was deleted based on progress.

The New Taipei City mayoral election campaign is heating up, with blue and green continuing to attack and defend against cuts to universal cash and MRT budgets. KMT candidate Li Sichuan hit back in an interview today. The central government had promised subsidies, but the city government's application was deleted based on the progress. Since there is not a penny less, "why not give it now?" The progress of the project urgently requires budgetary support, and he called on Su to use coordination to urge the central government to allocate funds as soon as possible.

President Lai Qingde said that the NT$10,000 universal payment was the result of DPP candidate Su Qiaohui's suggestion. Li Sichuan was interviewed in an exclusive interview yesterday. It is better to first allocate the 5.41 billion New Taipei MRT money that has been cut. Su went to Ruifang to worship at the temple today and said that not a cent would be missing. Before Li Sichuan went to Bali at noon to participate in the "Bridge Sees Happiness. Pomelo Meets Bali" pomelo-flavored food banquet, he was asked about this by the media.

Li Sichuan pointed out that the central government had already agreed to subsidize the 5.41 billion yuan project fund for the New Taipei City MRT, and the New Taipei City Government was applying according to the progress. Logically speaking, New Taipei City has already submitted such an application, and the central government has no reason to delete it. Since Su Qiaohui has always said that "not a cent will be missing," why can't it be given now? They felt very strange because the progress of the project must be supported by a budget. They hoped that Su Qiaohui would use her coordination skills to ask the central government to allocate the money to New Taipei City as soon as possible.

The media asked why the youth group declined to hold a forum for candidates from the two countries. Li Sichuan responded that he was grateful to the organizer for the invitation, because he probably could not cooperate with the schedule during the time of booking, and the bid clearly stated it. For example, a few days ago he went to Taipei University in Sanxia to communicate with many young students. They put forward many young people's views and opinions, and he answered them one by one. In the future, he will continue to put forward political opinions related to youth.
