國民黨宜蘭縣長參選人吳宗憲陣營近日抨擊民進黨參選人林國漳,緊咬過去擔任律師時曾替性侵、詐欺等重大刑案被告辯護,質疑其「公益律師」的「人設」。面對藍營狂潑政治髒水,民眾黨創黨主席柯文哲今天(26日)受訪時聲援「這沒有什麼奇怪的地方」,舉過去連勝文、邵曉鈴到台大醫院就醫為例,強調「醫生不會挑病人,律師自然也不會挑委託人」!

選戰倒數,藍綠白陣營針對律師承辦案件大打政治攻防,部分民代連日大動作,抨擊林國漳過去的辯護紀錄,引發地方對「公益律師」定位的爭議。不過法界人士多認為,爭論雖可繼續,但法治社會的底線應當守住,即「律師的辯護,絕不等於認同被告行為」。

請繼續往下閱讀...

針對政敵攻擊林國漳曾替重大刑事案件被告辯護一事,柯文哲今天受訪時直言「這沒有什麼奇怪的地方!」以前他在台大當醫生的時候,胡志強的老婆邵曉鈴需要裝葉克膜,他也去支援,連勝文中槍,那時候他是創傷醫學部主任,阿扁身心症,他還是醫療小組召集人。

柯文哲說,人家問他是藍的還是綠的?但對他來說,「他們」都是病人,對律師來講,「他們」就是被告,這有什麼好挑的?這種事情不需要討論,雖然他不清楚案件的細節,不過覺得就好像醫生也沒有去挑病人,來就是病人嘛!那對律師來講,本來就是被告嘛!就是那種法律的委託人,所以他覺得這也沒什麼奇怪的地方。

Zhu Lilun's Keelung assistant election affirmed Xie Guoliang's policies and emphasized that pragmatism is better than temporary fads

Zhu Lilun, former chairman of the Kuomintang, went to Keelung on the 26th to start the first auxiliary election of this year. He accompanied Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang to Qidu Nanxing Market to vote. Zhu Lilun affirmed the achievements of Xie Guoliang's governance, saying that he was visionary, caring and empathetic, and emphasized that the most important thing is to truly do a good job in municipal administration. Temporary winds and temporary fluctuations can only have short-term effects. He said that during the election process, opponents created conflicts, but Xie Guoliang resolved them with tolerance and love, making him the best choice for Keelung citizens. Regarding whether the ocean current in Taipei City will spread to Keelung, Zhu Lilun believes that coined terms are not important, and pragmatic voting is the key. I feel sad that the Hsinchu Blue and White partnership broke up, but I said that Keelung is a model of the Blue and White partnership. Xie Guoliang can resolve the problem by being more tolerant and loving and less conflicting. Xie Guoliang thanked Zhu Lilun for leaving the first auxiliary election to Keelung, calling him an important senior and learning object, and recalled that Zhu Lilun came to Keelung many times to cheer and give encouragement and affirmation during the recall period in 2024.

The issue of arms sales behind the scenes of the meeting between Trump and Xi Jinping attracted attention, and experts from US think tanks analyzed China’s intention to gain the right to speak.

The U.S. Congress has passed a $14 billion arms sales package to Taiwan, but the White House has not yet approved it. Ken Moriyasu, a senior researcher at the Hudson Institute in Washington, pointed out that China is trying to influence U.S. decision-making by threatening to cancel the Trump-Xi meeting. But in fact, the Trump administration agreed to US$11 billion in arms sales to Taiwan last year. If cooperation on Iran and Ukraine cannot be reached before the end of December, Trump may conduct arms sales. This move does not constitute a message of abandoning Taiwan.
