In response to the fact that Zhou Xiaoyun, the Taoyuan City Council candidate of the Kuomintang Party, was investigated, searched and interviewed for allegedly violating the Anti-Infiltration Law and was released on bail of NT$500,000. People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang said in an interview in front of the People's Party Action Standing Committee in Miaoli this afternoon (11th) that judicial investigation should not be a tool for political parties to intervene in elections.
Huang Guochang said that he was very surprised and difficult to understand this incident. An unusual group trip for Lions club presidents in September last year resulted in a sudden search being launched less than three weeks before the vote. "What is the purpose of this?"
Huang Guochang pointed out that what is even more distressing is that the New Taipei District Prosecutor's Office issued a special press release yesterday, emphasizing that the investigation will not be made public. As a result, all kinds of bizarre and strange stories began to appear through specific media, "Excuse me, what kind of investigation is this that is not open to the public?" What the public saw was Taiwan's judicial investigation, which was so brilliant just a few days before the voting day. "What kind of value is to be achieved?"
Huang Guochang said that in the past few years, the credibility of the judiciary has become less and less trustworthy by the people. I believe everyone feels very deeply. He believes that during the election process, what judicial prosecutors should do is to maintain their own impartiality and professionalism, rather than becoming a tool for political parties to interfere in the election.
