Wu Siyao confirmed that many ocean current charter boats were canceled due to official documents. The New Taipei City Government responded: Where is the pressure?

The New Taipei City Government stated that after receiving inquiries from the security inspection station and fishermen’s associations about the regulations on recreational fishing boats, the Agriculture Bureau issued a document stating regulations such as routes. The same document was sent to all fishermen’s associations under the city’s jurisdiction, which is a normal administrative operation. Schematic diagram. (Photo by reporter Huang Ziyang)

The 15th is the final event of the "Taipei Ocean Current" of Democratic Progressive Party Taipei Mayor candidate Shen Boyang in Shilin Beitou. Many small water droplets are planning to charter a water and land conference. Yesterday (13th) it was reported that the New Taipei City Agriculture Bureau issued a letter to the Tamsui District Fisheries Association to remind operators to abide by the fishery laws. Shen Boyang's campaign director-general Wu Siyao confirmed today (14th) that many ships were canceled due to this. The New Taipei City Government stated that after receiving inquiries from the security inspection station and fishermen’s associations about the regulations on recreational fishing boats, the Agriculture Bureau issued a document stating regulations such as routes. The same document was sent to all fishermen’s associations under the city’s jurisdiction, which is a normal administrative operation.

The timing of the New Taipei City Government's drafting of the document has been questioned by the outside world as being sensitive and suspected of exerting pressure. The New Taipei City Government has solemnly pointed out that regardless of any water activities, abiding by laws and regulations and maintaining public safety should be the basic principles. How can there be pressure? The content of the official document clearly states in black and white the relevant regulations for the passenger capacity and routes of recreational fishing boats. Since we have continuously received inquiries from the security inspection station and the fishermen's association, of course we will respond as soon as possible. If the time of issuing the document is sensitive before the election, is it possible that the municipal government will be shut down before the voting day? There is no need to discredit civil servants for elections.
