The Democratic Progressive Party's Taitung County Mayor candidate Chen Ying's campaign headquarters yesterday publicly questioned Kuomintang candidate Wu Xiuhua's family's involvement in a number of controversies including farm road construction, illegal development of hillside land, interests in the Zhanqian City Land Rezoning Committee, and her husband's long-term use of parliamentary space. Wu Xiuhua's campaign headquarters refuted and said they would file a lawsuit. Chen Yingjing's spokesperson team today pointed out that Wu's response still avoids important issues, especially when facing the controversy over the illegal development of "Toyama Anyang Center" and being fined by the county government, claiming that everything is legal; the "Zhanqian City Land Rezoning" controversy unexpectedly exposed the Wu family's "group purchase of public land", and the controversy became darker and darker!
Wu Xiuhua, President of the Competition, responded that relevant matters have been fully explained. There should be more important things in the election that deserve everyone's attention. Stop creating controversy and political squabbles. Please bring the focus back to Taitung's future, policies and political opinions. We hope that the election will return to a positive campaign and allow candidates to accept the test of public opinion with their political opinions, ideas and actions. This is the election that county residents are most looking forward to seeing.
Jian Weiguo, spokesman for Chen Yingjing, said that Wu Xiuhua, the president of Jingwang, claimed that Gao Wang Xiuyong could only allocate 58 square meters after the rezoning of the "Taitung Station City Land Rezoning Case". He tried to deny the doubts about benefiting from the land because of the small area, but instead exposed the problem of "group purchase of publicly protected land"! According to relevant land information, Gao Wang Xiuyong purchased 4 public facility reservations with a total area of about 7,000 square meters. Gao Wang Xiuyong held a share of 552/10,000, and 8 people shared the share; Wu Junli and Zhong Jiacun, who also purchased land No. 370 in the Yonghe Section, also shared the share; Kuang Lizhen purchased land in the 398 and so on in the Yonghe Section, and up to 16 people participated in the group purchase (shared shares).
Spokesperson Wang Taijie questioned that the land that the Wu family had invested in many times in the past was all held individually. Even the 7.4 hectares of land in Dongying Resort did not appear to be "group-purchased land." With the financial resources of the Wu family, why did the Wu family redraw the area in front of the station and adopt the method of multiple people holding shares to purchase publicly protected land? Moreover, there are cases where multiple people registered at the same address and jointly held shares of multiple land parcels. Is this special model of "group purchase of publicly protected land" nothing more than to increase the number of landowners and influence the organization and decision-making considerations of the redistricting committee?
Chen Jinxi pointed out that Wu Xiuhua's campaign headquarters claimed that the water and soil conservation-related operations of the "Fushan Beautiful Seaview Recreation Center" were completely legal. However, the development project was fined NT$150,000 for violating the soil and water conservation law in 2016. This year, it was fined NT$60,000 for illegal land preparation, totaling NT$210,000. How can it be dismissed as "completely legal"?
Chen Xuanyu said that in addition to the rezoning of Fushan Nursing Center and Zhanqian City, Wu Xiuhua’s husband Gao Wang Xiuyong has long used the Taitung County Council’s “Confidential Secretary’s Room” to place personal teapots and items. Does this involve private use of public space? Why doesn’t Wu Xiuhua, the president-elect, explain directly?
