Former Vice President Annette Annette attended the "Single Mother Entrepreneurship Assistance Association" event today (12th) and was present together with Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan. However, the two attended one after another and were not in the same frame. Jiang Wanan arrived first and delivered a speech, and then left. Annette Lu took the stage to deliver a speech. The two parties did not interact on the same stage. It is not yet confirmed whether the schedule was deliberately staggered. In addition, former Chairman of the People's Party Ke Wenzhe and Chairman of the People's Party James Soong, who were originally invited to attend, also did not show up.
In his speech, Jiang Wanan said that he was very grateful to the association for taking care of single mothers for a long time and accompanying them through low moments and overcoming life challenges. He said that the outside world always thinks that mothers are omnipotent, but mothers also need care and support when they are tired and vulnerable.
Jiang Wanan also detailed the city government's childcare policies, pointing out that the number of temporary childcare centers has increased from 4 to 45 before taking office, an increase of more than 11 times. In addition, public care and quasi-public care for the second child are free, and measures such as reducing working hours for childcare families and receiving government subsidies have been introduced. He said that, especially for single mothers who lack support, being able to pick up their children from get off work early, buy groceries and accompany their children to eat is a very practical help, and the city government will continue to cooperate with the federation in the future.
Annette Annette took the stage after Jiang Wanan left the stage and talked about the recent controversy over Luo Dayou's comments about female politicians because they were unmarried and had no children. When asked by the media earlier, she simply said: "I didn't come here for this" and then left the interview area; however, in her speech, she made a point of saying that politicians care not only about their own children, but all children, and they should not judge whether they are qualified to be in politics just because they have children. She bluntly said that this concept is "too narrow and too chauvinistic. It's time to say goodbye to that era."
The last time Annette Ann attended an event in public was the National Day Ceremony on October 10. At that time, she attended the ceremony as the outgoing vice president and did not give a public speech. Today, she spoke publicly again about a month later.
