Executive Director Zhuo Rongtai said yesterday when he was supporting DPP New Taipei City mayor candidate Su Qiaohui that KMT New Taipei mayor candidate Li Sichuan's experience in Kaohsiung was to help former Kaohsiung mayor Han Kuo-yu be dismissed. Li Sichuan and People's Party Huang Guochang were both interviewed today and asked Zhuo Rongtai why he blocked the health insurance subsidy for New Taipei elders? Li also pointed out that the folks in Kaohsiung often told him that they missed communicating with the street lights and water, and that they blocked health insurance subsidies and the Su Qiaohui family was accused of profiting from investment subsidies. Zhuo Rongtai and Su Qiaohui both wanted to say sorry to the elders of New Taipei.

Li Sichuan and Huang Guochang attended the first interview before the establishment of the joint campaign headquarters of New Taipei City Councilor Chen Mingyi today. Zhuo Rongtai mentioned that Li Sichuan's experience in Kaohsiung helped Han Guoyu be dismissed. Li Sichuan's campaign office fired back. Zhuo and Su are politicians who have joined forces to block the elderly health insurance subsidies.

Li Sichuan responded to this when interviewed. He thanked Zhuo Rongtai for his advice. He said that the governance of politicians does not depend on the length of time. Although they were in Kaohsiung for only a year and a half, when they returned to Kaohsiung, they often heard Kaohsiung folks tell him that they still miss the smooth roads, bright lights and water connections.

He also said that Zhuo Rongtai blocked the health insurance subsidy for more than 800,000 elders in New Taipei City. Yesterday, he asked New Taipei citizens to support Su Qiaohui. He wanted to ask Zhuo Rongtai, why he only had elections in mind but blocked the rights and interests of more than 800,000 elders in New Taipei City? Do you have the people in your heart? He also asked Su Qiaohui why she didn't dare to say a word for the elders in New Taipei City in front of Zhuo Rongtai?

Li also asked Zhuo Rongtai, the Su Qiaohui family can receive more than 40 million yuan in investment and subsidies from the government, but he is not willing to receive a few hundred yuan per month in health insurance subsidies for his elders. Is this fair? He believed that both Dean Zhuo Rongtai and Su Qiaohui should say sorry to the elders in New Taipei City.

Huang Guochang said, I would like to ask Zhuo Rongtai, why can the elderly in Taipei City receive health insurance subsidies, but not New Taipei City? He came to New Taipei yesterday to support Su Qiaohui. Should he explain to the elders in New Taipei why he blocked the amendment of the "Elderly Welfare Act" and blocked such a good welfare policy for the elderly in New Taipei?
