Why It Matters
People's Party founding chairman Ke Wenzhe went south to Kaohsiung to join forces with Kuomintang mayoral candidate Ke Zhien, triggering a strong response from Democratic Progressive Party candidate Lai Ruilong.
Ko Wenzhe, the founding chairman of the People's Party, went south to Kaohsiung today (3rd) to join forces with Ke Zhien, the Kaohsiung mayoral candidate of the Kuomintang. He criticized the mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, Lai Ruilong, for being "too easy to beat." He also named Ke Zhien to find People's Party Chairman Huang Guochang as the campaign director. In this regard, Lai Ruilong said in an interview that "Liang Ke" still does not understand the heart of Kaohsiung. What the people of Kaohsiung care most about is whether they can continue to move forward, not whether the fight is good or not.
Lai Ruilong emphasized that the election is not a question of whether it is successful or not. The election is about winning the support of the people and using vision and policies to win the support of the people. In the past period, he has held many vision briefing meetings, ranging from the construction of industry and transportation, from airports to seaports, from the construction of national highways to expressways, to the all-round promotion of social welfare. What the people want to see is how to continue the glory of Kaohsiung and the progress and prosperity of Kaohsiung through the efforts of previous mayors. This is the most critical issue.
Lai Ruilong pointed out that it is obvious that "Liang Ke" still does not understand Kaohsiung's heart. "Kaohsiung people care most about whether they can continue to move forward and how to move forward, rather than whether the fight is good or not." What Kaohsiung people care about is to continue to make Kaohsiung move forward, take over Mayor Chen Qimai, and allow Kaohsiung to continue to go global. This is the issue that Kaohsiung people are most concerned about.
As for Ko Wenzhe asking Ko Zhien to find Huang Guochang as the director-general of the campaign, Lai Ruilong pointed out, "Who to choose as director-general is not the core issue. The core issue is whether the candidate himself is truly in Kaohsiung and whether he has set his sights on Kaohsiung in the past."
He said that with his 10 years of experience in the city government, he has made every effort to strive for various large and small constructions in Kaohsiung to make Kaohsiung more prosperous. In the past 10 years, the legislator has also made every effort to fight for central resources to inject Kaohsiung. At the same time, he also assisted Mayor Chen Qimai in fighting for the entry of TSMC, the entry of the AI industry, and various major transportation constructions. These are the achievements of his efforts in the past 20 years.
Lai Ruilong criticized Ko Chi-en for not achieving any major achievements for Kaohsiung in the past four years, but the fiscal planning law has caused Kaohsiung to suffer heavy losses, costing Kaohsiung nearly 20 billion and increasing Taipei by 40 billion. This includes the budget for military purchases, including the total budget, etc., "Ke Chi-en has always stood with Huang Guochang and Fu Kunqi. How can you convince Kaohsiung citizens to vote for you?"
Lai said that including on the issue of cross-strait relations, Ke Zhien stood with Cheng Liwen. When he stood with President Lai Ching-te, Ke Zhien ran away and never dared to face reality. This was her biggest problem. She said one thing and did another, which was difficult to convince Kaohsiung citizens. "Kaohsiung citizens know very well who can lead Kaohsiung and all Kaohsiung citizens into the future!"
Open Questions
