辜寬敏基金會在二二八國家紀念館舉辦紀念特展,回顧海外台獨運動與台灣民主化歷程。
辜寬敏基金會今日在二二八國家紀念館舉辦《反抗者—辜寬敏與他們的革命時代》紀念特展開幕式,沿著辜寬敏先生的生命軌跡,回顧海外台獨運動與台灣民主化的波瀾壯闊。前總統府資政、鄭南榕遺孀葉菊蘭今出席與會時說,台灣人是勇敢的,希望年輕的一輩能理解過去,接下來面對的是更殘暴的中國,她看到民進黨台北市長參選人是另一個希望,盼他能選上台北市長。
葉菊蘭致詞時指出,現在的年輕人,把自由民主視作空氣一樣理所當然,沒有去深入了解,為何台灣可以得到現在的自由、民主、平等、講自己想講的話。從辜寬敏特展中,可以看到辜寬敏從日本回到台灣,在每個階段,對抗國民黨的威權、爭取台灣主權獨立、希望制定新的憲法。
「辜寬敏就像我的兄長一樣!」葉菊蘭回顧,1989年,她首次參選立委選舉時,沒有人願意將場地借給她,辜先生就借給她游泳池,還將水抽乾,弄成一個舞台。辜寬敏支持眾多年輕政治人物,盼台灣能成為一個自由民主的國家。
葉菊蘭說,台灣好像今天已經自由民主了,但對年輕人來說,現在要面對、反抗的對象是隔壁的惡霸鄰居中國,他們用軍事武力威嚇、認知戰、資訊戰欲瓦解台灣內部,相信辜先生在的話,也會呼籲大家要持續努力。
「辜寬敏是一個浪漫的反抗者,」葉菊蘭表示,用他的一生,用盡他的財富、金錢、時間、精神鼓勵所有的後輩,「我的先生鄭南榕也是個浪漫的反抗者,用他的生命作為武器,去反抗威權。」
葉菊蘭強調,台灣人是勇敢的,希望年輕的一輩能理解過去,然後來談將來,因為面對的敵人是更殘暴、獨裁、霸權的中國共產政權。「我們應該有更多的智慧,想想現在的該怎麼做,我看到沈伯洋好像是我們另一個希望,盼他能選上台北市長。」

The Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council of China announced that it will punish the "VWAY" company owned by the father of Shen Boyang, the Taipei mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party, and prohibit transactions with Chinese companies and individuals. Mainland Affairs Council spokesman Liang Wenjie responded today, saying that the CCP’s move is a naked intervention in the Taipei mayoral election. It is not only illogical, but also a disservice.

Pro-communist Hong Kong media accused Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang's father Shen Tucheng of changing the name of a company after being punished by China, and the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council announced the punishment. Peggy Chen, wife of former Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe, issued an article questioning whether prosecutors should search and detain Shen’s father’s company, and questioned whether red money should be used to support the election.

A Chinese exchange student used the camera angle to create a distorted image of President Lai Ching-te pinching his head during an event at National Taiwan University, and posted a post threatening to "take it down." Mainland Affairs Council spokesman Liang Wenjie said that the report had been received and that if the principle of reciprocity and dignity was violated, the Immigration Department could revoke or annul the permit.

Former Overseas Chinese Affairs Council chairman Xu Jiaqing resigned after his family members were accused of abusing official resources. Li Yanhui, acting chairperson of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Council, said on the 15th that he had set up a task force to investigate, but the deadline for responding to legislators' inquiries would never exceed one year, triggering criticism from the opposition parties that the timeline was unclear.

The Ministry of Interior held a ministry meeting on the 15th to review the results of this year’s National Day Disaster Prevention Parade. Minister Liu Shifang said that this parade brought together more than 2,500 disaster prevention fighters from five echelons to perform, demonstrating the achievements of the national disaster prevention policy. The Ministry of Interior aims to train 200,000 disaster prevention personnel this year and will strive to train 400,000 disaster prevention personnel next year.

Scott Scott, president of the Canadian Taiwanese Parliamentarians Friendship Association, led a delegation to visit the Legislative Yuan and met with Legislative President Han Kuo-yu and legislators from both the ruling and opposition parties. Han Kuo-yu hopes that Canada will expand its investment in Taiwan and welcomes Canadian businesses to invest in Taiwan's AI and drone industries. Scott Scott emphasized that Taiwan and Canada share democratic values and hopes to deepen parliamentary exchanges and economic cooperation.
