新竹市棒球場經有心人檢舉有弊案,前市長林智堅及前市府相關人員經過四年的心理煎熬,前日終獲法院不起訴處分。從市長選舉期間爆發的棒球場揭發舞弊事件,到現在又快要新任市長的選舉,林智堅市長總算得到執政上清白的澄清,然而這整起政治抹黑事件已經造成林智堅人格上的傷害,以及他個人的政治生涯的發展,甚至影響了當時新竹市長的選舉。

臺灣現在的民主發展面臨的最大危機,就是政治人物常受到不實的指控,人格的抹煞,以及政府在施政上,不同政黨甚至來自國家外部因素的滲透,全面性,目的性,計劃性的特定打壓。先造成社會大眾的既有印象,產生對政治人物清白的懷疑,以致於產生政治支持度上的動搖。畢竟人民能獲得的資訊有限,經特定政治勢力的抹黑與造謠,加上媒體的推波助瀾,渲染傳播,最後影響到選舉的結果。把白的說成黑的,把謊言包裝成事實,造成當事人的傷害後,透過司法還給清白的日子又遙遙無期,等到真相大白的時候,不僅無法扭轉民眾的既有觀感,又對當事人生涯造成無法修復的重大影響。

民主制度最大的威脅並不是來自於外部的敵人,而是來自於內部的分化傾扎,對實際政治局勢的錯誤判斷,以至於混亂政治上清明的事實,造成人民無法透過選舉選出適當的人民公僕。有心人為了影響選情,散播的不實訊息,慢慢侵蝕到人民政治上的正確判斷。

民主制度最大的救星就是要靠教育,教育不是只有培養學生知識與技能,更重要的是理性的判斷能力。如何成為一個具備客觀理性上判斷力的社會公民,正確的實踐自己的政治參與權利,不受到惡意訊息的干擾,能夠秉持實事求是,毋枉無縱的洞察力,這是透過教育應該要培養學生的必要素養。

In an interview with media person Huang Weihan, Executive President Zhuo Rongtai said that in the face of unconstitutional legislative amendments passed by the Legislative Yuan, the President has no means of checks and balances, and can only be checked and balanced by the Executive President exercising the power of non-countersigning. He explained that this power originated from Article 37 of the Constitution, and pointed out that after the 1997 amendment to the constitution eliminated the parliamentary cabinet’s consent power, the executive president was no longer able to check and balance the president, so he needed to maintain constitutional order by not countersigning. This remark triggered polarized discussions among netizens. Supporters believed that it was to safeguard the constitution, while skeptics worried that this move would distort the democratic system and the expression of public opinion.
