Li Wenjuan and Duan Muzheng plead guilty in the second trial of the Mu Ke case. Ke Wenzhe criticized judicial double standards, "This is not a confession but an admission of defeat."

During the second instance of former Taipei Mayor Ke Wenzhe's case involving Beijing City and political donations, Muco Public Relations Manager Li Wenjuan and accountant Duan Muzheng both changed their pleas and pleaded guilty. On the 11th, Taiwan's High Court ruled to revoke the daily monitoring of technological equipment for the two. During an interview on the 12th, Ko expressed his grievances for the two men and criticized the judiciary for being reduced to a political tool. Ke bluntly said that Li Wenjuan's full admission "is not a confession, it is an admission of defeat." He also severely criticized the double standards, judicial collusion with the media and other chaos under the Democratic Progressive Party, which undermined the foundation of Taiwan's democratic politics.

The Kuomintang Party’s nationwide car sweep this morning was led by Party Chairman Huang Guochang and Party Founding Chairman Ke Wenzhe, respectively, leading the “People’s Number” and “Taiwan Number” convoys, starting from Zhubei City. This morning, I received a joint interview with the media before departing from Tianhou Temple in Zhubei.

Speaking of Duanmuzheng, Ke Wenzhe said in an interview that the only problem with Duanmuzheng was that he acted expeditiously. He emphasized that there was no problem with the total amount. Duanmuzheng did not embezzle public welfare, nor did he put the money into his own pocket. He had no criminal intent at all. At that time, it was because the political donation account had an influx of 180,000 donations, which was too large to handle. It acted expediently and adjusted the accounts on its own under time constraints. As a result, it was used by the DPP to expand indefinitely, and it evolved into today's judicial case.

As for Li Wenjuan, Ke Wenzhe said that he felt quite ironic in his heart. Judicial fairness and justice should really be reflected in the protection of the vulnerable. Li Wenjuan is not a decision-maker in the team, but she suffered tremendous torture during this period. Not only was she unable to work normally and her life was in chaos, she also had to face huge legal fees and daily technological monitoring and reporting. It is really unbearable for a middle-aged woman in the society. Therefore, during the trial, Li Wenjuan pleaded guilty regardless of whether the first-instance judge found guilty or not guilty. He believed that this was a "reverse plea". As long as the prosecutor prosecuted, he would admit everything and had no choice but to bow to reality.

Ke Wenzhe emphasized that a fair and just judiciary is the foundation of democratic politics. The judiciary should be the country’s last line of defense and gain the trust of the people. However, many recent cases have made people feel that the judiciary's double standards, excessive cases, and political manipulation have not only undermined the foundation of democratic politics, but also caused the loss of checks, balances, and arbiters between the executive and the legislative, leading to chaos in the operation of the entire country. Finally, he lamented that there are only two weeks left before the election, and many serious issues cannot be fully discussed in a short period of time. However, how to reshape fair justice after the election will be the most important issue in Taiwan's political future.
