The Taichung City Council will enter a 10-day municipal general inquiry tomorrow (16th), which will be the last general inquiry during the term of Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan. Lu Xiuyan’s recent sharp remarks, such as saying that President Lai Ching-te “pays too much attention to me” and “wanting to be an opposition alliance” have made DPP members dissatisfied. At the same time as the city council election is taking place, it is foreseeable that the general inquiry will be loud.
Mayor Lu Xiuyan has served as mayor for two terms, so she can no longer run for election. The 10-day general inquiry that starts tomorrow will be the last time in the mayor's term. Since the outside world believes that Lu Xiuyan has the intention to run for president, she has not only expressed her views on political issues frequently in the past two years, but also sharply questioned Democratic Progressive Party members in the parliament. She no longer backed down like she did during her first term.

In addition, as the nine-in-one election approaches at the end of the year, the confrontation between blue and green has become more serious. President Lai Qingde unceremoniously criticized Lu Xiuyan for her poor municipal performance. Lu Xiuyan also responded that the president paid too much attention to her and even proposed a grand alliance of opposition parties. This caused dissatisfaction among DPP legislators and ridiculed them on Facebook. Tomorrow is Lu Xiuyan’s municipal general question, which is a good opportunity for the parliamentarians to perform. Everyone has already sharpened their knives and can already expect the roar of cannons.
However, since there are many city councilors who are not re-elected this term, such as senior councilors Zhang Chengfen, Chen Chengtian, Luo Yongzhen, and Lin Haoyou, who only serves for one term, the general question of the council will also have a farewell and warm scene.
