彰化地檢署昨天(16日)指揮調查局人員,偵辦彰化縣議會於6月23日舉辦餐會的疑似「請吃選舉飯」案件,搜索9處並查扣證物。檢方認定彰化縣議會議長謝典霖(國民黨籍),其父母謝新隆、鄭汝芬(前國民黨立委)涉犯選罷法第99條第1項投票行賄罪嫌重大,有羈押必要,向法院聲請羈押,彰化地院裁定中。

檢方總共傳喚20人,除謝典霖母子3人外,還有服務處幹部劉男及議會幹部黃男,共計5人聲押,至於國民黨籍溪湖鎮長參選人陳貞妃,以及黃姓、陳姓等7人政治人物,分別以3萬至10萬元交保,其餘請回。

請繼續往下閱讀...

此案源於彰化縣議會於今年6月23日舉辦一場餐宴,被人質疑是國民黨籍議長謝典霖啟動「請客吃飯」選舉模式,替其表姑、國民黨溪湖鎮長參選人陳貞妃布局輔選,彰化地檢署昨天傳喚謝典霖及其父親謝新隆,以及陳貞妃與議會公務員約20人到案說明,這場餐宴席開十多桌,受邀出席者大都是溪湖地區政界人物,但當時尚未辦理領表登記,選舉登記本月4日截止後,出席的多人已具備參選人身份,檢方遂展開偵辦。

地方傳聞此餐會是謝典霖為國民黨溪湖鎮長參選人、也是其表姑陳貞妃助選,有溪湖地方里長、民代、農會幹部等人出席。行政院中部辦公室副執行長吳音寧7月1日質疑,「十幾桌吃吃喝喝,花的是謝典霖的錢,還是議長的特支費?」,不過,當時謝典霖本人與服務處都宣稱,這是單純的地方人士參訪交流,餐敘費用由服務處支應;縣議會則強調,餐會未動用議會預算、議長特別費或其他公務經費。

議會請吃選舉飯,檢方開始調查。(民眾提供)

Zhang Jingsen questioned the Taipei Civil Affairs Bureau's handling of Chiang Wanan's bloodline issue and demanded an investigation in accordance with the law

Former Executive Yuan political commissar Zhang Jingsen posted consecutive posts on Facebook questioning the Taipei Civil Affairs Bureau and the Ministry of Interior's handling of the Chiang Wanan bloodline dispute. He pointed out that the two agencies did not proactively investigate whether the new information was sufficient to cancel the household registration in accordance with the Administrative Procedure Law and the Household Registration Law. They only responded to the individual application process and did not respond to the government's responsibilities. He also emphasized that the evidence and review process of the year should be reviewed first.

Hsiao Meiqin's low-key visit to Taiwan to participate in the European Parliament Forum highlights Taiwan's use of international organizations to break through diplomatic isolation

Taiwan Vice President Hsiao Meiqin arrived in Ventotene, Italy, in a low-key manner last week to attend the Forum on Freedom and Democracy hosted by the European Parliament. This trip took place on the eve of the US-China summit in Washington at the end of September. Taiwan tried to bypass the restrictions of the one-China policy and expand its international space through the invitation of the European Parliament, a non-sovereign organization. The entire trip was kept confidential, took 27 hours, and did not meet with Italian government officials. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs strongly condemned and lodged representations with Italy and the European Union. Representatives of the European Commission temporarily canceled their attendance and removed their flags, highlighting the sensitivity and limitations of Taiwan-EU interactions. Scholars point out that although this diplomatic approach through the legislative branch rather than the executive branch is niche, it provides Taiwan with a channel to participate in international forums that is less susceptible to pressure from China.
