As the election polling day approaches, Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan recently joined a live broadcast with members of the Popular Party, not only betting on "having a fourth child after the election next year", but also saying that "someone's embarrassment will arouse fighting spirit", sparking discussion. In this regard, Fan Yunjin, secretary-general of the Democratic Progressive Party of the Legislative Yuan, expressed respect today (12th), but hoped that Jiang Wanan had discussed it with his wife Shi Fanggen first; Secretary-General Zhuang Ruixiong couldn't bear to question: "Is there anyone who is betting on having children?"
Zhuang Ruixiong and Fan Yun accepted a joint interview at the Legislative Yuan this morning. The media inquired about the bet between Jiang Wanan and Congressman Bai Ying to have a child. Zhuang Ruixiong exclaimed, "I shouldn't answer this. Are there any gamblers who are betting on having children? You women should answer this." Fan Yunze said that he respects Jiang Wanan's choice in childbearing and only hopes that he has discussed this issue with his wife before he gambles with others outside.
In addition, when Chiang Wanzhe was running for mayor of Taipei in the past, he criticized Ko Wenzhe for being too slow in building social housing during his tenure. However, yesterday in a live broadcast, he praised Ko for "laying the foundation for the construction of social housing in Taipei City." Zhuang Ruixiong said that Jiang Wanan is praising Ke Wenzhe now because the election situation is very dangerous. He hopes that Blue and White will combine and Xiaocao will come to rescue him quickly and do everything possible to introduce Xiaocao's votes into Jiang Wanan's camp.
However, Zhuang Ruixiong also said that Ko Wenzhe's core values are "rationality, pragmatism, and science." Xiaocao is particularly loyal to Ke Wenzhe, and Jiang Wanan is now echoing Ke Wenzhe. Xiaocao must think that this is unscientific and vote fraud; it is irrational to support Jiang Wanzhe without testing his administration for the past four years; Jiang Wanan is now defecting randomly, is not pragmatic, and cannot pass the standards set by Ke Wenzhe.
Zhuang Ruixiong believes that the most important thing for Chiang Wanan right now is to give a good answer on his past political achievements and whether his budget policies attract Taipei citizens? If we don't make it clear now, this round will be very stressful.
