The KMT caucus of the Legislative Yuan held a press conference today and named the Taichung mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party He Xinchun. He was either absent or opposed in the face of major livelihood bills such as the elderly health insurance subsidy and universal cash payment. Zhou Yonghong, executive director of He Xinchun's campaign headquarters and chief convener of the DPP caucus of the Taichung City Council, criticized the KMT for indiscriminately amending laws and defrauding votes. If there are no rumors, there will be no election. If Jiang Qichen does not smear, there will be no election.
Legislator Wang Yumin responded by saying that this is not a question of smearing and spreading rumors at all. When the old Fufa Central Committee voted, He Xinchun did not vote at all. If she supports the elderly health insurance, she should have the courage to vote, and universal cash also voted against it. These are all facts. Strong Those who want to compete for the mayor of Taichung in the future should actively fight for any funding from the central government. It is a pity to see that Mayor He Xinchun does not dare to defy the party's will, and does not dare to fight for things that the DPP does not do. This is the ironclad fact.
Secretary-General of the Kuomintang League of the Legislative Yuan Hsu Yu-chen, together with legislators Wang Yu-min and Huang Jian-hao, held a press conference today to name He Xinchun, the Taichung mayoral candidate of the Democratic Progressive Party. Checks were written all over the sky before the election, but when faced with taking care of the elders, reducing the burden on the youth, and facing major livelihood bills such as health insurance subsidies for the elderly, subsidies for old farmers, and universal cash, they were either absent or opposed. They criticized politicians with double standards who "talk like a dustpan but do nothing with a spoon." Why should Taichung citizens believe it?
Zhou Yonghong said that Wang Yumin's smear campaign against He Xinchun has been escalated to the central government. The Legislative Yuan caucus held a press conference and emphasized that health insurance subsidies for the elderly are already being implemented in most counties and cities across Taiwan. The fiscal expenditures are borne by local governments. The KMT's amendment to the law is only to ask the central government to pay for local fiscal expenditures. The Taichung City Government and other budgets have already been compiled and are already being implemented, so there is no purpose or meaning to oppose.
Zhou Yonghong criticized the Kuomintang's formulation as a straw man. The point is that the Kuomintang amends the law indiscriminately and uses the means of amending the law to defraud votes. The Kuomintang should stop it in moderation and stop asking local governments to treat guests and the central government to foot the bill. If this matter is really that important, Lu Xiu Yan can do it now. It is more important to increase the budget and use the 400 million yuan budget for the eight-year shopping festival each year to subsidize more elderly people. He hopes that the Kuomintang will stop using smear methods to defraud votes and questions Jiang Qichen. If he does not smear, will there be no elections?
