民進黨立委吳思瑤今透過臉書發文稱,國民黨立委徐巧芯、翁曉玲提案刪減外交部媒宣費預算1.04億元。對此,徐巧芯反擊該案並非她所提,怒轟吳思瑤散播完全錯誤的訊息,要求立即更正錯誤說法,並向社會大眾說明真相、公開道歉。隨後吳思瑤已緊急將臉書內容更正為馬文君與翁曉玲提案,並向徐巧芯致歉。

吳思瑤今透過臉書指出,徐巧芯、翁曉玲提案刪減外交部媒宣費1.04億元,等於把外交部向國際發聲的經費全砍光。台灣真實、正確的聲音被封口噤聲,只剩國民黨鄭麗文這種中國傳聲筒的扭曲資訊,搭配認知作戰被無限擴大,「國民黨砍台灣外交預算,共產黨最開心」,這就是一種外交躺平。

請繼續往下閱讀...

徐巧芯則反擊,吳思瑤指稱她提案「刪減外交部1.04億元」媒體宣傳費,這是完全錯誤的訊息,也是對社會大眾的誤導。事實是,該案並非她的提案,在委員會審查中她甚至提到「外交部仍然有媒體宣傳的必要性」,因此建議將相關的案子集中保留,交付政黨協商審查,當場並沒有任何立法委員反對,包括民進黨。

徐巧芯表示,相關預算提案內容與吳思瑤的指控完全不符,只要查閱公開資料即可證明。身為立法委員,不該透過錯誤資訊進行政治操作。民主社會可以有立場不同,可以有政策辯論,但不應該造謠抹黑。對於散播不實訊息的行為,她要求吳思瑤委員立即更正錯誤說法,向社會大眾說明真相,並公開道歉。

徐巧芯怒批,政治攻防不該建立在謊言之上,事實只有一個,公開資料也都查得到,請停止以訛傳訛,回到理性、誠實的公共討論。

隨後,記者實際去查閱吳思瑤的臉書貼文,發現內容確實已經更正為「馬文君、翁曉玲提案刪減外交部媒宣費1.04億」。徐巧芯也在該文底下留言重申,「這筆費用並非我提案刪減,你的資訊是錯誤的,請更正並道歉!更稱要砍外交部一億的是王義川。」

對於徐巧芯的強烈抗議,吳思瑤隨後也對此做出回應,「已向徐致歉、內文已更正,徐委員是提案凍結領事事務局,護照製作經費100萬元,後改主決議」。
