根據義大利媒體與社群網路的影片,皮齊耶諾在會議中說,「我很高興地宣布,台灣副總統蕭美琴剛剛抵達文托泰內島。我們非常榮幸能邀請她蒞臨我們的『自由與民主會議』。」現場立刻響起如雷掌聲。

皮齊耶諾表示,蕭副總統與會的行程事前未能公布,主要是有一位干預者-「中國政府」。

她緊接著強調,「我想表達得非常清楚:沒有任何人,包括中國在內,可以決定誰能或不能在這裡發言。文托泰內島是一個象徵自由、抗爭與民主的地方。我們非常自豪能夠傾聽那些每天都在抵抗威權威脅的壓力、捍衛自身自由民主者的聲音。」

皮齊耶諾在臉書(Facebook)寫道,這是一個簡單而清晰的訊息:恐嚇不能決定誰能參與我們的民主辯論。言論自由不能與專制政權談判。文托泰內島,現在比以往任何時候都更需要繼續成為捍衛自由與民主、無所畏懼的地方。

Ke Wenzhe asked the court to live broadcast on the first day of his second trial. The legal community analyzed that this was actually a political signal.

Former Taipei Mayor Ko Wenzhe asked the court to live broadcast the first day of the second trial of the Beijing-related case and political donation case, and publicly called for public appeal. The legal community pointed out that according to the current legal system, fact trials only allow oral debates and public broadcasts of referee declarations, and the evidence investigation stage such as witness interrogation is not included in the scope. Ke Wenzhe's move is seen as bringing judicial disclosure demands into the public opinion field, leaving room for attack and defense for subsequent judgments, rather than actually expecting the current live broadcast. The system itself was promoted by the Popular Party Group and implemented last year, and it has been applied in the first instance. The legal community warns that this discussion is likely to turn judicial process judgments into social supervision issues and increase the pressure on judges.

Weng Xiaoling claims to be "upright" but uses budget review as a political tool, causing controversy

Kuomintang legislator Weng Xiaoling has repeatedly claimed to be "righteous", but when responding to external criticism, she used language such as "little monsters and beasts" and threatened to track down "blue bird and green media owners" and significantly cut their budget funds in the 2016 central government general budget review. She has also proposed a salary freeze in the past against Executive Director Toh Wing-tai, which resulted in the Ministry of Culture's media policy fees, donations from the Public Television Foundation and TaiwanPlus funds being deleted and frozen. The article criticized it for politicizing the right to review the budget, arguing that true righteousness should be to accept the power of supervision and moderation, rather than exerting pressure with political labels.

Zeng Shengkai questions the Blue and White camp: Zhubei mayoral election should focus on people’s livelihood rather than power distribution

Zeng Shengkai, candidate for mayor of Zhubei in Hsinchu County of the Democratic Progressive Party, questioned the Blue and White camp's continued power game based on candidate consolidation, party interests and vote distribution. He pointed out that what citizens really care about are livelihood issues such as traffic congestion, pedestrian safety, elder care and public facilities. He emphasized that the mayor should be responsible for serving the needs of citizens rather than competing for political positions among political parties.
