翁曉玲自稱「一身正氣」卻以預算審議為政治工具,引發爭議

Quick Look

國民黨立委翁曉玲多次以「一身正氣」自稱,但在回應外界批評時使用「小妖小怪禽獸」等語言,並威脅在116年度中央政府總預算審查中追查「青鳥綠媒飼主」並大幅刪減其預算經費。她過去亦曾針對行政院長卓榮泰提出凍結薪資提案,並導致文化部媒體政策費、公視基金會捐助及TaiwanPlus經費遭刪凍。文章批評其將預算審議權政治化,認為真正的正氣應該是接受監督與節制權力,而非以政治標籤施壓。

Why It Matters

翁曉玲為國民黨立法委員,多次在預算審議中提出爭議性提案,包括凍結行政院長薪資、刪減文化部媒體政策費及公視基金會捐助。她曾以「一身正氣」自稱,但在回應批評時使用具貶義語言,引發外界質疑其是否濫用預算審議權進行政治打壓。

文天祥若地下有知,讀到有人在揚言刪減預算、回應外界批評之際,還以《正氣歌》自況,恐怕也會問一句:「我寫的真是這個意思嗎?」

翁曉玲委員近日自稱「一身正氣」,在回應外界批評時甚至寫下「小妖小怪禽獸」,又揚言審查116年度中央政府總預算時,要找出「青鳥綠媒飼主」,大幅刪除「他們的預算經費」。預算審議本來就是立法院的憲法職權,但問題在於:刪減預算究竟是依據政策必要性、執行績效與經費合理性,還是先將不同意見貼上「青鳥」、「綠媒」標籤,再把預算審議權當成政治施壓的工具?

2025年,政府推動現職軍公教人員不得在中國設籍、申領中共相關身分證件的專案宣導與清查時,翁委員就公開說相關機關「經費太多」,年底審預算要「好好檢討」。今年(2026)她又受訪自稱針對115年度總預算提出約270案,並提案凍結行政院長卓榮泰9月至12月薪資 ,最終經院會表決通過;總統府國務機要費也遭刪1,000萬元、凍結2,000萬元,原定向37家庇護工場採購的中秋產品計畫因此無法履行。此外,文化部4,738萬元媒體政策及業務宣導費最終遭全數刪除,公視基金會捐助預算及TaiwanPlus相關經費亦遭刪凍。

回顧她近兩年的爭議言論,更令人難以苟同。2024年質詢行政院長陳建仁時,她強調質詢是「上對下」;巴黎奧運麟洋配擊敗中國組合奪金,她又稱是「中國人的驕傲」。今年(2026)更曾稱行政院長卓榮泰「不配上台接受質詢」。一位法律學者出身的立委,當然可以有鮮明立場,但行政院對立法院負責,兩院並非行政組織上的上下隸屬關係;質詢權是立法權監督、制衡行政權的重要手段,並非上下級指揮監督關係。所以,不是誰自認正氣,誰就能逕自將政治上的不同意見簡化成正邪之分。

「時窮節乃見,一一垂丹青。」正氣不是自己說了算,而是要看一個人在握有權力時,能否克制自己。翁委員若真愛《正氣歌》,不妨再讀「在晉董狐筆」。董狐之所以被後世稱頌,正在於不畏強權、直筆記載史事。若將此典故放到民主政治來看,正提醒每一位握有公權力的人:接受媒體、公民社會與不同意見者的批評與監督,本就是民主公共生活的一部分。然而,翁委員面對批評時,回應卻是「鳥氣」、「小妖小怪禽獸」,還揚言在116年度總預算審查中追查誰是「飼主」、大幅刪減相關預算,那恐怕不是董狐筆怕了權力,而是權力怕了董狐筆。

政府經費若真有違法挹注特定政黨、媒體或政治團體的情事,當然應依法追究。請翁委員提出具體預算科目、補助或採購契約、金流與績效資料,該查就查、該刪就刪。若只有政治標籤與指控,沒有具體證據,便以預算大刀伺候,那就不是善盡監督之責,而是讓預算審議淪為政治鬥爭的工具。

《正氣歌》彰顯的不只是「氣」,而是「正」。正氣,是面對異議仍謹守程序,握有權力仍知道節制。倘若最後只剩下「欲滅青鳥先滅其飼料」的快意,那麼《正氣歌》讀得再熟,恐怕也只是讀到了字面,並未真正讀懂其中的精神。

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.

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. He also called for the selection of people who are willing to solve problems professionally and take good care of Zhubei.
