AI-generated summary
The case involves the design and construction supervision bid of the Nagu Pagoda in Shengang Township, Changhua, and the entire case has been finalized in 2022.
The Kuomintang Legislative Yuan caucus held a press conference today to accuse DPP Taichung mayoral candidate He Xinchun's husband, Hsieh Jun-hsiung, of providing a 15% kickback of the winning bid amount in order to win the design and construction supervision bid for the Nagu Pagoda in Shingang Township, Changhua; He Xinchun's campaign headquarters immediately called The press conference clarified that the person who asked for bribes at the time was Zeng Huanzhang, the mayor of Shengang Township of the Kuomintang. The whole case was settled in 2022, but the Kuomintang did not mention it at all. It also used the umbrella of legislators to hold a press conference in the Legislative Yuan to criticize the Kuomintang. If it does not smear and spread rumors, there will be no election. Legal action has not been ruled out.
Zhou Yonghong, chief convenor of the Democratic Progressive Party of the Taichung City Council, said that the Kuomintang held a press conference in the Legislative Yuan to smear He Xinchun. Will the Kuomintang not be elected now if it does not smear and spread rumors? Is the election situation so critical that the Legislative Yuan resorts to throwing dirty water to save Jiang Qichen? And 3 asked Jiang Qichen, "Is this the election style you expect?" "Is Jiang Qichen's smear campaign a method you are accustomed to using in elections?" "Wouldn't you choose Jiang Qichen if he didn't discredit you?"
Zhou Yonghong said that the Kuomintang elected to hold a press conference in the Legislative Yuan, and it was not Jiang Qichen who held the press conference himself, because legislators have the right to immunity from speech, so they can avoid responsibility and smear He Xinchun. If Jiang Qichen's election depends on smearing to save him, we still have to ask Jiang Qichen, "Is smearing and spreading rumors the election method you expect?" What the Kuomintang press conference did not dare to mention from beginning to end was that it was the Kuomintang township chief who asked for bribes, but the Kuomintang criticized the victim who was asked for bribes. This is ridiculous.
Zhou Yonghong asked Jiang Qichen to respond whether he knew that the person asking for bribes was the Kuomintang township head? Did you know that the Legislative Yuan of the Kuomintang Caucus is going to hold this press conference? If everyone knew, would this behavior be allowed? Calling on the Kuomintang not to be thieves, they ask for bribes but discredit others.
Lawyer Wang Yisheng said that the full text of the judicial judgment in this case has been made available for public inspection and investigation on the Internet. From the judgment, it can be clearly recorded that this case has nothing to do with He Xinchun. He Xinchun has been magnanimous and self-sufficient throughout his career in politics and has withstood the test. This case has nothing to do with He Xinchun, and He Xinchun was not involved in any part of it.
Lin Junyu, spokesman for He Xinchun's campaign, said that Jiang Qichen has been continuously spreading rumors, slandering and attacking He Xinchun since the polls and the election became tense. The Kuomintang, from the Taichung City Council to the Legislative Yuan caucus, has been holding such press conferences to spread rumors and slander, but Jiang Qichen has been telling us People in Taichung expect this election to be a positive one that explains their ideal vision for the city. However, Jiang’s camp continues to conduct the election by spreading rumors and smearing it, asking Jiang Qichen, “Is this election method authorized and approved by you?”
Lin Junyu said that in order to save the election, he continued to spread rumors and smear campaigns. He believed that Taichung citizens would not accept this method. He Xinchun's team insists on using actions to implement a positive and warm election. He Xinchun will continue to travel throughout Taichung to report to all citizens what she will do in the future. She hopes that her opponent Jiang Qichen will not use smear and rumors to ruin this election.
