國民黨立委馬文君屢次阻擋國防預算,她今日在立法院質詢聲稱,政府不要把國防特別預算刪除無人機,就講成台灣沒有無人機,這是欺騙說法;行政院長卓榮泰當場駁斥,不是欺騙啊!並直指馬對於潛艦、無人載具,「都是同樣的態度,我不是很了解」。

立法院日前通過7800億的軍購特別條例,相較於行政院提出的1.25兆規模,少了4700億。馬文君又提案,將海軍司令部在今年度總預算案中所編列第三階段後續艦籌建119億全數凍結,更在海軍「各式靶具採購案」中砍成「負1800萬」,引發外界質疑。

馬文君今天針對無人機、潛艦議題質詢,她聲稱,今年國防公務預算已編列9450億元,先前通過的韌性預算,跟國防相關有1100億元,其實已經上兆,這次通過的特別條例部分,針對軍購部分有7800億元,所以不是刪掉4700億元,而是增加這7800億元。

馬文君指出,無人機預算部分,國防部在115年編列將近120億元,國防部報告清楚載明,政府不要說特別預算沒有過,台灣就沒有無人機,這是一個欺騙的說法。

卓榮泰當場反駁說,「不是欺騙啊!你講到欺騙,你要讓我講啊」;馬文君隨即插話稱,115年編了將近120億元,無人機的預算是一層一層疊上去的。

馬文君舉例,劍翔無人機之前是編列119.8億元,這個計畫還在執行中,五大信賴產業推動方案有18.8億元,經濟部統籌型計畫規劃2025至2030年有400多億元,海巡及其他部會也有編列無人機和反無人機的預算,只是都是分散的,而且預算都相當高,所以問題不是有沒有編錢,而是錢花到哪裡去了?

面對馬文君連番質疑無人機預算,卓榮泰痛批,所以委員是反對我們的研發、製造走到一個更長期、更大量、更穩定的民主供應鏈時代,要停留在現在這個階段?

馬文君反嗆,你有沒有認真聽,你要長期大量,依照國防預算歷年有怎樣的成果,如果沒有辦法,就應該好好做好後,再去增加預算。幾千億元都做不好,我們就要質疑浪費納稅錢。

卓榮泰直接回嗆,「委員對於潛艦、無人載具,都是同樣的態度,我不是很了解啦!」

馬文君則說,不要把潛艦拿出來講,下水那是影響士官兵的安全,今天不是你說可以就可以,還沒有正式通過;卓榮泰痛批,國防部多少同仁辛辛苦苦對國造潛艦拚命,你卻一再這樣。

馬文君又說,原型艦沒有通過,後續艦要用什麼做?這些相關概念,包括無人機等,國防部長站在旁邊他很清楚整個過程,這是怎樣的核心價值。潛艦不僅要安全,還要能打仗。

卓榮泰直言,「那請委員多多支持和鼓勵啊!」馬文君回嗆,支持和鼓勵不代表能縱放;卓則回應,我都不能縱放。
