Why It Matters
The Gongdu League recently used words such as "obedient dog" to humiliate Ke Zhien, the Kaohsiung mayoral candidate of the Kuomintang, triggering Kuomintang legislator Chen Jinghui to hold a press conference to condemn him. Chen Jinghui criticized the Public Supervision League for becoming a flanking organization that dare not supervise the DPP Congress. In 2022, the KMT Legislative Yuan caucus has decided not to provide information to participate in the evaluation.
In response to the recent use of words such as "obedient dog" by the Public Governors League to humiliate Ke Zhien, the Kaohsiung mayoral candidate of the Kuomintang, Chen Jinghui, executive director of Ke Zhien's campaign and legislator Chen Jinghui, held a press conference with KMT lawmakers today (10th), saying that "Gongdu League verbally bullies Ke Zhien, so light" and "Lai Ruilong dare not condemn the Public Governors League" "Good light", condemning the comments of the Public Governors League as exceeding the scope of normal political commentary, and calling on the Democratic Progressive Party's Kaohsiung mayoral candidate Lai Ruilong to come forward and condemn it.
Chen Jinghui said that the outside world expects the PCG to conduct rational and professional supervision of Congress and politicians, but it uses the humiliating word "obedient dog" to humiliate Ke Zhien, which really lacks civic literacy. She criticized the Public Oversight Alliance for having already become a flank organization that "does not dare to supervise the DPP Congress." In 2022, the KMT Legislative Yuan caucus decided not to provide information to participate in the evaluation.
Chen Jinghui also said bitterly that the Public Oversight League is like the "parlor resume makeup artist" of DPP legislators. Lai Ruilong holds public hearings and amends laws for specific industries in the Legislative Yuan. The relevant political donation controversy has not been clarified yet, but he has been awarded the Outstanding Legislator by the Public Oversight League for 21 consecutive times. It has no credibility at all and proves that the Public Oversight League will only help the Green Committee.
City Council caucus chief Huang Xiangshu and councilor Qiu Yuxuan also said that the outside world expects the Public Supervisory Alliance to supervise the operation of Congress and the quality of legislation, instead of criticizing female candidates in humiliating terms and rejecting gender bullying. It called on Lai Ruilong to respond positively, "Do you support the existence of such a bullying culture in Taiwan's political arena?" It also called on Lai Ruilong to take a stand and ask the CEO of the Public Governors Alliance Zhang Honglin to step down, so that the election can return to the discussion of policy and political opinions.
City Councilor Chen Meiya said that the Governing Council's move was tantamount to humiliating the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang. Shen Boyang said that he wanted to warm up the election and not say bad words, but the DPP actually used a nasty and humiliating way to attack women.
In this regard, President Lai Ruilong said that the Kuomintang does not need to use the topic to play off the topic, continue to read and smear attacks for no reason. In response to the relevant content, Lai Ruilong made a clear response a few days ago: "We hope that the election will have more positive policy visions and avoid negative adjectives, so as to avoid social confrontation and division." Lai Ruilong has also repeatedly called on all camps to exercise restraint, reduce negative attacks and defenses, and face the election with a respectful and rational attitude.
President Lai Jing said that since Lai Ruilong became a legislator, in addition to being affirmed by the Public Governors League, he has also been affirmed by the Pocket Congress 14 times. The affirmation from different units represents recognition of his efforts in serious political inquiry. Winning awards is encouragement, and entrustment from citizens is responsibility. The team continues to focus on striving for construction, solving citizen problems, and completing Kaohsiung’s future policy vision with a humble and responsible attitude
