[Reporter Wei Jinjun/New Taipei Report] Vice President Lai Qingde, who is also the honorary chairman of the DPP New Taipei mayoral candidate Lin Jialong's campaign headquarters, went to New Taipei City for the second time today (29th) for the auxiliary election. He pointed out that there are three ways to elect Lin Jialong as New Taipei mayor. The big reason is not only for the progress of New Taipei City, but also to affirm the President of the Executive and the former Taipei County Mayor Su Zhenchang, and to be the backing of President Tsai Ing-wen, calling on everyone to support Lin Jialong and let Lin Jialong be elected.

Lai Qingde, accompanied by Lin Jialong and Legislator Yu Tian, ​​attended the "Lin Jialong Sanchong District Campaign Headquarters Inauguration Meeting" today. Lai Qingde pointed out in his speech that New Taipei City has been established for hundreds of years and is also a major industrial and commercial city in Taiwan. The development of the North City has always been attached great importance, so Tsai Ing-wen did not dare to be rude.

Lai Qingde said that Tsai Ing-wen specially selected Taiwan University's Department of Political Science and Yale University's Ph.D. in Political Science. He had served as an advisory member of the National Security Council, a legislator, the mayor of Taichung, and the minister of transportation. Lin Jialong, who has been honed in administration and legislation, ran for the mayor of New Taipei.

Lai Qingde pointed out the reasons for Lin Jialong's three elections. The first is "for the progress of New Taipei City." He said that New Taipei City is very important to Taiwan and its conditions are very good. After a year of regress, Lin Jialong not only has good academic experience, but also has an international vision, majors in urban planning, and has the ability to solve problems.

The second is to "affirm Su Zhenchang". Lai Qingde said that Su Zhenchang was ordered to let Taiwan survive African swine fever and fight against the Wuhan pneumonia (new coronavirus disease, COVID-19) epidemic. In the past, New Taipei City did the best. Su Zhenchang , he left Pingtung and went to New Taipei City to do well. I believe that Yilin Jialong's talent can also do well.

The third is to "be the backing of President Tsai Ing-wen." Lai Ching-teh admitted that Taiwan faces great challenges, but Tsai Ing-wen upholds a peaceful and reciprocal approach to handling cross-strait relations, and members of the international community and members of various countries have come to Taiwan to express their strong expression. For Taiwan's support, I call on everyone to support Lin Jialong, let him become an important force in promoting the progress of New Taipei City, and become the backing of Tsai Ing-wen.

"The renovation of New Taipei University is also a big turnaround, and it should give the DPP a chance!" Lin Jialong pointed out that the municipal performance rating of New Taipei City has been declining year by year, criticizing the Kuomintang New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi for saying that he should do things well, but thinking about the 2024 presidential election. I appeal to voters not to waste this vote and let Hou Youyi go to 2024 without any burden.

Lin Jialong detailed the policies he wants to introduce to the audience, including subsidizing the elderly over 65 years old to wear dentures, providing a fund of 100,000 yuan for young people to start a family, building 20,000 social housing, increasing the elderly happy card to 600 points and taking taxis and other benefits , which drew applause from the audience.

Yu Tian said that the DPP has not been in power in New Taipei City for 17 years. He hoped that Hou Youyi would not be elected in the next election like You Xikun, the Legislative President who elected the mayor of New Taipei City before. It is Hou Youyi who will elect the president. It would be a waste of resources to re-elect the mayor at that time.

Yu Tian's eyes blushed and said, Lin Jialong must be in a bad mood when his father-in-law passed away now. He has experienced the separation of relatives, so he knows it. I hope everyone will cheer for Lin Jialong. "Don't worry so much, now decide who will be in New Taipei"!
