[Reporter Yang Chengyu/Taipei Report] The power of the times performed poorly in this year's local public office elections. Among them, Chen Qingyuan, the only congressional candidate nominated by Hualien County, won 2,071 votes and 4.65% of the votes, becoming the top loser in the constituency.

On the 29th, Wang Weijun, the founding director of the Association for the Promotion of Children's Rights, who has long been concerned about children's rights and interests, and a member of the Times Force, made a live broadcast on the 29th. Chen Qingyuan invited her to participate in the forum in August, but was stopped by the Hualien Party Department because she was "" A person in the "Age of Action"; Wang Weijun even broke the news that even candidates who wanted to hang up billboards with Wang Wanyu were banned, so she couldn't help criticizing in the live broadcast: "What are you worried about with such a demeanor? It's ridiculous!"

"Action Era" is an office established by Qiu Xianzhi and Wang Wanyu, legislators of the power of the times, and positions itself as a think tank that expands its connection with civil society.

After the election, in the "Age of Action", six decision-making committee members, including Qiu Xianzhi, Wang Wanyu, Chen Mengxiu, Zeng Weikai, Li Zhaoli, and Liao Ziqi, launched an attack and resigned to take responsibility for the defeat. They also called on all decision-making committee members to resign and reorganize the party. Regrouping to prepare for the 2024 legislative election campaign, the aftermath of the party is rippling.

And Wang Weijun also serves as the vice chairman of Action Times.

Wang Weijun said frankly that after joining the power of the times, charity partners who have known her for a long time feel that "she has become unlike herself".

But she forbears these things, mainly because she doesn't want the candidates to be siphoned away by the local party headquarters, and she doesn't want to embarrass the candidates, or even affect their mood in the election campaign, so she has been refraining from talking about it.

Wang Weijun then started kicking things off. On August 8 this year, Chen Qingyuan invited her to participate in the forum held in Hualien on September 3, and Wang Wanyu will also participate.

Wang Weijun believes that although Chen Qingyuan is not a member of the "Action Age", he is still a partner of the power of the times, and the auxiliary elections should not be separated from each other, so he agreed and helped arrange local visits.

However, on August 17, Chen Qingyuan contacted her suddenly to apologize, saying that she could not be allowed to participate in the forum. After asking the reason, she found out that the Hualien party department intervened to prevent her.

Chen tried to help Wang to participate in the Children's Rights Committee, but was also rejected by the Hualien party department.

Wang Weijun expressed dissatisfaction that even the candidate who wanted to co-post with Wang Wanyu was banned by the Hualien party department, and was only allowed to co-post with the party chairman or the party chairman.

Wang bluntly said that even if Chen Qingyuan is not from the era of action, she and Wang Wanyu are still willing to do their best in the auxiliary election, but the Hualien party department makes a candidate in the election "wear small shoes", inconsistent with the outside world, and not in the auxiliary election. worry about what"?

Wang Weijun criticized this: "It's really ridiculous!"

Wang Weijun said that whether it was the Hualien earthquake a few years ago or the Taroko accident, she assisted in these two heart-wrenching tragedies. After staying in Hualien for a while, she still has a little visibility, so she can help more or less. Chen Qingyuan.

During the election period, no matter which faction you belong to, you must focus on the candidate.

Wang Weijun said distressedly that Chen Qingyuan was very high-quality, but he was also very wronged. He worked hard to win the election in a difficult constituency like Hualien. She questioned why the Party Central Committee could treat candidates like this?

If the Party Central Committee does not know that such a thing happened, it will be even more incompetent!

Many party members feel sorry for these high-quality but unsuccessful candidates, and even feel aggrieved. Who can let these party members speak out so that the Party Central Committee can wake up?

Wang Weijun called on the Party Central Committee to be sober. It is not aimed at any individual, but the entire organization must be improved. It must have an attitude, so that voters know that the power of the times is a third party that knows how to reflect, know how to improve, and stand with the people. Powerful high-quality political parties.
