[Reporter Cai Yahua/Taipei Report] Taipei mayor Jiang Wan'an has already taken office, and Lin Yihua, a legislator in Da'an District, Beishi City, who is serving as deputy mayor, will not take office until February 1 next year.

The DPP group of the Taipei City Council today strongly criticized Lin Yihua as a bully who wanted everything, "children only choose to have both", playing and trampling on the democratic system, and launched a national campaign of "assisting to find Lin Yihua, deputy mayor of Taipei City", Call on Lin to quickly resign from the legislature and take up the post of deputy mayor.

Jian Shupei, the chief caller of the Democratic Progressive Party, Chen Xianwei, the deputy chief, and Chung Pei-ling, the chief secretary, held a press conference on "Searching for the Deputy Mayor of Taipei City and Lin Yihua, the Legislator of Da'an District" in the morning.

Chen Xianwei regretted that the Kuomintang returned to Taipei to govern, and the Kuomintang's authority also returned to Taipei?

Jiang Wan'an was elected mayor, is the Jiang family's dictatorial DNA at work?

Please read on...

Chen Xianwei said that when Jiang Wanan became mayor of the city, he encouraged the Kuomintang North City Councilor Wang Hongwei to run for the by-election of the Taipei City Third Constituent District Legislator, which resulted in one less Taipei City Councilor to oversee the city. Now he allows the Deputy Mayor Lin Yihua to take office until next year, but he did not receive a seat for the Taipei City Legislator , He called on Jiang Wanan to rein in the precipice. Jiang relied on the democratic mechanism to elect the mayor. He should not play with democracy and trample on democracy.

Zhong Peiling appealed to the KMT and Lin Yihua not to sacrifice the rights and interests of the people for political interests. Taipei City will lose a deputy mayor in the next two months. For political interests, the people of Da’an District have no legislators for a year. I appeal to Lin Yihua not to do it for political calculations or rumors. Fighting, sacrificing the rights and interests of the people, please take office on time in one step. Lin Yihua also went through a democratic election mechanism and was affirmed by voters in Daan District. The democratic mechanism should be respected and the trust of voters should not be betrayed.

Jian Shupei said sourly, Lin Yihua is like a bully, he wants everything, a child only chooses to have both, but is the democratic system allowed to be played by Lin Yihua like this?

Lin Yihua won 93,785 votes in the 2020 Legislative Election and was elected as the Daan District Legislator. He is about to disappoint the expectations of more than 90,000 people and trample on more than 90,000 votes. Voters will definitely not accept it. .

Jian Shupei said that if Jiang Wan'an insisted on Lin Yihua, he should not use the gap in the system to confiscate the Daan District Legislator.

She also regretted asking Jiang Wanan about the small cabinet in the meeting hall yesterday. Jiang had no way to reply. The small cabinets of county and city governments all over the country have taken office, and Taipei City alone lacks a deputy mayor.

Jian Shupei said that it was Jiang Wan'an and the Kuomintang's idea to delay Lin Yihua's inauguration.

As for the KMT chairman Chu Li-lun said yesterday that Lin Yihua's case is very logical, to avoid wasting public funds in the by-election, Jane criticized it bitterly. This is what the authoritarian government said. There are local legislators in all parts of Taiwan, only Da'an District has no legislators. What kind of talk is that.

Jian Shupei said angrily, can a person be allowed to get whatever he wants?

Is it Lin Yihua who asks for anything, or is the Kuomintang letting it take what it wants? The Kuomintang takes advantage of the gap to allow authoritarian dictatorship and barbarism to continue to infringe on people's rights. Zhu Lilun who said this is going to run for president in the future, which is super scary and terrifying.
