[Reporter Su Jinfeng/Taichung Report] In the 2024 general election, the outside world speculates about the candidates for the president and vice president of various political parties, and there are also rumors of "Hou Lupei". Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan said yesterday that "as long as it is good for Taiwan, any combination can be considered"; A member of the DPP of the Taichung City Council criticized Lu Xiuyan for wanting to be a "runaway mayor" within less than a week of taking office, and failed the expectations of the citizens, calling on Lu Xiuyan to do a good job in municipal administration before "Xu Tu becomes big".

In this regard, Taichung City Government Information Bureau Director Zheng Zhaoxin said that there is no need to over-interpret it, and hope that all walks of life will return to municipal discussions, and positive interaction and cooperation will build Taichung.

Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan was re-elected last year with more than 799,000 votes, winning over 270,000 votes from her opponent. Because she and New Taipei Mayor Hou Youyi were both elected with high votes, it was rumored that Hou Lupei was elected, and Lu Xiuyan was elected yesterday as long as it is good for Taiwan. What combination? The speech that can be considered has aroused speculation from the outside world.

In this regard, DPP City Councilor Chen Shuhua criticized that Lu Xiuyan had only been in office for a week, and she immediately wanted to be elected as the president and vice president.

In response to Lu Xiuyan's public statement that she does not rule out the possibility of matching the election of the president and vice president, she should directly run for the president and vice president. The 2022 county mayor election should be given to a talented person who can concentrate on Taichung's municipal administration to become the mayor of Taichung.

City Councilor Jiang Zhaoguo said that because of the high number of votes, Lu Xiuyan wanted to compete for the big position. She thought that she was very strong and wanted to go to the next level. Municipal administration is not a good thing for the citizens of Taichung. He called on Lu Xiuyan to think about the next step and do a good job in the immediate municipal work first.

City Councilor Chen Yahui said that Lu Xiuyan is the newly re-elected mayor of Taichung. Whether she is running for the 2024 presidential position must be clearly stated, and she cannot answer irrelevant questions or talk about him. If you want to be elected president, you will have to ask for leave immediately. Using the post of mayor as a springboard for political power is "running away" and irresponsible. I call on Lu Xiuyan not to "eat the inside and look outside the bowl", otherwise she will disrespect the voters who support her. How embarrassing are the voters who support her?

City Councilor Zeng Wei said that as a citizen of Taichung, it is really unacceptable for a mayor who has only been in office for less than a month to see a better position and is about to run away. Could it be that Lu Xiuyan only cares about her own political future and not the citizens of Taichung? ?

Lu Xiuyan's main axis of this campaign is to "guard Taichung", but she let the media talk about "Hou Lupei" in the 2024 presidential election just a week after taking office. Will it be interrupted because of this, is it true that protecting his official position is what Mayor Lu cares most about, and protecting Taichung is just a campaign slogan?
