[Reporter Huang Jingyu/Taipei Report] The "Regulations on Equal Land Rights" was amended and passed on January 10, and the Legislative Yuan People's Clique criticized it. In less than three days, the Acting Minister of the Ministry of the Interior Hua Jingqun made a big turn and "do not retroactively". Setting up another project opened the door for cleverness and deviated from the expectations of the people.

Zhang Qilu, secretary-general of the Legislative Yuan People’s Party, held a press conference today with Peng Yangkai, secretary-general of the OURs Urban Reform Organization, calling on the government to implement the legislative spirit of the "Equal Land Rights Ordinance" and "Leasing Ordinance", and not to continue to let real estate speculators invest in order to Fulfill President Tsai Ing-wen's commitment to housing justice more than 6 years ago.

Legislator Zhang Qilu said that after the passage of the "Equal Land Rights Regulations", Hua Jingqun, the acting minister of the Ministry of the Interior, violated the promise made by the Internal Affairs Committee in December last year. Contract renewals are "not retroactive", and even pre-sale houses purchased by investors before the policy is implemented have a "sunrise clause" that is not restricted by the sales ban, questioning the government's abuse of the principle of trust protection.

Zhang Qilu pointed out that the current transaction volume of pre-sale houses has decreased, but the transaction prices have not been impacted. According to the statistics of real-price registered pre-sale house transaction data, Tainan City last year averaged 307,000 yuan per ping, an annual increase of 24.1%; Kaohsiung City increased by 30.0% The growth rate is the highest, with an average of 324,000 yuan per ping for pre-sales. Now the Ministry of the Interior has opened the back door to help investors flee.

Peng Yangkai, Secretary-General of OURs Urban Reform Organization, pointed out that in the face of the "prohibition of resale of pre-sale houses", the law does not retroactively mean that "after the implementation of this law, the resale of pre-sale house contracts is prohibited, but the resale before the implementation of the law cannot be retrospectively." This is definitely not what the Ministry of the Interior said, "after the implementation of this law, pre-sale houses in the past can still be resold."
