[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] The Keelung City Government recently approved the "sea protection referendum" concerning Taipower's construction of the fourth natural gas receiving station on the coast of Waimushan. Incidents have gradually become central and local offense and defense.

In this regard, former legislator Guo Zhengliang made complaints about Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang on the show, saying, "Energy is a national policy. If a local referendum can be held if you hate facilities, then there are probably many things that can't be dealt with."

Guo Zhengliang appeared on the TV program "Shaokang War Room" a few days ago to express his views on Keelung's four "sea protection referendum", saying, "Of course local referendums held by local disgusting facilities will definitely pass, but because someone has done it in 102 years, they cited " Do you agree to the test run of the No. 4 Nuclear Power Plant of Taipower Corporation in New Taipei City for loading nuclear fuel rods?" "

Guo Zhengliang further pointed out that at that time, the Taipei High Administrative Court ruled that "non-local autonomy matters" were similar to this issue.

Guo Zhengliang believes that energy has always been a national policy, and if a local referendum can be held on distasteful facilities, then there are probably many things that cannot be dealt with.

Regarding the "Keelung sea protection referendum", Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang insisted that "the constitution guarantees the spirit of local autonomy". Reported to the Executive Yuan to confirm that the Ministry of the Interior has determined on December 16 that it does not belong to the scope of local self-government matters, and the Keelung City Government should reject it within the time limit according to law, and guide the leader of the proposal to refer to the national referendum.
