[Reporter Yu Zhaofu/Keelung Report] The first regular meeting of the 20th Keelung City Council was held today (8th) morning. Zheng Wenting, chief of the Keelung City Council Party Group of the Democratic Progressive Party, raised a procedural issue and asked Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang to make We should first explain the advertisement of Guoguang Passenger Transport's electric locomotives.

Councilor Zhang Haohan questioned how the municipal government would use Guoguang Passenger Transport advertisements to ask the council to support electric vehicles before the council opened. This is tantamount to "action guidance".

Xie Guoliang said that regarding the motor vehicle advertisements that councilors are concerned about, the advertisements on Guoguang passenger carriages and face paper leaflets, they were paid by himself and did not use the city government budget.

If Members think it is inappropriate, he accepts it humbly. He hopes to discuss the issue of electric vehicles later.

Zheng Wenting said that currently on the National Highway Passenger Transport between Keelung and Taipei, there are advertisements in the carriages, which read "Strive for an additional budget for electric vehicles for Keelung youths, please support the parliament in May and June." Anyone object to this supplementary budget?

She said that the Democratic Progressive Party Group hoped that Xie Guoliang would fulfill his campaign political views from the beginning to the end, but before the parliament opened, there was such an advertisement on the carriage, asking Xie to explain clearly before the policy address.

On the other hand, Zheng Wenting also questioned where the carriage advertisement came from and which unit's budget was used. She also asked Xie Guoliang to clarify this issue before the general policy report.

Zhang Haohan said that Premier Chen Chien-jen wants to promote major public construction or projects. From budget review to policy formulation discussions, they are all reviewed and discussed through the Legislative Yuan. Will President Chen Chien-jen use advertisements to guide?

If they really do the same, I am afraid that the Kuomintang legislators will not sit idly by.

The Kuomintang city councilors Lan Minhuang, Han Shiyu and others all expressed that the general policy report should be the most important thing, and hoped that Xie Guoliang would make the policy report first, and then discuss this issue.

Tong Ziwei, chairman of the Keelung City Council, also made a decision to let Xie Guoliang give the general policy report first.

In the follow-up general policy report, Xie Guoliang said that the advertisements in the car and the surrounding tissue paper and other literature were paid by himself, and did not use the city government budget. When answering, discuss together.

But Zhang Haohan thought that if Xie Guoliang used his own money, why did the advertisement clearly say "Keelung City Government"?

If Xie Guoliang wants to further promote his policies, then he can directly write "Xie Guoliang" on the advertisement. He questioned that Xie Guoliang's approach is problematic.
