According to Taiwan media reports, Democratic Progressive Party Secretary-General Lin Xiyao said today that Taipei City fully reflects the contradiction between "Blue and White should cooperate or compete", thus affecting the pace of the Kuomintang's handling of Taipei City nominations and the DPP's layout in Taipei City. It is better to wait until the end to make the decision, and not to flip the cards too early.
Outsiders are concerned that Chen Shizhong once mentioned that he had private chats with Lin Xiyao about the Taipei mayoral election. Lin Xiyao said in an interview at the Party Central Committee that epidemic prevention is a priority and he has not dared to disturb Chen Shizhong about the election.
Lin Xiyao said that he had known Chen Shizhong seven or eight years ago and had been in constant contact with each other.
He said that he never dared to disturb Chen Shizhong during the election because he knew that epidemic prevention was the first priority. What Chen Shizhong told is also true, but saying this does not mean that he had a very formal or in-depth conversation about the election.
Regarding the outside world's concern about the layout of Taipei's mayoral election, he pointed out that the people do not want those in power to make the election a priority. Other political parties have also slowed down, and nominations do not come more or faster than the Democratic Progressive Party.
Lin Xiyao said that the "Three Northern Capitals" and Taichung City will be consulted and coordinated by the party chairman himself. They are highly interconnected, complex and important. On the one hand, the DPP is not in a hurry, but on the other hand, it hopes to observe more and calmly stop. , don’t play your cards too early.
As for , Taichung is also being processed, but because Party Chairman Tsai Ing-wen is in isolation, the progress will be affected.
Lin Xiyao said that Taipei City may have three pillars. It was originally heard that the Kuomintang "legislator" Chiang Wanan would announce his candidacy for the mayor of Taipei after the New Year. The Kuomintang seemed to also hope to let Chiang Wanan appear earlier. However, after a year, the situation has changed.
He said that Blue and White want to cooperate, and there is also the problem of overlapping votes. If they want to cooperate or compete, Blue and White are very entangled internally, which reflects the contradiction between the two. Because of this, it may affect the original Kuomintang's handling of Taipei. The pace of city nominations has been delayed as a whole. Originally, the DPP felt that it would be better to make the decision in Taipei City at the end, without having to turn over the cards too early.
