China Taiwan Network reported on July 6 that according to Taiwan's "United Daily News", the Tsai administration promoted the military, public and educational pension reform, and finally "amended the law" and passed it This version is harsher than the conclusions of the original annual reform meeting. Retired soldiers, civil servants and teachers have changed from camping in front of the "Legislative Yuan" for long periods of protest to spreading out to "fight guerrillas" everywhere. Wherever Tsai Ing-wen goes, those who are choking will follow. . Several minor clashes have broken out over the past ten days. For police chiefs everywhere, the most worrying thing right now is probably Tsai Ing-wen coming to their jurisdiction.
However, at the same time, many of Tsai Ing-wen’s schedules were suddenly cancelled. Her office claimed that some were because Tsai Ing-wen had a cold, and some were due to other reasons, not because of protests.
● avoided the protests and Jiebian was forced to cancel the trip
The protesters’ “first victory” in this wave of wars occurred on June 26. Tsai Ing-wen was originally scheduled to go to Sanyuan Palace in Hukou Township, Hsinchu County, to unveil the plaque that she had previously donated. Protesters protested fiercely outside and broke into a blockade surrounded by police and special service personnel, forcing Tsai Ing-wen to give up and instead let Executive Yuan spokesperson Xu Guoyong preside over the event.
On June 30, Taiwan’s defense department held a joint military academy graduation ceremony at Fuxinggang in Beitou. The night before, the police set up horse barriers and railings. “Police Commissioner” Chen Guoen and Taipei City Police Chief Qiu Fengguang were personally in charge, but in Tsai Ing-wen’s motorcade As they approached, the protesters broke through the blockade and rushed into the lane, forcing the convoy to pause on the road. When Tsai Ing-wen left, in order to avoid being surrounded by protesters again, she not only changed the direction in the opposite direction, but also sent a large number of security personnel to follow the car quickly, creating a ridiculous scene.
● Sensitive moment Tsai Ing-wen happened to have a cold
html On July 4, Tsai Ing-wen was scheduled to go to Taoyuan to attend activities between the National Defense University and the city government. But the day before, Tsai Ing-wen's schedule was announced on many online groups protesting against the year change, calling for participation in the "Veterans Physical and Combat Skills Conference." On the evening of the 3rd, Tsai Ing-wen announced that the trip was cancelled. The reason was that Tsai Ing-wen had a cold and the doctor told her to get more rest. Yesterday (5th), Tsai Ing-wen was supposed to present flags to athletes competing in overseas competitions, but she canceled due to a cold.During the election period the year before last, Tsai Ing-wen had a bad throat and was so tired that she fell asleep standing on the station platform, but she still went on her way to vote. In comparison, it seems that her condition this time is "really not bad". light".
Tsai Ing-wen is scheduled to go to Hsinchu today (6th) and will fly to the Air Force Base after the event. There have been calls on the Internet to go to the airport to protest. No matter how far Tsai Ing-wen has recovered from the cold by then, what is certain is that the road outside the base gate was already filled with horses in advance the day before.
● itinerary kept confidential Protests still follow
html On July 1, Tsai Ing-wen, who is also the president of the Chinese Cultural Association, participated in an arts and culture tea party at a Taipei hotel. After experiencing the fierce struggle at Fuxinggang the day before, the police did not dare to neglect and took the lead in deploying security outside the venue. The result was a false alarm and no public protest at all.Military academy graduation and the unveiling of plaques in palaces and temples are all public itineraries announced by Tsai in advance. It is not surprising that there are people protesting; but even the confidential itinerary that is not announced to the public is still followed by protesters. On June 29, Tsai Ing-wen went to the Zhongxin Camp on Lixing Road, Xindian, to preside over the establishment of the "Information, Communications and Electronics Command" of the defense department. Since the defense department had been tight-lipped about whether this unit would be established, Tsai's activities that day were not announced, but they still attracted dozens of people to protest.
● Sympathize with the protests? It is difficult to keep police information
Because Tsai Ing-wen’s visit to the countryside, regardless of whether it is made public or not, must coordinate with the local police and send personnel to conduct traffic control to maintain their safety. Therefore, many people knew the relevant information, and retired police officers were the main force in protesting against the annual change. Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible to expect that no one would leak information about her itinerary to the "seniors."
A recent article titled "Personal Reflections of the Police" has been widely circulated in the police community. The author claims that after Tsai Ing-wen came to power, there were protests almost every day, and the police rushed to support them, making them dizzy and overwhelmed. Seeing the economic depression caused by "one case, one holiday" and the pensions of military, public and educational personnel being cut off, I still had to work hard for her, which really made me unwilling. Therefore, he called on his colleagues: To love Taiwan, "secretly let go" while on duty and let the protesters face Tsai Ing-wen.
This article was even mistakenly uploaded to the LINE group of the Taipei City Criminal University for contacting the media. The Criminal University stated that in the future, it will urge and remind colleagues to strictly pay attention to the neutral stance of the police's administration and carefully convey social media messages. post.
Having said that, in view of the lessons learned from the heavy losses suffered by the Ma authorities by the "Sunflower Movement", the Tsai administration has always "prepared for leniency" in response to public protests and sent a large number of police officers on guard, deploying "fortifications" such as razor blades to block the horses in advance, and putting them on guard. Police force is used to the highest extent. On the other hand, the Taiwan authorities withdrew the charges against Chen Kang during the "Sunflower" era for violating the law, but the police continue to face lawsuits accused by the masses. In this case, it's also an open secret that internal dissatisfaction is a pressure cooker.
● Anti-Year Reform: Stop testing the loyalty of the military, public, education, police and civilians
Veterans " Eight Hundred Heroes " anti-Year Reform protest spokesman and retired Lieutenant General Wu Sihuai pointed out that the current activities have tended to become radicalized. Recently, many retired military, public and religious figures have publicly criticized the "Eight Hundred Warriors", believing that they only made food in front of the "Legislative Yuan" and did not dare to attack. The protest method was too mild and ineffective. Various protest groups are also emerging, some even adopt very radical words and actions, and the background of the leaders is unknown.
Wu Sihuai said that the ruling authorities have been reminded through channels that the current changing direction of the protests is already worrying. He said that the ruling party not only ignored retirees' claims of "non-retrospection" and "trust protection", but even in the process of "revising the law", it also replaced the version originally revised last year with the "Duan Yikang Clause". This behavior is tantamount to Retaliation is tantamount to testing the loyalty of the military, public education, police and police to Taiwan.
Wu Sihuai said that Tsai Ing-wen said on the one hand that "the version of the military annual reform will be different from that of the Catholic Church." However, Lin Wanyi, the "political affairs committee member" who leads the annual reform, has continued to say that the military and the Catholic Church should not be different. The "General Office of Personnel and Administration" also cut the education subsidies for children of retirees at this time. These actions show that the ruling authorities do not mind continuing to escalate opposition. Therefore, Tsai Ing-wen must think carefully. Will her official residence be surrounded by barbed wire for the next three years? Do you have to send police officers to accompany you in your car when you go out for a run?
