Taoyuan Mayor Zheng Wencan attended a dinner party with Democratic Progressive Party Taoyuan mayoral candidate Lin Zhijian the night before (18th), and was exposed to toasts from table to table in violation of epidemic prevention regulations. The Taoyuan City Health Bureau claimed that the banquet site did not violate the epidemic prevention regulations of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, but it adopted strict epidemic prevention standards. It will fine Zheng and Lin each NT$3,000 ( NT$, the same below) for violating the "Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Law" ).
Wang Wenxuan, spokesperson for Lin Zhijian’s campaign office, stated that the photo was of a dinner party at a private residence and that the relevant authorities should respect the investigation and handling. Lin Zhijian will continue to abide by relevant epidemic prevention regulations. Zhan Heshun, director of the Information Department of the Taoyuan City Government, said that there were violations of the epidemic prevention regulations and he respected the professional judgment of the Health Bureau.
The Taoyuan City Health Bureau claimed that according to the photos, the dinner party should be held at the home, and there were no specific people present. The current epidemic prevention policy announced by the "Command Center" does not specify the relevant regulations for self-residents, but the epidemic prevention standards must be strictly viewed, and fines will be issued based on relevant evidence.
Lin Zhijian only revealed yesterday that the chairman of the campaign headquarters is Zheng Wencan. Taoyuan City Council candidate Ling Tao posted on Facebook last night, revealing photos of Lin Zhijian, Zheng Wencan and Taoyuan Labor Director Wu Hongguo attending a dinner and toasting table by table. Ling Tao also quoted a press release issued by the Taoyuan City Government Information Office. Taoyuan City Health Director Wang Wenyan reminded on June 30, July 15, and July 18 that "table-by-table toasting" is a way to spread Omikerong High-risk behavior.
Ling Tao said that the photo looks like there are at least 15 people. Based on the size of the dining table in the photo, there are at least two tables. In the photo, it can be seen that Lin Zhijian and Zheng Wencan were toasting from table to table in violation of regulations. Ling Tao criticized politicians as having higher standards. Candidates and officials must set an example. Otherwise, how can the city government issue regulations and require people to comply. (Lin Jingxian/editor)
