The Central Standing Committee of the Kuomintang on the 18th recruited former head of the administrative department Zhang Shanzheng to run for the mayor of Taoyuan. Without prior communication, it caused a storm. Even though the party chairman Zhu Lilun and Zhang Shanzheng have apologized to the public, it seems that he cannot stop the blood. Including former Taipei City Councilman Luo Zhiqiang, who is actively seeking nomination, will continue to launch the "Taoyuan Deeply Listen to Public Opinions" campaign on the 23rd. It is also rumored that party Taoyuan City Speaker Qiu Yisheng may announce his candidacy in the near future, intending to force the Party Central Committee to retract Zhang Shanzheng's decision.
KMT Central Committee raided and nominated Good Government to run for the next Mayor of Taoyuan. Taoyuan City Council Speaker Qiu Yisheng was angry and "quit the group". Xu Qiwan, the convener of the Kuomintang caucus, also announced in the party caucus that "rejected the visit of the Kuomintang Central Committee" in the party caucus. More than 20 KMT village chiefs threatened to withdraw from the party, and even said that they "taken to the party with guns (the other party). On the 20th, Congressman Ye Mingyue angrily criticized Party Chairman Zhu Lilun for being too arrogant and self-righteous, and had no respect at all, so how could the local public opinion representatives and party members feel!
Ye Mingyue said that everyone was shocked when they received the news at the first time. She believed that Zhu Lilun wanted to recruit people to Taoyuan to choose the mayor, and at least respect local factions and representatives of public opinion. Unexpectedly, all of them, including the speaker and more than 30 Kuomintang members, did not know about it. He inexplicably said that he wanted to find Zhang Shanzheng to choose the mayor, which caught him off guard.
According to the analysis of Hong Kong China Review Network, the pressure from all parties has hit Zhu Lilun and the Kuomintang Central Committee through different forms. Looking back at the 2016 "general election", the then chairman Zhu Lilun once "changed the pillar" because he could not resist the pressure within the party. This time, will the Taoyuan game be developed to this day repeat the drama and take back the call and start over? Judging from Zhu's experience of the Kuomintang, it is not impossible.
The Kuomintang recruited Zhang Shanzheng to fight for the mayor of Taoyuan, which was described as a surprise attack. It not only triggered a local thief in Taoyuan, but also made strong doubts within the party and supporters. The atmosphere of unity within the Kuomintang was on the verge of collapse, which made Zhang Shanzheng, Party Secretary-General Huang Jianting and Party Chairman Zhu Lilun publicly apologize. Zhang Shanzheng said, "I was negligent, sorry." Zhu Lilun said, "I will carry all the blame on my shoulders." , the content is all about "not communicating with Taoyuan at the grassroots level and not considering the possible reactions of local people."
From this development, it can be seen that the situation seems to have evolved into Zhu Lilun's previous expectations. Zhu Zhengzhao Zhang Shanzheng thought that playing this good card through Zhang's high-quality background and image could quell the original Taoyuan chaos. Unexpectedly, due to the wrong timing and method, the good cards turned into ghost cards, causing even greater storms.
, and Luo Zhiqiang has announced that the "Pray to Taoyuan and listen to the hardships of the people" will be launched on the 23rd, combining the previous "Taoyuan Thousand Miles Tour" and the "Taoyuan Epidemic Care Center" established a few days ago, with Luo Zhiqiang as the CEO, and 9 cross-party Taoyuan City Councillors as deputy executives, planned to travel to Taoyuan District 13, 516 miles. Luo's move was to smell that Taoyuan would not be good in a short period of time, and there was a possibility of a resumption of the game, so he should keep warm in Taoyuan, fight and move, and wait for an opportunity to move.
As for Qiu Yisheng, who is regarded as the leader of Taoyuan's territorial power, some media pointed out that Qiu may have recently announced his candidacy for Taoyuan mayor, and used a train collision to force the Party Central Committee to retract Zhang Shanzheng's decision. If it comes true, it will be a devastating action for the Kuomintang in Taoyuan. Therefore, if Zhu Lilun cannot handle Taoyuan properly in the near future, he may end up in a state of silence during his visit to the United States on June 1. No matter how many friendly relations with the United States are, he may not be able to save the Kuomintang in the civil strife.
