Taiwan Farmers' Association's supervisory election will appear, New Taipei City Woods Farmers' Association has reached a bloody storm. Liao Benyan, a former "legislator" who originally intended to run for the chairman, was accused by the ruling faction last month for forging documents and revoked his qualifications for election. Now, a member representative in the ruling party came forward to accuse him of being accused of bribing elections for 10,000 yuan (NTD, the same below), and even repeatedly threatened and demanded votes with words. He has reported to the prosecutors. Liao Benyan angrily accused his opponent of making a name out of nothing and making dirty tricks; the two major factions in the green camp each spoke their own words, and a storm in the teapot has quietly staged.
Among the top 10 farmers' associations in Taiwan have a rich surplus, New Taipei City accounts for 8. Among them, the Shulin Farmers' Association, with the efforts of the last mayor Chen Shirong, often contributes money and efforts in local construction, and attracts various factions to compete when re-elected; the current ruling faction consists of DPP City Councilman Gao Minhui and current chairman Wang Junyao, as well as the two major factions of DPP former "legislator" Liao Benyan compete.
Shulin Farmers Association will hold a member representative meeting this morning, with 45 member representatives electing 9 directors and 3 supervisors, and the chairman and executive supervisors will be selected before March 15; members of the Farmers Association revealed that Shulin Farmers Association has a total of 45 member representatives, with Liao accounting for 60% of the seats and about 40% of the ruling entrusted, and his strength is comparable. Although Liao Benyan was revoked from his qualification to run for the director, he was planning within the Farmers Association.
Member representative surnamed Chen accused that since he ran for the representative of the Shulin Farmers Association on February 21, Liao Benyan came to the door to verbally threaten and harass him by phone, and yelling, saying, "If you don't vote for me, you'll see when you go back." He and his family were in trouble and were frightened, and they had filed a lawsuit against the District Prosecutor's Office for intimidation ; grassroots members also received Liao Benyan's election bribes, ranging from 10,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan. The bribery recipient sued himself at the prosecutor's office last week and paid back the election remittance of 10,000 yuan, hoping that the procuratorial investigation will be clear.
"The opponent is fighting another frame-up battle, the method is dirty!" Liao Benyan was angrily criticized in an interview for all the accusations that the opponent's camp could not afford to lose and insisted on frameing him with a fictitious matter. This is a very bad election atmosphere. The case is investigated by the procuratorate and there is no need to over-speculation.
