Global Network According to Taiwanese media reports, after the failure of the Democratic Progressive Party's "nine-in-one" election, internal reviews continued. DPP "legislator" He Zhiwei became the target of criticism for naming the black gold issue within the party. Xu Guoyong, the former head of the internal affairs department of the Democratic Progressive Party, who switched to hosting political commentary programs, even played a video on the program showing Ho Chi-wei abandoning Chen Shizhong's sand painting on the legislative body's surveillance camera, causing an uproar in public opinion. The Kuomintang’s legislative caucus criticized the DPP’s willingness to extend its dirty hands into the legislative body to fight for factionalism, which was an “international scandal.” In this regard, You Xikun, head of the legislative branch of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, said that if the leakage of the video is the responsibility of colleagues in the legislative branch, the offenders will be severely punished and an explanation will be announced within a month.
Global Network reported that the Democratic Progressive Party suffered a disastrous defeat in the Taipei mayoral election last year. During the election campaign, internal discord broke out within the green camp. Among them, it was revealed that He Zhiwei had "disposed" a sand painting of his mayoral candidate Chen Shizhong in the legislative recycling area. It was rumored that DPP leader Tsai Ing-wen was "quite angry" about this. At that time, He Zhiwei came forward to explain that the painting was placed in the corridor as an installation art. He believed that someone was deliberately dividing the Green Camp. However, as intra-party fighting intensified after the election, the scene of Ho Chi Wai abandoning Chen Shizhong's sand painting immediately became a target for review of the Green Camp political commentary program. Xu Guoyong, the former head of the internal affairs department of the Democratic Progressive Party authorities, recently revealed on the program "The Most Brave in the World" that footage of Ho Zhiwei sending Chen Shizhong's sand paintings to the recycling area for disposal, triggering controversy over political investigation and prevention of "legislators" intervening in intra-party struggles.
To this end, the Kuomintang legislative caucus held a press conference and denounced the DPP for being a factionalist and not willing to extend its dirty hands of political investigation and prevention into the legislative body. Even if it may violate relevant "laws", it would publish the surveillance footage of He Zhiwei in the legislative body on a political commentary program. This is already an "international level scandal". It requires the head of the legislative body, You Xikun, and the secretary-general Lin Zhijia to hold the relevant personnel accountable for their legal and political responsibilities.
Kuomintang League Chief Zeng Mingzong questioned that the "cabinet" will be reorganized in the near future, which has triggered fierce internal fighting among the Democratic Progressive Party factions, and even the green media has begun to get involved. On April 28, 2021, when Lin Zhijia was questioned by the "legislators" at the "Judiciary and Legal Affairs Committee" regarding the controversy over the installation of surveillance cameras in the legislative area, he said, "The legislative body will never allow political investigation and prevention." The words are still in my ears. In his political commentary program, Xu Guoyong actually disclosed the surveillance footage of He Zhiwei littering Chen Shizhong's sand painting portrait during the election event on October 27 last year.
Zeng Mingzong pointed out how serious this matter is. Does it also mean that the dynamics of the 113 "legislators" and the people who came to negotiate with the public have been grasped by interested parties?
Hong Mengkai, deputy secretary-general of the Kuomintang League, pointed out that green media political commentary programs leaked footage of the whereabouts of "legislators" from the surveillance cameras of the legislative body, which has violated the relevant provisions of the "Personal Data Protection Law" and has related criminal liability. He asked Lin Zhijia to formally file a lawsuit against the host of the political commentary program who publicly broadcast the leaked images.
Kuomintang "Legislator" Li Dewei warned the Democratic Progressive Party, please take the dirty hands of political investigation and prevention away from the legislative body. At the same time, he strictly demanded that the "Security Six Corps", Lin Zhijia and You Xikun, who control the video footage, must make it clear to the outside world, and more importantly, they must have an attitude and give the legislative body a clean space.
In the face of doubts, You Xikun, the head of the legislative branch of the DPP authorities, argued that according to his understanding, the video of the legislative body had not been leaked. As for why there is that video, it remains to be verified whether it is the original video of the legislative body. As for which "legislators" were transferred, You still said that the transfer was in accordance with regulations. If the outflow is the responsibility of colleagues, violations will be dealt with strictly.
As for He Zhiwei himself, he said in a recent interview with the media, "Friends who feel uncomfortable, please call me directly and I will make you a cup of coffee." He also said that people have indeed come to him and chatted with him in the past few days. No one is completely right or wrong. It is a good thing to start internal dialogue.
He Zhiwei also complained about Xu Guoyong, how could an old "minister" use the screen to make a program? Unfortunately, the ratings were only one or two hundred people. However, the footage from the doorway and corridor can be leaked out at will. This is "illegal" and he officially reserves his right to pursue legal action.
