The Taipei City Council commenced its session today, confirming the agenda for this regular general meeting. According to the plan, Mayor Chiang Wan-an will deliver his policy report to the council on the 9th and 10th. Regarding the city government's labor shortage, the report mentions proactive measures, including raising job grades, strengthening incentive mechanisms, and utilizing diverse recruitment channels.
In response to Chiang Wan-an's policy report and interpellation session at the city council on the afternoon of the 9th, the Blue (KMT), Green (DPP), and White (TPP) party caucuses have made their preparations. Wang Min-sheng, convener of the DPP caucus, stated in a joint interview today that they would raise a motion of privilege before Chiang Wan-an's report, reminding him to pay attention to subsequent policy actions.
Regarding potential obstruction, Wang Min-sheng said the DPP caucus would hold an early meeting that day to discuss with party members. As for focusing on specific policies, he respects the autonomy and initiative of individual party members.
Lin Chen-yu, convener of the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) caucus in the Taipei City Council, said in a joint interview at the council that the TPP would continue to focus on major livelihood issues during Chiang Wan-an's policy report, such as urban renewal, long-term care, childcare, transportation policies, and the future development of Taipei Tech Park.
Lin Chen-yu stated that Chiang Wan-an has promoted many municipal policies, but they are limited to specific policies and groups, such as childcare policies, and municipal administration should adopt balanced development. Furthermore, Chiang Wan-an's recent policy promotions have lacked prior communication with the council, often being publicized externally before requiring grassroots civil servants to implement them. The TPP will take action to make Chiang Wan-an understand the relevant situation.
Taipei City Council KMT caucus convener Hsu Hung-ting said in a joint interview that the city government's preliminary supplementary budget proposals for this session are all for social welfare policies, and it is expected that other party caucuses will not take excessive actions. However, if a 'resist China and protect Taiwan' strategy is adopted, it might impact the Green camp itself, making this issue difficult to maneuver.
Hsu Hung-ting stated that Chiang Wan-an's policy report process on the 9th is expected to proceed smoothly. If the Green camp takes significant actions like obstruction, the KMT will also be prepared to respond, but he believes it will not reach that stage. (Edited by Hsiao Po-wen) 1150408
