(Central News Agency reporter Wen Kuei-hsiang, Taipei, 16th) Presidential Office Spokesperson Kuo Ya-hui today expressed a solemn protest against the Kuomintang's (KMT) allegations that Vice Chairman Li Chien-lung's car was bugged with a tracker and that it was related to President Lai Ching-te. She called on Li Chien-lung and the KMT to immediately gather relevant evidence to file a report and press charges, so that police and prosecutorial units can swiftly investigate and bring the truth to light.
The Presidential Office stated this morning that Kuo Ya-hui strictly protested the malicious allegations made by KMT Culture and Communications Committee Chairwoman Yin Nai-ching, claiming "KMT Vice Chairman Li Chien-lung's car was bugged with a tracker related to the President."
Kuo Ya-hui stated that Taiwan is a democratic country, and if the vice chairman of a political party is subjected to illegal surveillance, it is a very serious matter. Not only does it shock the public's trust in the country's democracy and rule of law, but it also affects the reputations of relevant government personnel, and thus cannot be vaguely dismissed. Li Chien-lung has the responsibility to submit the relevant evidence and report the case to the police and prosecutors to strictly investigate illegal acts; otherwise, the truth will be difficult to clarify.
Kuo Ya-hui said that whether it is to clarify public trust, dispel external doubts, protect Li Chien-lung's legal rights, or defend the innocence of those implicated by the insinuations, there is no room for ambiguous handling or resolving the case privately. Especially regarding the time sensitivity of preserving evidence like trackers, it should be handled immediately. She asked Li Chien-lung and the KMT to promptly report and press charges with evidence, urging authorities to intervene quickly and reveal the truth. (Editor: Hsieh Chia-chen) 1150416
