(Central News Agency reporter Wang Yang-yu, Taipei, 8th) Media reported that KMT New Taipei mayoral candidate Lee Sze-chuan implicitly criticized DPP New Taipei mayoral candidate Su Chiao-hui as "one generation passing to the next," sparking discussion. Su Chiao-hui stated in an interview today that she is not a second generation of party-state authoritarianism, nor a second generation nurtured by rich party assets. She hopes the election will return to a comparison of urban visions.
Media reported that when Lee Sze-chuan was giving a speech during an event on the 7th, he implicitly criticized his opponent (Su Chiao-hui) as "one generation passing to the next" and having a "better fate," while he himself worked step by step for social progress.
In response, Su Chiao-hui stated in a joint media interview in front of the Legislative Yuan today that people might have forgotten that when the previous generation was defending the Formosa Incident, "we were shaped into a second generation of rebels by the KMT." Furthermore, after events like the Lin Family Massacre and the Chen Wen-cheng Incident, what they carried in their childhood was not assets, but fear.
Su Chiao-hui said, "We are not a second generation of party-state authoritarianism, nor a second generation nurtured by rich party assets. We will be a second generation of democracy." As for the election, she believes it should return to a comparison of candidates' abilities and urban visions for the city. It should continue to discuss how to make New Taipei City progress better and faster, which is for the benefit of the city. (Editor: Zhai Si-chia) 1150508
