(Ling Media/Comprehensive Report) The nine-in-one general election has come to an end. Zhong Dongjin, the magistrate-elect of Miaoli County, was dissatisfied with being expelled from the KMT for registering as a non-party member and leaving the party. The District Court held its first hearing today (8th). The judge suggested that Zhong Dongjin follow the party’s complaint channel for relief, and ordered that the hearing be held on January 19 next year to confirm whether the two parties have the willingness to mediate. In this regard, the KMT Chairman Zhu Lilun responded that the KMT has a position and principles and will handle it in accordance with relevant regulations.
Zhong Dongjin pointed out that the Kuomintang abandoned party members and public opinion surveys, and let the party oligarchs decide the county magistrate candidates, which is suspected of violating Article 1 of the Political Party Law “In order to establish a fair competition environment for political parties, ensure that the organization and operation of political parties conform to democratic principles, and improve party politics. “, and Article 5 of the Political Party Law “The organization and operation of political parties shall conform to democratic principles.”
Zhong Dongjin believes that he has joined the Kuomintang for more than 20 years. He has made dedication and has no complaints or regrets, but he has been treated unreasonably. Hualien Mayor Wei Jiaxian’s revocation of party membership meeting materials, hoping to clarify why he ran for the same violation of discipline. Wei Jiaxian was only punished with “revocation of party membership” (cannot apply for reinstatement of party membership within 3 years), while Zhong was “expelled from the party membership” (within 6 years Cannot apply for reinstatement of party membership). The court agreed to read the materials of Zhong Dongjin’s expulsion from the party, but Wei Jiaxian’s case was dismissed because it had nothing to do with this case.
In addition, it is worth noting that the Taipei District Court held a court session today, and the trial judge urged both parties to mediate three times during the hearing. Shortly following the trial, the judge asked the lawyers of both parties without warning, “Now that the election is over, are you willing to mediate?” I will reply within a week, and the Kuomintang lawyer hastily agreed.
Not long following, the judge asked lawyer Zhong Dongjin whether he had appealed to the Kuomintang through the party’s relief channel? Lawyer Zhong Dongjin said that there was indeed a complaint, but the Kuomintang insisted that Zhong was no longer a party member, so he filed the lawsuit. In this regard, the judge said earnestly, if it can be dealt with through internal complaints, do we have to file a lawsuit? “You (Zhong Dongjin) have already been elected, and you should be able to do county affairs and county administration well. If the internal affairs of the political party can be mediated privately, they will be handled privately. This will give more space. If it is handed over to the court, it can only be handled in accordance with the law. Judgment, at this time the two parties have no room for maneuver.” The judge also told the two parties whether they would report their willingness to mediate within two weeks.
As for Zhong Dongjin, if he returns to the Kuomintang, will he violate the “criminal exclusion clause”? Zhu Lilun Zhu Lilun was interviewed when he went south to Yunlin to participate in the Thanksgiving Tea Party. This matter will be handled in accordance with relevant regulations, and the outside world does not need to see the needles. “We are all a family in the KMT, and there is no need to cause right and wrong because of this process.”
