[Newtalk新聞] President Tsai Ing-wen held a two-hour meeting with People’s Party Chairman Ko Wenzhe at the Presidential Palace on the 14th, which aroused dissatisfaction among the People’s Party’s legislative caucus chief Huang Guochang and other party members. Huang Guochang alleged that the DPP was “shameless” and that Ke Wenzhe was “a good person.” They all oppose the meeting between Ke Wenzhe and Tsai Ing-wen. Ko Wenzhe issued an open letter to members of the People’s Party on the 16th, stating that Tsai Ing-wen hopes to cooperate with the People’s Party on four issues: “labor insurance pension reform”, “increasing the defense budget”, “strengthening the social safety net” and “party communication platform”. The four issues are in line with the People’s Party’s ideals, and there is no reason for them not to have dialogue.
Ko Wenzhe mentioned in the letter that two months following the election, passions have gradually calmed down, and the People’s Party is on track in Congress. Regarding the 2024 presidential election, he does not believe that he has failed, but should be the first step towards success. Many people are asking how the People’s Party will choose in 2026 and how to choose in 2028? If you are thinking regarding the election now, you are really worrying regarding gains and losses. The People’s Party takes Taiwan as its name and puts the people first. In 2024, Ke Yingpei received 26% of the votes. Part of it was identification with Ke Wenzhe and former People’s Party legislator Wu Xinying, but a large part was disappointed with the two traditional political parties, blue and green.
Ko Wenzhe emphasized that the People’s Party supervises those in power to improve governance, rather than hoping that the DPP will not do well so that it can have a chance to thrive. Similarly, he also hopes that the Kuomintang can implement its ideas positively to win the trust of society. Democracy is a competition between political parties. If the People’s Party does well, Blue and Green will be better. This is the basic value presented by the People’s Party in the 2024 general election. Therefore, the current job of the People’s Party is to do the basic work well, conduct serious political inquiries in Congress, establish local organizations, integrate political ideas with public opinion, and strive to make the People’s Party the priority option for the Taiwanese people. He will also make reflections and improvements based on advice from all walks of life.
Ko Wenzhe pointed out that he had previously met with Tsai Ing-wen at the Presidential Palace. Tsai Ing-wen hopes to cooperate with the People’s Party on “labor security pension reform”, “increasing the defense budget”, “strengthening the social safety net” and “party communication platform”. These four issues are already in line with the People’s Party’s ideals, and there is no reason for them not to have dialogue. As for why the DPP did not do anything in the past eight years when it was fully in power, it was left to the people to evaluate. The biggest reason why Taiwan’s society cannot be harmonious at present lies in the various double standards of the ruling DPP. For example, the withdrawal of the party, government and military from the media was once a problem for the DPP. The party’s idea now is to directly shut down the ruling party and then recruit obedient ones to play a flanking role.
Ko Wenzhe continued to point out that the most outrageous thing is that when Zhongtian News, which was shut down, sought judicial relief, and the court ruled once morest the National Communications Commission (NCC) in many cases, the NCC still went its own way and insisted that it “has not lost yet.” This Of course it will arouse people’s resentment. To untie the bell, you need someone to tie it. Apart from the government admitting its mistakes, showing goodwill, and changing its double-standard behavior, there is no other way to calm the people’s resentment. At the end of the article, Ko Wenzhe appealed to comrades in the party: “We still insist on having good intentions and doing our best and continue to move forward.”
