Criticizing Chiang Wan-an's team for using administrative resources, Wu Pei-yi calls it a bad example

Wu Pei-yi, chairperson of the Democratic Progressive Party's Taipei City chapter, criticized Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an's team on the 6th for allegedly using administrative resources to attack political opponents. She stated this practice is a "very bad example" and rarely seen in previous Taipei mayoral elections.

During a press conference for the "Patrol and Guard Action" to recruit poll watchers, Wu Pei-yi said that Chiang's team often uses administrative resources to target city councilors who are supervising city affairs and speaking out for citizens. She noted that even raising concerns about excessive tree cutting can lead to such attacks.

This is a very bad example!

Wu Pei-yi also mentioned that the DPP's Taipei mayoral candidate, Shen Po-yang, received a warm reception during his three-and-a-half-hour campaign sweep of Raohe Night Market on the 4th. Many parents brought their children to meet him, and some even took photos via video call. Shen Po-yang also gathered tourism suggestions from vendors, which he plans to incorporate into his platform.

She urged all candidates to engage in rational discussion and allow for free expression of opinions during the election. Wu Pei-yi expressed concern that Chiang's administration's actions, including the recent bid failure for school lunches, and their alleged use of administrative resources to attack opponents, set a poor precedent. She called for a return to rational discourse and a good election environment.

We hope that elections can have space for rational discussion and free expression.
