Legislator Huang Jie criticizes opposition parties for impacting vulnerable groups, buys 100 boxes of mooncakes

Huang Jie, a legislator and chairwoman of the Democratic Progressive Party's Kaohsiung chapter, has strongly criticized opposition parties for their actions impacting vulnerable populations. She specifically condemned the alleged budget cuts and freezes that have affected orders for Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes from 37 sheltered workshops across Taiwan, which were initially planned to be purchased by the Presidential Office.

I simply cannot stand by and watch! The malicious behavior of the blue and white parties bullying the disadvantaged is outrageous.

"I simply cannot stand by and watch! The malicious behavior of the blue and white parties bullying the disadvantaged is outrageous," Huang stated, expressing her anger. In response, she announced her decision to purchase 100 boxes of mooncakes from a Kaohsiung sheltered workshop in her capacity as party chairwoman. This action aims to provide tangible support to individuals with disabilities.

For sheltered workshops, each order represents more than just a gift box; it signifies a job, income, and an opportunity for the workers with disabilities to be recognized and affirmed by society.

Huang emphasized that for sheltered workshops, each order represents more than just a gift box; it signifies a job, income, and an opportunity for the workers with disabilities to be recognized and affirmed by society. She lamented that the Legislative Yuan is now targeting the disadvantaged, attributing the disruption of orders to "baseless animosity and retaliation" by the blue and white parties, which she claims not only affects government policy but also impacts the workshops' orders.

It is regrettable that the Legislative Yuan is now targeting the disadvantaged, and the blue and white parties' baseless animosity and retaliation not only affect government policy but also further impact the orders of sheltered workshops.

She further argued that the "improper political maneuvering" by these parties casts a shadow over the workers and families of many sheltered workshops. Huang's initiative to purchase 100 boxes, to be distributed to party committee members and staff, is intended to demonstrate practical support through consumption. She called on other businesses, organizations, and the public to prioritize purchasing products from sheltered workshops and disability groups for their Mid-Autumn Festival needs, stressing that "every gift box, every order, is the most concrete support for friends with disabilities."
