Wang Wan-yu criticizes Taiwan People’s Party while declining to assess Lee Chen-hsiu’s Hsinchu candidacy

Lee Chen-hsiu appeared to register her candidacy for mayor of Zhubei in Hsinchu County, presenting herself as a candidate whose campaign would move “一路綠燈,” or “with green lights all the way.”

New Power Party Chairperson Wang Wan-yu declined to say whether Lee was the right candidate. Speaking in Yilan while accompanying county council candidate Liu Chung-shu during registration, Wang said people could make their own assessment.

With green lights all the way.

Wang said Zhubei residents had high expectations and that the city could have the largest field of candidates among this year’s township and city races. As a Zhubei resident, she said she welcomed people willing to serve the city and fight for its rights.

“

Whether Lee Chen-hsiu is a suitable candidate is something everyone can judge for themselves. I do not need to say more.

She also declined to comment on Lee’s nearly all-designer outfit or whether she carried a Hermès bag. Wang said those choices were the right of each candidate and citizen.

Wang then turned her criticism toward the Taiwan People’s Party. She said it had never seriously developed a local presence or maintained local operations in Hsinchu County or Zhubei, and therefore might not be the best choice.

The Taiwan People’s Party has never seriously developed a local presence in Hsinchu County or Zhubei, so I do not think it may be the best choice.
