Tainan mayor refuses to attend council meetings
(台南市長拒絕參加市議會之會議)
http://ppt.cc/uJ-N
Greater Tainan Mayor William Lai (賴清德) yesterday said he would not attend
any of the municipality's city council meetings until corruption cases against
newly elected council speaker Lee Chuan-chiao (李全教) of the Chinese
Nationalist Party (KMT) are settled.
昨日台南市長賴仔說在新任議長李全教賄選爭議事件尚未釐清前，並不會參與任何有關市
議會所舉辦的會議。
Lai made the announcement as Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Greater Tainan
councilors boycotted the interim city council meeting yesterday. DPP councilors
on Sunday said Lee had called an extraordinary meeting as a pretext for not
appearing in court for a case that was to be heard yesterday. Lee later denied
that the calling of the extraordinary meeting was politically motivated or
initiated by him.
賴仔引領民進黨籍議員一同抵制臨時市議會會議，李全教很奸詐地以特別會議為由沒有出
席當選無效官司法庭上，李後來辯稱並否認此特別會議是他提起。
Lai said Tainan is the mecca of democracy in Taiwan, something that residents
have always been proud of.
賴仔說大台南是咱們引以為傲的民主聖地。
However, this pride has been harmed by Lee, whose position as a councilor is
in question, after the Tainan District Prosecutors' Office filed corruption
charges against him on Wednesday last week seeking to invalidate his victory
in the city council election on Nov. 29 last year, Lai said, adding that the
office has also launched an investigation into alleged ballot-buying in the
council speaker election.
然而，民主被李全教糟蹋，台南地檢已在上周三發起當選無效之訴，
賴仔補充說道，南檢同時也在調查因賄選事件而跑票之議員。
Lee is the first politician in the nation's history of self-governance to be
simultaneously involved in bribery charges in both city councilor and council
speaker elections, Lai said, calling Lee a disgrace to Tainan. Lee had
transformed Tainan City Council, a sanctuary of democracy, into a shelter, Lai
added.
李全教是地方自治史上第一位涉及賄選及當選無效訴訟的政治人物，
賴仔說李是台南的恥辱，企圖尋求市議會做為避難所。
Lai then spoke against New Taipei City Mayor Eric Chu (朱立倫), the sole
candidate for the Jan. 17 KMT chairman election, for what he described as
failure to respond to public calls for change after the party's defeat in the
nine-in-one elections by choosing to stand in solidarity with Lee, a person
involved in double bribery cases, when Chu visited Tainan on Sunday.
國民黨黨主席候選人朱立倫選擇與李站在同一陣線並聲援，而賴仔發言反對，說國民黨並
未記取九合一選舉失敗的教訓。
Lai also criticized Chu for speaking against the judicial system as “being
manipulated by certain people.”
賴仔批評朱立倫"司法單位都被特定人士所操縱"
“Not only did he trample on the justice system, he embraced ‘black money,’”
he said, referring to the alleged bribery.
關於涉嫌受賄，指出朱踐踏了司法系統並擁抱黑金。
“At [Monday’s] meeting of the legislature’s Internal Administration
Committee, the amendment bill to the Local Government Act (地方制度法) to have
council speakers and deputy council speakers elected by open registered ballots
got blocked by KMT legislators. It is extremely disappointing that the KMT has
again chosen to be absent on the road to reform,” Lai said.
賴仔說，立法院內政委員會審查地方制度法正副議長改採「記名投票」修正案，受到國民
黨立委杯葛，在改革的路上，國民黨又選擇再度缺席。
He said he had no choice but to support the residents of Tainan by refusing to
enter the disgraced council until the cases are settled.
賴仔堅持市議會案件處理完善之後才進市議會備詢。
Lee responded by saying that the mayor's remarks were made “on impulse,”
adding that the interim council meeting was called to serve the public on
various issues such as food safety, organizational restructuring and the
urban-rural divide.
李回應說賴市長的言論是一時衝動，並稱臨時理事會會議開始為市民服務的各種問題，如
食品安全，組織結構調整和城鄉差別。
“There have only been instances of the city council speaking scathingly
against the municipality government; it should not take place in the opposite
direction,” Lee said.
李還笑著說，從來只有議會嗆市府，沒看過市府嗆議會。
As for accusations leveled by DPP Legislators Chiu Yi-ying (邱議瑩) and Tuan
Yi-kang (段宜康) that funding from China was involved in the council speaker
election, Lee said that if the two are willing to give up their legislative
immunity, he would be “a coward if he does not dare to sue them.”
立委邱議瑩、段宜康等人指控這次議長選舉有中資介入一事，李全教表示，邱及段2人，
若肯放棄言論免責權，「我若不敢告，我是龜孫子。」
