江主席再次呼籲蔡總統向國會進行國防外交國情報告
中國國民黨主席江啟臣今(16)日於中常會發表談話,江主席強調,監督執政是在野黨的天職,預算審查更是在野黨了解施政進度、看緊人民荷包、確保政策方向的重要工作。針對上週民進黨刻意操作預算提案,將在野監督的工作當作政治攻防的攻擊目標,主席表示,民進黨此舉不但缺乏執政高度,更把國家政策當成政治攻防,令人失望。
江主席指出,民進黨的作法僅是凸顯民進黨一向把攻擊異己的優先順序,放在政策落實之上的狹隘格局;民進黨真正在乎的是透過攻擊在野黨轉移施政不力的焦點,而不是政策的落實。
江主席表示,國會議員凍結預算的提案,主要在檢視執行進度,確保預算花用合理性以避免弊端。民進黨操作預算提案,是對於國會職權的污衊,是對於不分黨派立委提案監督的政治攻擊。上週六,蔡英文總統更以發文方式呼籲不分黨派的立委支持國防外交預算,他提醒蔡主席、蔡總統,一邊放任民進黨用臉書圖文攻擊在野黨,一方面又要訴諸團結,不只是自我打臉,更顯示總統對於立法院議事審查程序的不熟悉,對於立委提案的不了解!
江主席重申,對於國防與外交的預算,國民黨黨團絕對願意給予最大限度的支持,但更會要求完整清楚的執行進度,確保人民的血汗錢,花在刀口上。他強調,面對在野的監督,行政團隊應該向總統做完整的報告,更應該向國會提出完整的政策說明與進度交代,而不是政治攻擊,更不是總統口中廉價的團結。
江主席強調,國民黨更要呼籲蔡英文總統,勇敢面對民意的挑戰。國防外交本來就是總統職權,如果總統要協助行政單位說明這些政策的重要性,就應該正面回應在野黨提出國情報告的提案,正式到國會來說明我國整體的國防與外交政策包括國家利益,而不是只是透過社群平台發聲,只想在網路世界喊話,卻不願意到立法院來,彰顯總統的憲政格局。

下星期立法院院會將進行萊豬進口行政命令及相關法案審查,江主席指出,總統府對於國民黨於十一月二十四日提出的辯論邀請卻仍舊沒有正式回文。政治上,總統的迴避態度明確,總統府行政程序怠惰、傲慢至此,同樣令人失望!從宣佈萊豬開放,到行政命令備查改審查,一路走來,民進黨的態度消極,缺乏與在野黨跟社會溝通的誠意,他認為這並不是推動爭議政策應有態度與方法。
最後,對於連續絕食九十幾個小時的沈智慧中常委,已經送醫急救,卻沒等到民進黨政府的任何回應,江主席表示,這也再次顯示民進黨強渡關山、拒絕溝通的粗暴態度。國民黨除了希望沈常委保重身體,更希望她捍衛食安的意志,可以具體傳達給所有國人。同時,也呼籲所有國人在最後關鍵時刻用多元的方式反應民意,要求自己選出來的立法委員站在民意這邊。另一方面,國民黨更要提醒民進黨委員,勇敢拒絕黨意的綁架,忠實呈現民意對於食安的重視,用表決來守護下一代的健康。

Chairman Chiang Once Again Calls Upon President Tsai: Come to Legislative Yuan & Give State of the Republic Address on National Defense and Foreign Affairs!
Kuomintang (KMT) Chairman Johnny Chiang spoke at the Central Standing Committee today (December 16th) and emphasized that keeping the ruling party in check is the opposition party’s duty. Furthermore, the opposition party should employ budget examinations to better understand the ruling administration’s schedule in governance, maintain tight scrutiny of the peoples’ tax dollars, and ensure overall policy direction. Yet, the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) manipulation of public opinion regarding the budget proposal has resulted in the treatment of the opposition party’s supervision responsibility as nothing but partisan attack. In response, Chairman Chiang stated that the DPP’s actions not only lacks conduct fit for office, but worse, uses state policy for partisan purposes. Sad!
Chairman Chiang pointed out that the DPP’s methods merely make clear that the DPP has always narrow mindedly prioritized attacking dissidents over policy implementation; what the DPP actually cares about is diverting attention away from its own failures by attacking opposition parties, and not policy implementation.
Chairman Chiang also stated that the legislative freezing of the budget proposal was principally to examine progress on policy implementation and to ensure that the budget was being spent rationally in order to prevent corruption. The DPP’s response to this is nothing but slander of legislative authority and partisan attack on nonpartisan legislative oversight. Furthermore, in a message posted on her Facebook page last Saturday, President Tsai Ing-wen called upon nonpartisan legislators to support the national defense and foreign affairs budget. Chairman Chiang reminded Chairwoman Tsai / President Tsai of one thing: allowing the DPP to use Facebook posts to attack opposition parties while at the same time appealing for unity not only harms her own reputation, but also clearly shows that she is unfamiliar with the official procedures of Legislative Yuan examination and is unfamiliar with legislative committee draft proposals!
Chairman Chiang reiterated that, regarding the national defense and foreign affairs budget, the KMT caucus is unequivocally willing to supply its utmost support. However, the caucus requires a clear and complete implementation schedule to ensure that the people’s hard-earned money is spent on critical areas. He emphasized that the Tsai administrative team, when confronted with opposition oversight, should prepare a comprehensive report for the president and should, more crucially, propose comprehensive explanation and progress briefings for the Legislative Yuan. The team should not engage in partisan attack, and nor should it rally as the president’s cheap mouthpiece.
Chairman Chiang further emphasized that the KMT calls upon President Tsai Ing-wen to bravely face the challenge of public opinion. National defense and foreign affairs are, of course, powers which belong to the president. If the president wishes to assist its administration in explaining the importance of these policies, the president should directly respond to the opposition party’s proposal for a State of the Republic Address and formally descend upon the Legislative Yuan to explain the ROC’s comprehensive national defense and foreign policy, including the nation’s interests. The president should not merely broadcast on social media platforms, relying merely on the internet to shout slogans while unwilling to descend upon the Legislative Yuan to display the constitutional office of the president.
The Legislative Yuan will begin to review the racto-pork import executive order and relevant bills next week. Regarding this review, Chairman Chiang pointed out that the Presidential Office has still failed to formally reply to the KMT’s November 24th debate invitation. On a political level, the president’s attitude has been obviously dismissive, and the Presidential Office’s administrative procedures have so far been idle and arrogant. Sad! From the racto-pork import announcement, to executive ordering that mandatory deliberations be changed to merely filing for future reference, the DPP’s attitude has been negative the entire time and has lacked sincere communication with opposition parties and society as a whole. Chairman Chiang believes that these are not the proper attitudes and methods to push controversial policies.
Lastly, Central Standing Committee Member Shen Chih-huei, who has been on a hunger strike for over ninety hours and has already been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, has nevertheless received absolutely no response from the DPP government. Regarding this issue, Chairman Chiang stated that this once again demonstrates the DPP’s cruel attitude of insistence on force and refusal to communicate. The KMT, in addition to wishing Central Standing Committee Member Shen good health, also hopes that her willpower to safeguard food safety can be concretely conveyed to the entire ROC. At the same time, the KMT also calls upon all ROC citizens to respond with the popular will at this final, crucial juncture, demanding that the legislators that were picked by the citizens themselves stand by their side. On the other hand, the KMT reminds DPP legislators to courageously reject their party’s intention to kidnap the nation and instead faithfully adhere to the public’s prioritization of food safety and vote to protect the health of the next generation.
