在野監督與國際觀點相符 防疫缺失連連國際認證
針對民進黨團今(29)日上午召開記者會批判在野黨相關監督作為。中國國民黨強調,變種病毒Delta已入侵台灣,國人健康安全暴露於更嚴峻的威脅中,相當遺憾執政黨把時間拿來開記者會「監督」在野黨,而不是盡快補足疫苗不足的防疫缺口,意圖扭曲在野黨監督之責來掩蓋執政黨的無能,體現出民進黨長期執政以來的專斷、封建思維,缺乏民主素養。
國民黨表示,身為在野黨善盡職責,在防疫政策上持續超前部署建議,一再強調「缺疫苗是台灣疫情嚴峻關鍵」,政府應正視缺失,盡快採購足量疫苗,國民黨一直以來的監督訴求與國際媒體揭露相符。彭博資訊才剛公布六月份各國「新冠韌性排名」,台灣從曾經最好的第2名滑落到第44名,在53個調查國家中幾乎墊底。顯現民進黨政府在防疫上太過自滿,避不面對疫苗採購不足問題。而面對台灣防疫表現在國際排名落入後段班更不思檢討,甚至試圖以政治攻防、誣陷在野黨的方式轉移防疫無能的窘境。
國民黨強調,在野黨監督與彭博社今日公布結果相符合,民進黨的防疫作為缺失連連已經是國際認證,請民進黨虛心接受各項監督與建議,有時間監督在野黨,不如多花心力督促執政團隊以民為重,儘快採購疫苗。「穩定安心的環境不是當權者專斷獨行、不聽建言就能實現的」,國人需要執政者有可行的政策、實際的作為來守護健康安全,執政黨只是用虛無飄渺的口頭承諾並無法讓人民安心,唯有取得足量疫苗,才能讓國人擁有真正穩定、安心的環境,守護台灣人民的健康安全,才是執政黨立委該盡的責任。
KMT: DPP Gov’t Fault in Covid Prevention Internationally Certified, Opposition Oversight on Par with International Perspectives
Regarding a group of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) members convening a press conference this (June 29th) morning to criticize the opposition party’s relevant role of oversight, the Kuomintang (KMT) emphasizes that the Delta variant of the virus has already invaded Taiwan; the health and safety of our compatriots has thus been exposed to an even grimmer threat. The KMT is quite sorry that the ruling party has taken the time to convene a press conference in order to “oversee” the opposition party instead of filling the pandemic prevention gap of vaccine insufficiency as quickly as possible. The ruling party has intentionally distorted the opposition party’s responsibility of oversight to conceal its own incompetence. This distortion truly embodies the DPP’s pattern of capriciousness, feudal way of thinking, and lack of democratic accomplishment since it has acquired office.
The KMT states that, as an opposition party which is fulfilling its responsibilities as well as possible, it has continuously suggested advance preparation regarding pandemic prevention policy and continuously emphasized that “lack of vaccines is a grim, critical point in Taiwan’s pandemic situation.” The government should face its shortcomings head-on and procure sufficient vaccines as quickly as possible. The KMT’s oversight appeals have always been on a part with international media exposés: Bloomberg News has just published its June “Covid Resilience Rankings” of different countries, wherein Taiwan has fallen from its former top ranking of second best, sliding down to 44th place: nearly at the bottom of the 53 total countries surveyed. The DPP government has apparently been excessively complacent regarding pandemic prevention, refusing to face its vaccine procurement insufficiency problems. The DPP further fails to self-reflect when faced with the drop in ranking of Taiwan’s pandemic prevention performance into the last few places, so much so that it instead attempts to use political attack and framing of the opposition party in order to divert attention away from its predicament of pandemic prevention incompetence.
The KMT emphasizes that its opposition oversight is in accordance with the results of today’s Bloomberg News rankings. The deficiency of the DPP’s pandemic prevention actions have already been internationally attested to again and again. The KMT asks the DPP to humbly accept all oversight and proposals. The DPP has the leisure to monitor opposition parties; it would be better to spend more effort urging the team holding office to complete what the people actually care about: procuring vaccines as quickly as possible. “An environment of stability and peace of mind cannot be achieved by the ruling authorities capriciously doing their own thing and ignoring suggestions.” Our compatriots need the ruling authorities to have feasible policy and practical action to protect our health and safety. The ruling party merely uses empty words to make promises but is unable to let the people feel at ease. Only by acquiring sufficient vaccines can our compatriots have an environment of genuine stability and peace of mind. Protection of the Taiwanese people’s health and safety is the responsibility that the ruling party Legislators should truly be doing their best to fulfill.
