Release time:Apr 13, 2024 20:44 PM

"A political party that advocates for 'freedom, democracy, human rights, and all progressive values' hides so much sexual harassment and unsightly workplace bullying against female party workers, as well as the unwillingness, appeasement, or indifference of those in power, which is shocking, indignant, and infuriating..."

Since the end of last month when a former female party worker claimed to have suffered sexual harassment, at least 10 cases of internal sexual harassment within the Democratic Progressive Party have been exposed, revealing her hypocrisy. The Chairman of the Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation, You Yinglong, made the above comments and angrily criticized the Democratic Progressive Party.

Currently, a storm is sweeping through the Women's Department, Organization Department, Youth Department, and Tsai Ing wen's office of the Democratic Progressive Party, and will impact next year's election.

"Breaking through the mask of political hypocrisy"

On May 31st, a former female party worker from the Democratic Progressive Party revealed that she had been sexually harassed by pro green film and television workers known as "Hui Ge" by Tsai Ing wen in September last year.

The party worker subsequently reported this matter to Xu Jiatian, the then director of the Women's Development Department of the Democratic Progressive Party, but was humiliated by the other party, causing her to be injured twice and thus resigned.

Next, another female party worker named Cai Mulin, who was then the director of the Democratic Progressive Party's Youth Department and later the confidential secretary of the "Deputy Minister of Labor Affairs" Li Junkai, accused her of sexually harassing her colleague Chen, and even demanded an apology from the victim. Chen was exposed as Chen Youhao, a capable subordinate of Cai Mulin at the time and currently serving as a media officer.

In the following days, allegations of sexual assault or harassment by Democratic Progressive Party affiliated individuals were constantly exposed, and Tsai Ing wen's office was also involved. According to Taiwanese media reports on the 4th, a female party worker posted on Facebook in an undisclosed manner, stating that she had experienced sexual harassment since 2015 during her 8-year tenure at the Friends of the Young, including an important member of the organization.

Subsequently, the famous figure Huang Yangming directly pointed out that this "important person" is the current "Senior Minister of the Presidential Office". He said that from the exposed content, it is not difficult to see that this senior official is "talking and acting", not only verbally harassing, but also engaging in actual behavior.

Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao said on the 5th that the DPP had exposed 10 cases of sexual harassment. The series of accusations have torn apart the ugly truth behind the Democratic Progressive Party's long-standing claim of "gender equality".

Taiwan United News Network commented that the sexual harassment storm sweeping the Democratic Progressive Party, with its wide scope and long duration, indicates that sexual harassment has become a norm within the DPP authorities, which undoubtedly exposes the DPP's long-standing political hypocrisy.

"Sexual harassment is the DNA of the Democratic Progressive Party"

"sexual harassment is the DNA of the Democratic Progressive Party. The Democratic Progressive Party is terminally ill. " Tsai Cheng-yuan, a famous Taiwanese mouthpiece, lambasted him in a TV program.

According to Taiwanese media reports, last week, "sexual harassment" ranked first in the hot search terms on the internet, and some netizens even listed over 40 past sexual harassment cases by the Democratic Progressive Party on the island forum. For example, in 2022, Xie Xiaoxing, the head of the Democratic Progressive Party's atomic energy management agency, was charged with suspected workplace sexual harassment and bullying; In the same year, Chen Shizhong, a Democratic Progressive Party candidate for Taipei mayor, extended a "salty pig hand" to the woman next to him after drinking; Li Zhenghao, who was recently called up by the Democratic Progressive Party to run for public opinion representative, is accused of threatening his ex girlfriend with a private video

Some media outlets have pointed out that sexual harassment within the Democratic Progressive Party is already notorious, and the reason why this "serial sexual harassment case" has sparked public opinion is because of the prevalence of "eating cases" in the past.

On June 2nd, Democratic Progressive Party Taipei City Councilor He Menghua held a press conference to introduce that in 2018, when she was serving as the DPP Youth Department Director, a sexual harassment case occurred. She demanded that the DPP Central Committee actively handle it, but the process was repeatedly frustrated. Although Lin Nangu, who was involved in the case, was transferred to another unit, he was actually promoted from a small department to a large department, and later served as the Deputy Director of the Democratic Progressive Party Organization Department.

The convener of the Kuomintang legislative caucus, Tsang Ming chung, revealed that the Kuomintang had proposed a comprehensive review of the current mechanism for sexual harassment appeals in government agencies, but it was rejected by all 58 Democratic Progressive Party representatives.

Not only are there difficulties in seeking justice and treating chronic illnesses, but also individuals involved in sexual harassment cases within the Democratic Progressive Party who have been exposed are still fearless and very arrogant.

After He Menghua held a press conference, Lin Nangu was quickly asked to resign, while former Democratic Progressive Party member Zhang Yisu claimed, "I cried, he is my brother.". Another former director of the Democratic Progressive Party's Youth Department involved in the case, Cai Mulin, even issued a statement through a lawyer, stating that she will "defend her innocence" through the judiciary.

Taiwan legislator Wang Wanyu criticized Cai Mulin's statement as completely absurd, using "blind spots from a novice supervisor's perspective" as an excuse throughout, completely unwilling to face the fact that he mishandled sexual harassment incidents.

"It seems ironic now."

After a series of sexual harassment cases, Democratic Progressive Party Chairman Lai Ching te held a crisis management meeting, publicly apologized twice to stop losses, and proposed a so-called "three point reform plan.". But these scandals have severely damaged the image of the Democratic Progressive Party, and the people on the island are further recognizing its face.

According to public opinion data from the Taiwan Issues Research Center, the Democratic Progressive Party had a network favorability of 0.3 before the sexual harassment case, and even soared to 0.53 in mid May. However, after the sexual harassment case, the DPP's negative voice surged, and Lai Ching te's network favorability plummeted to a new low of 0.21.

A commentary from Taiwan's China Times pointed out that the young votes of the Democratic Progressive Party are already decreasing, and the outbreak of sexual harassment cases is a fatal blow.

Li Qingguo, a veteran media official, wrote that Lai Qingde carried out organizational transformation when he took over as chairman of the Democratic Progressive Party this year, changing the name of the Ministry of Women's Development to the "Ministry of gender Equality," which now looks ironic.

The article argues that the intensive and prolonged nature of sexual harassment cases has shaken Lai Ching te's campaign path, especially adding insult to injury to the already lost youth votes.

Yu Yinglong pointed out that if this matter is not handled properly, it may cause the loss of young, female, highly educated, and middle-class voters, seriously impacting the Democratic Progressive Party's election prospects for next year.

New comment: Donkey like "morale" limit pulls US debt "bomb" fuse hard to dismantle US | debt | morale

On the evening of June 1st, the US Senate passed a bill on the federal government's debt ceiling and budget, and the flame of the US debt bomb was temporarily extinguished at the last moment. The two parties in the United States have staged an extreme tug of war over the US debt bomb. Some experts believe that the US debt crisis is the result of the reckless politics promoted by the US dollar hegemony, and the underlying cause of this crisis is the highly polarized political system of the US. Since the end of World War II, the US Congress has adjusted the debt ceiling more than a hundred times. The recurring debt crisis will not only have a catastrophic impact on the US economy and people's livelihoods, but also continuously erode the value of US dollar assets such as government credit and US bonds, bringing significant and far-reaching impacts to the global economic landscape. 【
