Chen Shih-chung spills the beans on fellow Taipei mayoral candidates

Chen Shih-chung spills the beans on fellow Taipei mayoral candidates

2022-07-28

As the Taipei mayoral election approaches, DPP candidate Chen Shih-chung is considered the party’s best bet in 24 years. But is the former health minister ready to take on Taiwan’s capital? He sat down with FTV Vice President Hu Wan-ling胡婉玲for an exclusive interview. She grilled him on his thoughts on fellow candidates, as well as his response to criticism from current Taipei mayor, Ko Wen-je.

Sitting down with FTV Vice President Hu Wan-ling, Chen Shih-chung expressed his determination to win the Taipei mayoral race.

Firstly, the DPP hasn’t been in power in Taipei for more than 20 years. Secondly, with the DPP in power, the central and local government can cooperate. If you give the DPP, or give me, this opportunity, to get the central and local government to work together, we will make a different Taipei, for sure. People will feel the progress of Taipei. We can promote Taipei’s mountains and rivers to the whole world.

But that dream will require Chen to win the votes. He says his life experience is more than sufficient, and he’s confident about his leadership and organizational abilities.

I think Chiang Wan-an is quite an impressive figure in the KMT. I think he’s a young man with a lot of potential. I think the KMT has not trained him enough. He should get more of a grounding in the Legislative Yuan. Huang Shan-shan has been in municipal governance a long time, of course. Neihu and Nangang are her constituency. But if she has been a city councilor there for so long, why does she still not have a real proposal to solve the transport problem for Neihu, or a well-developed plan?

In his mild way, Chen implied that Chiang is lacking experience and Huang can’t get problems solved. He even took aim at present mayor Ko Wen-je, who has often offered Chen advice.

Hu Wan-ling
FTV vice president
Mayor Ko said your odds are good as you’re a good actor and you’re good at spouting rubbish. You’ve probably heard that comment of his. What do you make of that? Do you accept his criticism?

Chen Shih-chung
Taipei mayoral candidate (DPP)
I think that what he said about me is also true of him. He’s rather good at talking nonsense.

Hu Wan-ling
FTV vice president
Taipei mayor Ko Wen-je said in the past that he did things chaotically in his first two years in office.

Chen Shih-chung
Taipei mayoral candidate (DPP)
If you take him as a mayor, it’s like he is reigning supreme, alone. Of course you can’t win your team’s heart like that. You can’t make use of their experience, and then the city government will go through a chaotic period. I wouldn’t make that mistake.

Chen is known for his tactful demeanor while making pointed remarks. His chat with FTV was no exception.

24年勝選率最高北市長參選人陳時中:給我機會

2022-07-28

競選台北市長的陳時中被稱為民進黨24年來勝選機率最高的北市長參選人,今天他接受民視新聞專訪,特別向選民喊話,希望給他機會,他要將台北的山河戀推銷到全世界。對於藍綠白三位選將的比較,陳時中說自己人生經歷充足,但蔣萬安訓練不足,他也砲轟黃珊珊,出身港湖議員,為何對內湖交通問題沒有建言?

接受民視新聞傳播群副總胡婉玲獨家專訪,民進黨台北市長參選人陳時中展現爭取入主北市府的誠意與決心。

“我想已經有20幾年,民進黨沒有執政過,第二個就是現在是民進黨,在地方跟中央可以一起來合作的,如果給民進黨或給我這樣的機會,我們中央跟地方一起合作,一定會建立一個不同的台北,讓他感受到台北的進步,有台北的山河戀,把台北推銷到全世界去”

不過要實現夢想,得先用選票打敗對手,陳時中自評人生歷練充足,對自己的領導能力和協調能力很有把握。

“蔣萬安大概在國民黨是表現比較傑出的,應該是未來很有潛力的一位年輕人,我覺得國民黨對他的訓練相對不足,應該讓他在立法院更多涉獵,珊珊當然市政從事很久,內湖南港這一帶是她選區,她既然在這裡當了那麼久議員,為什麼對於內湖之間的交通也都沒有真正的一個建言,完整的思考在”

左打蔣萬安沒經驗、右打黃珊珊不會解決問題,連常常給他指教的現任市長柯文哲,陳時中也沒在客氣。

[[民視新聞傳播群副總胡婉玲]]
“柯市長才講說,您勝算不低,比較會演,比較會講X話,您應該也聽過這段話,您的感覺,您接受他這樣對您的評論嗎”

[[台北市長參選人(民) 陳時中]]
“我也覺得他跟他講我的事情是一樣的啊,比較容易講X話,我講他嘛”

[[民視新聞傳播群副總胡婉玲]]
“台北市長柯文哲他就曾講過說,他在當市長的前兩年都在亂做”

[[台北市長參選人(民) 陳時中]]
“如果你把他當作,當一個市長,就好像是一人自己是獨大,當然你沒有辦法得到你部屬的心,你就沒有辦法運用他們的經驗,然後市政就會有一段的混亂(chaos)期,我不會犯這樣的錯誤”

雖然語氣平和,但攻擊火力強大,也讓人感受到陳時中"溫柔的魄力"。
