Registration for Yilan County Magistrate Election Opens 林姿妙.江聰淵 皆今日登記參選宜縣長

Yilan County Magistrate Lin Zi-miao registered at the Yilan County Council at 9 a.m. on the 1st to run for the county's magistrate, while DPP candidate Chiang Tsung-yuan registered at 10 a.m. Police was present to maintain order between the two opposing groups of supporters.

Huang Cheng-ting, Yilan County Councilor (KMT): “Don't provoke any conflict. We won't provoke anyone. But we also do not accept the provocation of others. ”

KMT lawmakers appealed to supporters to be rational. The police surrounded a wall of people and stood guard because Yilan County Magistrate Lin Zi-miao and her DPP opponent Chiang Tsung-yuan both registered for the election on the 1st. They registered within one hour apart from each other. Fortunately, there was no conflict, but the two sides still shouted at each other. The DPP slammed Lin for her corruption case, while the KMT called it judicial persecution.

Chen Chin-te, Former Interim Yilan County Magistrate: “Her daughter intervened in the county government to reduce their relatives' NT$1.12 million government tax and to let their relatives earn NT$3 billion.”

Justin Huang, KMT Secretary-General: “Prosecutors become the ruling party's tool for suppressing dissidents.”

Lin's campaign activities attracted a lot of people. Her children are also being investigated by prosecutors for corruption and fraud. They were also present to assist with activities. 

Lin Zi-miao, Yilan County Magistrate: “They are simple people who work hard. Because their father is gone, they are bravely doing the right thing.”

Chiang Tsung-yuan, DPP Yilan County Magistrate Candidate: “I will not let my family get involved with the government. And I will not let corruption incompetence become Yilan's shame.”

Chiang registered in the company of fellow legislators Chen Ou-po, Chen Chin-te, and others. He shouted slogans about changing the county magistrate by removing Lin and corruption. He again promised he will not let Yilan lose face due to corruption and incompetence if he became magistrate.

國民黨宜蘭縣議員黃琤婷表示：「千萬不要挑起衝突，我們不用主動挑釁，我們也不接受別人的挑釁。」

國民黨議員呼籲支持者理性，警方則圍起人牆、嚴陣以待，因為宜蘭縣長林姿妙與對手民進黨宜蘭縣長參選人江聰淵都選在1日上午登記參選，2人造勢活動都在縣議會，時間只隔1小時，所幸未釀衝突，不過雙方隔空仍砲火猛烈，民進黨猛批林姿妙貪汙官司，國民黨則高喊司法迫害。

前宜蘭縣代理縣長陳金德表示：「她女兒介入縣政為了要讓她們的親戚減112萬，為了要讓她們的親戚賺30億。」

國民黨秘書長黃健庭表示：「檢調成為執政黨打壓異己、政治追殺的工具。」

林姿妙的造勢活動人潮不少，同樣涉及貪汙弊案，被檢方調查的兒女也在現場進出、協助活動，面對對手質疑官司，林姿妙說自己簡單做人、認真做事，至於兒女仍出面協助她，林姿妙說，因為他們父親不在了，所以勇敢做對的事，為鄉親服務。

林姿妙表示：「簡單做人認真做事都實實在在，因為爸爸的不在，所以他們勇敢的 做對的事。」

江聰淵則說：「絕對不會讓家人干政，也不會讓貪汙、無能變成宜蘭的丟臉（丟宜蘭的臉)。」

江聰淵則在同黨的立委陳歐珀、陳金德等人的陪同下登記，現場高喊換縣長、下架林姿妙、下架貪汙的口號，江聰淵再度指出，擔任縣長絕對不會讓家人干政，也不讓貪汙、無能丟宜蘭的臉。
