the new session of taiwan's public opinion institutions opened a few days ago. the kmt and the people's party jointly returned the 2025 general budget to the "procedure committee". on the 23rd, the dpp caucus in the kaohsiung city council pointed the finger at kmt legislator ke zhien, who intends to run for the 2026 kaohsiung mayor, and criticized the blue and white parties for jointly blocking the general budget. ke zhien countered that it was like the general manager and the accountant working together to inflate the financial report. it is natural for the opposition party to supervise the budget.

huang wen-yi, chairman of the dpp kaohsiung city party committee, criticized that the blue and white factions have been in chaos and now have returned the total budget. everyone knows what they are thinking. it is precisely because their wrongdoings have been exposed that they are trying to divert attention and are blaming the construction of the entire taiwanese people.

in this regard, ke zhien emphasized that "it is a refund, not a ban." it is like the general manager and the accountant working together to inflate the financial report and pocket their own money. can everyone accept this? for example, the money needed by the people, the value of the medical and health insurance point is 0.95 yuan (new taiwan dollars, the same below), but it is not included. the public grain purchase price per kilogram has increased from 26 yuan to 31 yuan, but these differences have not been included. therefore, it is refunded and they are asked to re-examine.

ko chien-en retorted, "it is said that ko chien has banned the construction of kaohsiung. may i ask where have you seen any budget cuts i proposed that are related to kaohsiung? can you point it out to me?" rejection and ban are two verbs with different concepts. please clarify this before criticizing the actions of the opposition party. it is natural for the opposition party to supervise the executive yuan budget and protect the people's wallets. please ask the dpp to stop spreading rumors.

the kmt kaohsiung city party committee also said that if the dpp really cares about the budget and taiwan's development, it should seriously compile a budget instead of submitting a delayed and inflated budget. "it's like a student submitting a report full of errors, and the teacher returns the report for rewriting. the student should make improvements instead of crying and making a fuss and saying that the teacher doesn't care about the student's future. please don't change the concept, dpp."
