A day after his election as a Greater Kaohsiung City councilor, former president Chen Shui-bian’s (陳水扁) son spoke about his jailed father and an alliance of municipal council members who insist that Taiwan and China are separate countries.

2010 ELECTIONS: DPP worried over Chen Chih-chung

Friday, 26 November 2010 08:44 Taipei Times

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislators yesterday said they feared a call by pro-localization groups for voters to support former president Chen Shui-bian’s (陳水扁) son in the Greater Kaohsiung City councilor election tomorrow could affect the party’s performance.

Calling on voters to act “wisely,” DPP Legislator Pan Men-an (潘孟安) said the groups’ support for Chen Chih-chung (陳致中), the former president’s son, could hurt the party in the elections.

Pro-localization groups and the “One Side, One Country” political group plan to hold two meetings to explain why they have launched a signature drive asking that former president Chen Shui-bian (陳水扁) be pardoned, Taiwan Hakka Society chairman Chang Yeh-shen (張葉森) said yesterday.

The petition asks President Ma Ying-jeou (馬英九) to exercise his presidential prerogative to pardon Chen, who is in Taipei Prison serving a 17-and-a-half year jail sentence for embezzlement.
