The local epidemic exploded, with more than 30,000 cases yesterday (5), causing panic among the people. You Yinglong, chairman of the Taiwan Public Opinion Foundation, said that the epidemic will cast a “super variable” for the Tsai government. Whether Minister of Health and Welfare Chen Shizhong can run for mayor of Taipei will also be affected. If the epidemic cannot be effectively controlled in the short term, he will be separated. Lack of skills, fear of being replaced. This statement has been hotly debated. Some netizens commented that “people’s lives are not as important as elections.” Many netizens believed that the epidemic was so serious, but the ruling party still took the election as the starting point, which made the people’s situation quite sad and wanted to cry.
You Yinglong posted on Facebook yesterday that this wave of epidemic will inevitably pose a very serious challenge to the Cai government. If it is not handled properly, not only will the outstanding performance of the two years of epidemic prevention be ruined, but it will also cast a huge variable for the 2022 election. Although the epidemic has always been an annoying variable that is difficult to guess but objectively exists, what will really affect the election is actually the attitude, method and efficiency of the Tsai government in handling the epidemic.
You Yinglong pointed out that he predicted the election of Taipei mayor on Facebook on April 3, that is, to analyze whether Chen Shizhong could run for mayor of Taipei as he wished, and there have been variables; If there is no skill, the possibility of running for election will decrease, and the possibility of DPP replacement will increase. “One month has passed, and now it seems to be in one sentence, if not a prophecy!”
This article was enthusiastically received, and netizens flocked to “Zhongshi News” and “yahoo! News” to leave messages: “People’s lives are not as important as elections”, “a ruling party that can only elect”, “The DPP is the ruling party.” But I only want elections, it’s sad”, “I can’t help crying when I think that we have this kind of government”, “How helpless the people are, does the DPP know?” Is it that serious? Maybe another poll will be thrown tomorrow, and the satisfaction rate is 87%.”
