After the Spring Festival, the progress of Lai Qingde’s cabinet personnel layout has attracted much attention. People within the Democratic Progressive Party even suggested that when the three parties in Congress are less than half, the “DPP color” of the first cabinet minister should not be too strong, and he may have to leave. The “warm cabinet” line must be able to communicate with the opposition parties so that it will not be compromised immediately after taking office. Scholars also suggest that candidates who are too political are not a good thing. The candidate for the Central Cabinet will be determined as soon as March, and the cabinet will be positioned by the end of April.

▲The layout of Lai Qingde’s new cabinet has attracted attention.

Lai Ching-te smiled and did not answer the question, but the outside world is paying attention to the progress of the cabinet consultation, especially who can break through the tight siege of the new parliament. He was named.

Lin Jialong, Secretary-General of the Presidential Office: “With President Tsai and Vice President Lai by his side, come and participate in the promotion of national affairs.”

In addition to Lin Jialong, the secretary-general of the Presidential Palace who paid a low-key visit during the Spring Festival, Zhuo Rongtai, who accompanied Lai Qingde Longshan Temple on the first day of the new year, was also named. Other candidates include Zheng Wencan, who has rich administrative experience, Zheng Lijun, who has a warm personality, and economics majors. Zhu Jingyi, an academician of Academia Sinica, and others.

▲Five candidates for Lai Qingde’s new cabinet were named.

Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Wang Dingyu: “The ability to communicate and coordinate will become very important. It is ideal to be able to convince the three parties. If you cannot convince the three parties, at least you must be able to convince more than half of the support.”

There are three major directions for the future cabinet layout. The first is to use the “moderate cabinet” to dilute the color of the green camp and avoid losses immediately after taking office. The second is to recruit candidates who have communication channels with the key minority People’s Party to win over the white camp and contain the blue camp. The third is to choose someone with strong political party affiliation and directly fight against Blue and White.

When will the candidates be announced? It is understood that plans will be followed as usual, and the central cabinet ministerial office is expected to be released as soon as March. The cabinet personnel will be finalized by the end of April and will be positioned before May 20.

▲ Hideyori discusses the new NCC members after the New Year, “The candidates will not be green.”

Qu Zhaoxiang, a professor at the Institute of Political Science at National Taiwan Normal University: “The first time the three parties were not more than half, so it is not a good thing to be too political. We should deal more with people’s livelihood issues and less with issues with greater political conflict.”

In addition to cabinet personnel, the first battleground after the congress opens is the NCC personnel consent power of the independent agency. Especially the opposition parties are sharpening their swords. The blue camp has also called for recommending candidates based on the proportion of congressional seats. Sources in the green camp revealed that Lai Qingde will work with President Tsai Ing-wen after the year. Communicate in English, the candidates will not be green, and we hope to alleviate the atmosphere of confrontation between the government and the opposition.

Reporter vs. Vice President Lai Qingde: “President, what do you think of the NCC candidates?”

The personnel layout plan is tight-lipped. Lai Qingde is the first cabinet. After the Spring Festival, the candidates will gradually show off.
