Chapter 8 Chapter 06 His illegal construction - only state officials are allowed to set fires, and people are not allowed to light lamps

Li Qingyuan Since Chen Shui-bian became the mayor of Taipei in 1995, he has vigorously demolished other people's illegal buildings, from commercial areas to residential areas, from general illegal buildings to illegal construction of fire lanes, but Ah Bian's own two fire lanes are illegal Jian was still safe and sound until he ran for the "President" in 2004. He said it would not be demolished, and he even made up a bunch of reasons to deceive ordinary citizens! As we all know, Chen Shui-bian has an illegal building in the fire-proof alley behind his house on the first floor of No. 8, Lane 1, Lane 1, Section 4, Minsheng East Road, Taipei, which is used for the kitchen.

Since Chen Shui-bian became the mayor of Taipei, the illegal construction of about 5 pings occupied the statutory open space and was repeatedly criticized by the society. However, Chen Shui-bian said it would not be demolished. In May 1995, Chen Shui-bian's wife, Wu Shuzhen, said in response to outside doubts that the kitchen in her home was behind the children's room, which was quite noisy and the children often complained, so she had long wanted to change the kitchen back to Make a garden.However, because my mother moved to the north to live together, the existing house was not enough to live in. It happened that the house next door was going to be sold. They had already bought it and prepared to open up two rooms to increase the indoor area. The kitchen in the backyard was also planned to be used as a garden.

The question is, can small citizens refuse to demolish or delay the demolition of the construction and management units on the grounds that "the existing houses are not enough to live in"?What's more, after Chen Shui-bian acquired the house next door "First Floor, No. 6, Lane 1, Lane 97, Section 4, Minsheng East Road" in the name of his mother-in-law Wu Wangxia on March 25, 1995, he opened up with the house at No. 8. The two rooms add up to 87.4 ping, which is enough for use. However, until July 10, 1998, when the author held the "Chen Shui-bian New Privileged Press Conference" as a representative of the "National University", his residence The illegal buildings have not been converted back to be used as gardens, which shows that since Chen Shui-bian took office in Beishi, he has only vowed to demolish the illegal buildings of ordinary citizens, while he has insisted on refusing to demolish the illegal buildings in the Fire Lane, which affects the police.

Found another illegal construction of Bian In particular, what is more serious is that Chen Shui-bian's other house is located at No. 11, Lane 11, Lane 15, Section 1, Hangzhou South Road, Taipei City. There is also an illegal fire lane, which is also used as a kitchen.After verification, the illegal building was not reported at that time, and it was not included in the demolition list of the illegal building in Fire Lane, a residential area in Taipei City.Therefore, after all the illegal constructions in the fire lanes of the small citizens in Taipei City were "rectified on the spot", Chen Shui-bian's illegal construction was safe and sound.

Since February 2, 1997, when a fire broke out in Taipei City's Qingguang Market, Chen Shui-bian emphasized that in order to protect the lives of residents, the city's illegal fire lanes must be demolished. As early as February 20, 1995, the municipal government began to carry out the demolition of illegal construction of fire protection partitions (alleys), and the fire protection alleys in the commercial area were completed before December 31, 1997. , a total of 5,611 pieces were demolished; as for the part of the fire lane in the residential area, from March 1, 1997 to June 30, 1998, a total of more than 2,000 pieces were demolished.It is generally estimated that the number of illegal constructions in fire lanes in residential areas will be four to five times higher than in commercial areas.Take 1995, the first year Chen Shui-bian took office as mayor, for example, as many as 5,075 illegal fire lanes were demolished, an average of 14 per day, which shows Chen Shui-bian's courage, but unfortunately, His boldness is only used on the property of small citizens, while his own two illegal fire lanes are "swearing to the death" that they will not be demolished.

Chen Shui-bian’s two fire lanes were built illegally. The house on Minsheng East Road is located in Songshan District. The fire lanes of the small citizens in this area were built illegally. When Chen Shui-bian did not allow any special tariffs, 231 items were demolished: The illegal construction on Hangzhou South Road is located in Zhongzheng District, and 383 pieces of illegal construction by small citizens in this district have also been demolished. A Bian's illegal building should be demolished within a time limit Chen Shui-bian wants to completely dismantle the illegal construction of fire lanes. For the safety of the citizens, we are happy to see the results, but Ah Bian must first set an example.It cannot be said that Chen Shui-bian hastily demolished other people's illegal fire lanes, while his own fire lanes can be "slowly demolished" or "demolished in stages" until Chen Shui-bian is willing to do so. Like the illegal construction on Hangzhou South Road, they hide in the hidden places in the middle of the surrounding houses, without anyone noticing, thinking that this way they can hide the truth.

Four months before the mayoral election at the end of 1998, many people demanded that Chen Shui-bian should demolish his two illegal fire lanes within a time limit before continuing to demolish others' illegal buildings, otherwise he would be dissatisfied with Ah Bian. People who are only allowed to set fires by state officials, including ordinary citizens whose illegal buildings in Fire Lane have been demolished, should go to Chen Shui-bian's illegal buildings and ask A-Bian not to know the law until A-Bian is demolished.However, Ah Bian still refused to dismantle it for a long time, completely ignoring it, which shows his domineering personality.In this mayoral election, Ah Bian was also criticized by the public as a "duck bullying Bian" and lost the election. The title of "Duck Babian" was used by the Kuomintang as a powerful propaganda to attack Ah Bian until the 2004 "presidential" election.

However, in the battle for mayor, after Chen Shui-bian lost the election, Ma Ying-jeou, who took over as mayor, was urged repeatedly by Taipei City Councilors until February 2004, "not daring" to implement the A-Bian Fire Lane according to the law. Illegal demolition actions.Ma Ying-jeou Since he didn't implement the act of dealing with the state officials' arson, they simply let the people light lamps at will.Therefore, in 1999, Taipei City put a whole year's "Fire Alley Illegal Construction Holiday" for a whole year.In the whole year of 1999, Ma Ying-jeou only demolished thirteen illegal fire lanes, but left tens of thousands of illegal fire lanes, including A Bian's fire lane, regardless of the residential and public safety of Taipei City. , while Chen Shui-bian demolished 14 pieces in one day during his first year as mayor.

In particular, Ma Ying-jeou, who kept saying that he must "administer according to law", responded to the written question of Taipei City Councilor Li Qingyuan on September 30, 1999. In his official letter to the Taipei City Council in the name of the mayor of the city, It clearly stated in black and white: Former Mayor Chen’s Fire Lane located on Hangzhou South Road was illegally built. The illegal building area was about 17.5 square meters (about 5.3 ping). before performing the removal. However, on October 12, 1999, the city government changed its name in an official letter in response to related written inquiries: it did not investigate and report the case of the illegal construction of the Fire Lane on Hangzhou South Road, former mayor Chen. Tube.

In November 1999, during the general inquiry of the Taipei City Council, when Ma Ying-jeou orally answered the question of the councilors, he even said that city officials had issued official documents indiscriminately, and that there was no plan to demolish former mayor Chen at the end of 1999. Regarding the illegal construction, the 12 administrative districts of Taipei City will draw lots to determine the sequence of demolition of the illegal construction in the Fire Lane.At the same time, Mayor Ma also said that relevant officials would be punished for randomly issuing official documents.

This is really absurd. A Taipei city councilor reported the illegal construction of the Fire Lane for a whole year, and the city government suddenly said that it would be demolished by the end of the year, and suddenly it has never been investigated and listed.When Chen Shui-bian himself was the mayor, he swore to the death not to demolish his own illegal buildings. When Ma Ying-jeou of the Kuomintang came to be the mayor, he could sit back and watch the buildings not be demolished in accordance with the law.It seems that it is becoming more and more difficult for the small citizens to resist the city government's construction management personnel to demolish the illegal buildings.
