Wang Qingmin’s view: A historic victory for the radical left, the decline of traditional establishment parties—the intensification of political polarization and how to respond
In Berlin’s local election, the far-left Left Party became the largest party with 25.7% of the vote. The far-right Alternative for Germany also made major gains, while support for traditional establishment parties declined, showing that political polarization in Germany is intensifying.
Drinking in a parked car: Is it still drunk driving if the engine is left running? Man fined after drinking 2 cans of beer, but court ultimately overturns ticket
A man surnamed Chen in Keelung drank in his car after parking. Police cited him for drunk driving because the engine was still running, but after reviewing dashcam footage, the court determined that the car was parked and had not moved while he drank, and overturned the ticket.
Lee Chi-tse’s view: The far right has not taken over Europe; the first thing taken over was the centrists’ agenda
Europe’s far right has made historic gains in eastern German state elections and French polling, among other places, but has not taken over governments across the continent. To keep the far right from gaining power, centrists have been forced to adopt its agenda, shifting policy to the right. Taiwan should avoid interpreting Europe through a single label and should track each party’s actual positions on the Taiwan Strait and defense.
Shih Wei-chuan column: When dialogue stops, dogma grows on its own—the pan-blue camp should have the resolve to challenge the “12-Point Plan to Govern Taiwan” Shih Wei-chuan
Taiwanese scholar 施威全 critically analyzed the “Twelve-Point Consensus on a One Country, Two Systems Plan for Taiwan” announced by scholars from mainland China. He said the consensus seeks to apply Hong Kong’s governing approach directly to Taiwan and is a dogmatic product of the lack of cross-strait dialogue. He urged the Kuomintang to actively counter it from the standpoint of the Republic of China.
