The Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) will oppose any government attempt to seize its assets, the party said yesterday in response to a report in a Chinese-language newspaper. The newspaper reported yesterday that the ministry was considering taking temporary measures or provisionally seizing KMT assets to prevent the party from selling off chunks of party businesses before investigations into their origins are completed. The report sparked angry responses from the KMT and denials from the ministry yesterday, with the KMT accusing the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of overplaying the assets controversy to win the year-end legislative elections. Responding to the report, Chang Che-chen, director general of the KMT’s administration and management committee, said yesterday that the news was just another example of the DPP’s drive to win the legislative elections at any cost. “The DPP has always played the party-assets card during elections. This year, however, their tactics have been the most ruthless yet,” Chang said yesterday at a press conference. More : taipeitimes.com |
