At 4:00 p.m., people began to gather at the former residence of Yu Teng-fa (余登發), a famous politician considered to be a pioneer of the nation's democracy. With high spirits, the participants set out towards the Mazu temple at Fengqiao, shouting slogans such as, "We resolutely oppose Han. We must vote him out of office," CNA reported.
Following last weekend's event in Qishan District, the parade was held to maintain fervor and increase publicity for the June 6 recall vote.
Along the way, many people scrambled to obtain yellow anti-Han ribbons with some even spontaneously joining the parade. Democratic Progressive Party legislators Chiu Chih-Wei (邱志偉) and Liu Shih-fang (劉世芳) were also present to show their dedication to stopping Mayor Han. [FULL STORY]
