A Taiwanese tabloid report has accused DPP primary candidate Lai Ching-te of using a government office for his personal political campaign. The report, which was carried in Mirror Media, released photos of Lai and members of the DPP’s New Tide faction walking into a government office in Taipei. According to the report, Lai frequently made use of the office, which is paid for by Tainan taxpayers. Lai categorically denies that he uses the space for his campaign, but he says he won’t rent the space at all in the future.
Last Friday, a camera caught Lai walking into Tainan City government’s office in Taipei. He was joined by nine New Tide legislators led by the faction’s top brass, Wu Nai-ren. Media reported that the get-together was arranged by Lai’s ally Kuo Kuo-wen.
