media reports that his wife, Tsai Ling-yi (蔡令怡), is involved in an ongoing “plot” to prevent the National Women’s League from signing an administrative contract with the government that would guarantee the league’s structural reform and the donation of assets to state coffers.
“It would not even be illegal to accept powers of attorney, but she [Tsai] has never done so,” Wu said on the sidelines of a luncheon with online media in Taipei yesterday.
Wu said Tsai has never intervened in league affairs, except during the eight years she spent heading the league’s Kaohsiung chapter when he served as the city’s mayor from 1990 to 1998.
Wu was responding to an article published on Thursday by the Chinese-language Liberty Times (the Taipei Times’ sister paper), which quoted an anonymous senior source as saying that Tsai and three other KMT members have been collecting powers of attorney from league members in the run-up to a members’ meeting scheduled for Wednesday.
