DPP’s Lai defends legality of family property
DPP Chairman Lai Ching-te addressed the disputes surrounding his illegally constructed family property in Wanli, emphasizing that houses like his can apply for retroactive legalization through proper procedures. Lai argued that the house in question was built in 1958, before the implementing of the Mining Act in 1963 and the Regional Plan Act in 1981, making it legally established. He criticized the government’s mishandling of responsibilities following the cessation of mining rights, which made it difficult for residents in mining areas to repair their homes. Lai believes that the property can undergo procedural rectification to attain legal status. He compared his property to other high-profile constructions to clarify its scale and value. Lai expressed his commitment to transparency and rallied unity within the DPP, expressing confidence in their victory in the upcoming elections.2023/12/20 17:14
