A Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator yesterday said the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) should apologize for its former "black gold" politics practices after the father of President Chen Shui-bian's (陳水扁) son-in-law recently disclosed that he had been forced to conduct vote-buying activities in previous elections during the KMT's administration.
Chao Yu-chu (趙玉柱), the father of Chen's son-in-law, revealed on Thursday that, during his past tenure as the principal of an elementary school in Tainan County, he had been forced to take part in KMT vote-buying activities while the party had been in power.
DPP Legislator Charles Chiang (江昭儀) said yesterday that the KMT should face up to its previous vote-buying activities, as Chao's confession was hard evidence of the KMT's history of election bribery. He urged KMT Chairman Lien Chan (連戰) to apologize for the party's wrongdoings and to help eradicate this illegal practice for good.
