台灣總統府前的垃圾大清運

In Taiwan, riot police have forced about 200 protesters to leave the square in front of the office of President Chen Shui-bian. Earlier President Chen ordered security forces to clear the area outside the Presidential Palace and restore order in the capital Taipei. The decision came after several hundred thousand people had rallied in the city in opposition to last weekend’s election results. Demonstrations have gone on for a week since President Chen was announced the winner last Saturday by just 30 thousand votes out of more than 13 million cast. NPR’s Rob Giffer reports from Taipei.

Today’s rally was the largest in Taiwan’s history. Organizers estimated a half million people came, some on their own, some bussed in by the opposition KMT party. They stood for hours in the spring drizzle to make that point once again - President Chen Shui-bian manipulated the vote last Saturday. They also claimed he staged the attempt on his own life the day before the poll, so gained him sympathy votes that won him the election. Ignoring the fact that KMT ruled Taiwan as a one-party state for forty years, defeated opposition leader Lien Chan stood in front of a sign saying, “Democracy is dead”. He repeated wholly emoted words that had been driving a weeklong campaign. “We are pursuing truth, fairness, and justice”, he said, adding that Chen Shui-bian should not be afraid of the recount of the votes.

Chen’s party, the DPP, has been on the defensive because of the street protest. But now it’s fighting back. Hsiao Bihkim is a senior advisor to President Chen. “Their utilization of the words democracy and justice throughout this week’s extra-legal demonstrations is an insult to the spirit of these words. We have fought long and hard to create an institution of democracy in this country. And the spirit of democracy means that we should respect the court, respect the rule of law, and respect election outcomes.”
