Who is Scolding Chen Shih-chung for the Executive Yuan's 'Relief Chaos'? Author: The One We've Always Been Scolding is Su Tseng-chang
The article criticizes the 'relief chaos' in early 2020 caused by the Executive Yuan's distribution of subsidies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The author points out that Premier Su Tseng-chang's unwillingness to adopt the consumption voucher model because of 'saving face' led to a chaotic subsidy plan, triggering public resentment. When Su Tseng-chang stepped forward to defend Health Minister Chen Shih-chung from being scolded, the author questions whether Su Tseng-chang was 'switching concepts' to divert hatred toward Chen Shih-chung, as the main target of public scolding was Su Tseng-chang, the decision-maker. The article specifically mentions that Su Tseng-chang's daughter, Legislator Su Chiao-hui, was also one of the voices intensely criticizing the Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW), and satirizes Su Tseng-chang for 'signing a settlement agreement before discussing compensation' during his apology, which contrasts sharply with New Taipei City Mayor Hou You-yi's attitude of taking immediate responsibility.
