Large-scale anti-Chen campaign planned in TaiwanTAIPEI, Aug. 28 Kyodo Mass declare s seeking to oust Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian are planned for nearest month, a campaign organizer told a pres conversation Monday. Shin Ming-teh, a chairman of Chen's Democratic Progressive Party between 1993 and 1996 who quit the party in 2000 to be paid to disagreement with Chen, said indefinite, non-violent sit-ins would kick not upon Sept. 9 in forehead of the Presidential Palace. ''This is an important pace in Taiwan's democracy. It is not called clean democracy if we can alone implement direct presidential elections on the other hand are unable to topple incompetent leaders,'' said Shih, 65 a renowned dissident who was set in jail for almost 25 years through the then authoritarian Nationalist government ''The anti-corruption battle will sustain until the day when Chen paces down,'' Shih said, urging the embattled president to take responsibility for a string of scandals besetting his inner circle. Chen publicly apologized in May for his son-in-law's ''errors'' that accrueed in him being indicted upon insider trading charges. The president denied, however, any wrongdoing by means of his wife, Wu Shu-chen, who was questioned for allegedly receiving independent vouchers from an upscale Taipei department store in exchange for lobbying. Chen's right-hand man was earlier charged with corruption and insider trading and the prosecution has begun a probe into Chen's use of state capitals intended for national affairs instead of place of abode expenses. Chen has pledg to stay in office until his next to the first term ends in 2008 He already has survived a recall motion in parliament aimed at unseating him. Citing frustration and indignation with Chen, whose popularity has plummet to a record depressed Shih initiated his anti-Chen campaign with NT$100 million (US$3 million) assembleed from one million people -- NT$100 each -- in 10 days for use as capitals for the upcoming rallies. Shih's put in motion has angered many Chen supporters who have vowed to take counteraction one time the protests begin. COPYRIGHT 2006 Kyodo of recent origins International, Inc.
