DPP member changes side

男子自摑臉悔挺扁

Tsai Feng-wen, a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) member, slapped his face (see photo) 3 times during a press conference presented by Wong Chung-chun, a Kuomintang (KMT) candidate vying for the post of Chiayi County magistrate, United Daily News reported Monday. Tsai said the self-punishment was made for supporting Chen Shui-bian 8 years ago, who turned out to be involved with briberies. In his capacity as a DPP member, Tsai openly supported Wong in the magistrate election.

據《聯合報》11月30日報道，在日前國民黨嘉義縣長候選人翁重鈞的記者會上，民進黨黨員蔡豐文自扇3個耳光(見圖)，稱8年前力挺陳水扁卻不想選出了一個貪官，因此自摑以示懲罰。他同時以民進黨員的身份，公開表示支持翁重鈞。
