MAC’s Lai accepts ‘1992 consensus’

Fully aware a pro-unification crowd outside protesting against her, Lai denied again and again she remains an independence activist.

While she served as TSU lawmaker, Lai admitted, she professed her support for Taiwan independence.

“But by my effort,” Lai declared, “I turned around the TSU and it’s now above the issue of independence and unification.”

She didn’t say the TSU has given up independence as its raison d’etre, however.

“It’s my efforts, which were crowned with success, that has made the TSU leave the controversy over independence versus unification behind,” Lai pointed out.

The TSU party line now is “left of the middle,” Lai said. But she emphasized that the party is “left,” advocating environmental protection, cleanliness and peace.

There shouldn’t be any such claim, however. President Lee, the spiritual leader of the TSU, alone can make the party he founded turn around.

Lai talked about her hopes to help the poor and the disadvantaged and lower unemployment for most part of her news meeting.
