Premier, ruling party lawmakers at odds over pension bonus reform (2012/12/04)

慰問金變數

軍公教年終慰問金爭議持續擴大,行政院長陳?提出的行政院版本,不但國防部長高華柱反對,甚至出現國民黨立委不支持,在野黨立委卻力挺的尷尬場面,更傳出行政院立場因此鬆動,不過陳?今天再度強調,年終慰問金的立場從未改變。

行政院長陳?,親自出席工業精銳獎頒獎典禮,不過話題始終圍繞在年終慰問金,因為他提出的版本,竟然出現自家立委反對,在野黨立委力挺的尷尬情形。

[[行政院副院長 江宜樺]]
“行政院的立場,從我們陳院長宣示之後,到目前為止都沒有,任何的改變”

不過國防部長高華柱,表態反對。

[[國防部長 高華柱(12.3)]]
“我要維護現役軍人的尊嚴,今天的軍人,他就是明天的退伍軍人啊”

還有面臨選票壓力的國民黨立委,早就提出各種折衷方案,要推翻行政院的版本。

[[立委(國) 吳育仁]]
“軍公教的聲音,在這個過程裏面,必須要被反應出來”

黨內反對黨外力挺,年終慰問金爭議,要堅持改革還是向選票妥協,成了府院高層,最棘手的難題。

In the legislature today Premier Sean Chen said he is fully committed to reforming the pension system for civil servants. This despite opposition from many ruling party lawmakers and some cabinet members, who fear losing the support of a bloc of voters that typically leans KMT. 

Today Premier Sean Chen appeared at the Industrial Sustainable Excellence Awards. But another issue was on people’s minds: year-end pension bonuses for retired civil servants. Unusually, the premier’s proposal is opposed by some members of the ruling legislative caucus and supported by members of the opposition. Many in the KMT want a new deal.

Jiang Yi-hua
Deputy Premier
Ever since Premier Chen made his announcement, his position has not changed.

Among the biggest detractors is the defense minister. 

Kao Hua-chu (Dec. 3)
Defense Minister
I need to maintain the respect of soldiers serving today. They are tomorrow’s retired soldiers.

KMT lawmakers have another concern: votes. They have offered numerous counter-proposals to the premier’s plan. 

Wu Yu-sheng
KMT Legislator
During this process, there needs to be a response to the voice of civil servants.

Cancelling costly year-end bonuses for civil servants could cost the KMT votes in future elections. How negotiations play out will show how committed the ruling party is to reform.
