Outside accusations are under pressure? Chen Qimai choked on self-blame last night and reiterated that he would not evade responsibility

The city-wide fire in Kaohsiung's Yancheng District killed 46 people and injured 41 others, making it the worst fire in Kaohsiung's history, and there are voices from the outside world that Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Qimai should step down for this matter. Yesterday, Chen Qimai visited his family at the funeral home for the second time, and after a day of running, he looked tired and choked up and said, "This is a very painful thing for himself", and as the head of the family, he felt deeply remorseful.

After Chen Qimai visited his family at the funeral home on the morning of the 15th, in the afternoon, ma Ying-jeou, the former leader of the Taiwan region, greeted the victims' united spiritual hall, and encountered the family members "stopping the car to express their feelings." Coincidentally, Chen Qimai returned to the funeral home for the second time in the evening without notifying the media of the public itinerary, and stayed at the scene for nearly half an hour.

Chen Qimai was interviewed by the media before leaving, and in the face of the fact that some family members had not yet found the remains of their relatives, he said that he would provide full assistance from his family in the aftermath, and also give rental subsidies or social housing assistance for the resettlement of surviving residents.

As for why he returned to the funeral home at night to visit the families of the victims for the second time, Chen Qimai said, "This matter is a very painful thing for me", as soon as the words were finished, he suddenly paused and choked for about 7 seconds, and then said, "As a senior parent, he feels deep self-blame, and will not avoid his responsibility. ”

According to Taiwan media reports, for the 46 deaths caused by the fire in Kaohsiung's urban city, former "legislator" Guo Zhengliang mentioned yesterday that foreign media were very surprised that the Taiwan region was so progressive, how could a fire take 46 lives? Don't think that the green media can not report this, that is impossible!

Guo Zhengliang recalled on the 15th in Zhongtian Television's "Normal Play" that in 1995, the fire in the Weierkang Western Restaurant in Taichung City, which caused a total of 64 deaths and 11 injuries, when the mayor of Taichung was Lin Bairong, who was impeached and suspended by the "Control Yuan" for half a year, and the Kuomintang polls plummeted. Under the pressure of public opinion, the ruling authorities quickly amended the "Fire Protection Law", "Building Technical Rules", "Apartment Building Management Regulations", and also established a "Fire Department", and the Taichung City Government added two deputy mayors, one of whom was responsible for police consumption.

Guo Zhengliang stressed that the green media should not think that it is over without reporting this matter, to what extent is this matter outrageous? A resident of the city city said that from the 7th floor to the 11th floor, each floor has 40 house numbers, so there are 200 households in theory, and the Kaohsiung municipal government only controls 120 households, which are usually a lot of urine smell and cockroaches. There are many violations of "laws", such as only 3 fire extinguishers on one floor, and no "live police devices" installed. (Editing by Xue Yang)
