As students seek to expand protest, New Taipei mayor suggests they find a way to end occupation (2014/03/28)

The students hope the Sunday protest will raise the stakes of their movement and bring President Ma Ying-jeou’s government to its knees. A municipal leader in Ma’s KMT party, New Taipei City Mayor Eric Chu, urged the students to instead take a step back and allow normal democratic mechanisms to resume. 

Students are now in their 11th day of occupying the Legislative Yuan. To improve their chances of winning this battle, they are attempting to broaden the protest.

Expanding the protest from inside the Legislature to Ketagalan Boulevard is a strategic move designed to maintain interest in the protest. Student leaders hope a mass show of force will put more pressure on President Ma Ying-jeou. Today, an expert on social movements and New Taipei City Mayor Eric Chu weighed in with two very different views.

I feel the protest could go from "opposing Ma" to "overthrowing Ma.” “Overthrowing Ma” is more than just bravado. It would take a lot of determination and strength to topple him. Students want Ma to loosen his control over party discipline because they don’t want him to control the Legislature. If he loses control over party discipline, will he be able to maintain control over the party? 

Eric Chu
New Taipei City Mayor 
(Students) have asked every legislator to sign these promise declarations, which I think is unreasonable and impossible. We respect different voices achieving many consensuses so we can promote many things.

Chu recommends that students consider making a successful exit from the Legislature.

抗爭再拉高

太陽花學運進入第十一天,學生團體不斷把戰線拉大,不僅維持運動熱度,也給馬總統更大的壓力,長期關注社運的學者鄭村棋說,馬總統不可能退讓,這場運動必須從"反馬"拉高成"倒馬",但新北市市長朱立倫則要學生們,選擇"光榮退場"的時機。

學生攻佔立法院邁入第十一天, 為了打贏這場仗,學生將提高抗爭。

從立院擴大成凱道,不僅把戰線拉長,更把戰略層級提升。一連串的行動,除了維持運動熱度,主要希望能用群眾力量,讓馬總統感受壓力。今天有社運學者及新北市長朱立倫,都提出看法。

[[社運學者 鄭村棋]]
“我覺得要從"反馬"上升到"倒馬" , "倒馬"還不只是虛張聲勢 , 一定要用最大的決心和力量 ,去把馬英九拉下來,學生要他(馬總統)現在鬆綁黨紀,馬的手不要插進立法院 ,他如果失去黨紀,他還能控得住他的黨嗎?”

[[新北市長 朱立倫]]
“(學生)要求每一個立法委員都承諾,如同學生的要求,我想這是不可能,也不應該的,我們尊重不同的聲音, 取得最多的共識,讓很多事情可以推動”

朱立倫還說,學生應要思考,選擇"光榮退場"的時機。
