Former VP Lien Chan’s daughter signs petition calling for premier to resign (2014/03/26)
Among those calling for Premier Jiang Yi-huah to resign is the youngest daughter of former Vice President Lien Chan. Ariel Lien signed a petition circulated among National Taiwan University students calling for Jiang to step down over his orders to forcefully remove students from the Executive Yuan. On Facebook, the younger Lien also posted a quote from Jiang in which he called demonstrations a necessary part of democracy.
Jiang Yi-huah
Then-NTU Professor
As you take on various challenges and gradually realize the potential you have as a political science student, you will prove to society that politics can also be a noble profession.
These words from then-NTU professor Jiang Yi-huah still resonate. But on Sunday it was Jiang serving as premier who ordered riot police to forcibly remove students who were occupying the Executive Yuan.
Students in the political science department at NTU put together a petition calling on Jiang to apologize and resign. Among those who signed is Ariel Lien, daughter of KMT Honorary Chairman Lien Chan.
On Facebook, Ariel Lien quoted a statement from Jiang: “If you want to say that Taiwan already holds general and parliamentary elections, so the people shouldn’t take to the streets in protest, then you are underestimating the force needed to uphold democracy.” Using Jiang’s words, Lien argued that the premier was wrong to forcefully expel the students.
連詠心連署
國民黨榮譽主席連戰的小女兒連詠心，參與台大政治系學生因為曾任教授的行政院長江宜樺下令警方強制驅離佔領行政院學生，發起的江宜樺負起政治責任、辭職下台聯署，甚至在臉書上發文，批判江宜樺。連戰辦公室強調，連戰事前並不知情。
[[江宜樺(時任台大教授)]]
“當各位逐漸地在各領域，去實踐你做為一個政治系學生，的潛能的時候，那將就是你向這個社會證明，政治也可以是一個高貴的行業的時候”
老師的話，言猶在耳，沒想到卻在這次的學生佔領行政院行動中，以行政院長的身分下令鎮暴警察強制驅離。
台大政治系學生因此在網路發起連署，要求下令鎮壓的行政院長江宜樺為暴力行為道歉請辭。參與聯署的名單中還赫然出現國民黨榮譽主席連戰的小女兒，連詠心。
不只連署，呼籲江宜樺下台，連詠心還在臉書上，引用江宜樺曾說過，”如果只因為台灣已經普選且定期國會選舉，就要求人民不該再有上街頭抗議的念頭，那顯然是低估了，維繫民主社會所需要的動能”的一番話，徹底表達對暴力驅離的不認同。
