Protesters urge president to let the Taiwanese people decide Taiwan’s future (2014/04/17)

At an Academia Sinica seminar today, President Ma Ying-jeou continued to face protesters opposed to the services trade pact Taiwan signed with China. Both inside and outside the venue they held up signs stating that Taiwan’s future should be decided by the Taiwanese people. 

When President Ma’s motorcade arrived at today’s event, more than 100 black-shirted protesters began shouting toward him. Included were Academia Sinica researchers and members of the general public, many of whom held sunflowers. As this demonstration continued outside, Ma also faced protests inside during the seminar.

For the duration of Ma’s speech, a couple of audience members held up protest signs.

Chiu Hei-yuan
Academia Sinica Researcher
Continually, especially during his second term, the Ma administration has been ruining constitutional government. This is wrong and dangerous for Taiwan. We therefore support holding a citizens’ constitutional conference.

President Ma did not directly address the protesters. But he used a gesture to let them know he heard their voices.

開花嗆老馬

反服貿學運開始遍地開花，上午總統馬英九到中研院，出席釣魚台主權國際研討會時，場內外嗆聲不斷，中研院研究員瞿海源率領上百位民眾跟研究員，在場外高舉標語，要求召開公民憲政會議，而場內馬總統演說時，也有兩位研究員當場舉牌，表達無聲的抗議！

馬總統車隊一出現，上百位穿著黑衣，手拿太陽花的中研院研究員、反服貿的民眾，大聲喊出他們的訴求，場外抗議不斷，馬總統就算到了會場，發表演說時也有人當面抗議。

直到馬總統演講結束，他們才放下標語，用無聲的行動，表達抗議。

[[中研院研究員 瞿海源]]
“馬政府到現在為止，尤其是第二任以來，一直在破壞憲政，這是不對的，這是對台灣非常危險的，所以我們希望，我們不但支持，也主張要召開，全民的公民憲政會議”

馬總統雖然沒有出言反擊，不過還是用行動，告訴大家他聽到了。
