On July 1, 2024, the grassroots group 'Mountain Sea Civilians Demolition Beam Action' launched a recall movement against Keelung Mayor Xie Guoliang, surpassing the second-tier endorsement threshold with an estimated 40,000 signatures likely to be submitted to the election commission, aiming for a successful vote. The Kuomintang criticized that during Lin Rong-chang's tenure, the rights of Keelung citizens were not protected, and Xie Guoliang managed to reclaim Keelung municipal assets, but was then targeted for recall by DPP Secretary-General Lin Rong-chang, clearly attempting to shift focus from his own 'incomplete governance'. Facing the threat of recall, the KMT vows to use facts and reason to persuade the people. This article also delves into the controversial timeline of the Keelung East Coast Mall project and the repercussions of the political discord in the region.
