title: Europe’s housing crisis is fueling the rise of the far right

The left must reclaim the housing issue if it wants to stop losing ground in Europe

Housing costs across Europe have become a growing burden for many households, both for those trying to buy and those trying to rent. Over the past decade, property prices have surged faster than incomes in many European countries. The same is true for rents, which have increased exponentially in large cities but have increased substantially even in suburban areas and smaller university towns.

Given how much housing costs affect Europeans’ quality of life, it is comparatively absent from the agenda of progressive political parties. When politicians do emphasize housing, the focus is usually solely on building more houses. Former German chancellor Olaf Scholz, for example, promised to build 400,000 new homes in Germany every year — a goal his government failed to reach by some distance.

At the same time, far-right parties such as the Freedom Party (PVV) in the Netherlands or Chega in Portugal have made the housing affordability crisis into a campaign issue. Their equation is simple: housing should be available and affordable only for nationals.

What are the hurdles that keep other parties from politicizing housing? And what would a progressive European housing agenda look like?

As part of the Progressive Politics Research Network — an initiative to promote social science research findings to a broader audience — we have published eight research briefs to that end.

European societies fundamentally differ in how housing is organized. Home ownership remains the dominant form of housing in most European countries, but ownership rates vary significantly. In some countries — including Germany, Austria and Switzerland — more than half of the population lives in rented accommodation. And as home ownership becomes increasingly unaffordable, renting has become the modal form for younger people, especially in Europe’s larger cities.

To compare housing politics across countries, it is helpful to think of two policy paradigms: housing as an asset vs. housing as a social right. In the housing as an asset approach, housing is seen as an investment to generate financial returns — a system that depends on rising prices. Over the past decades, this has become the dominant paradigm. Even parties of the left have significantly reduced social housing, deregulated rental markets and created new investment and market structures that affect house prices.

RIGHT VS ASSET

These reforms have eroded housing as a social right. The inequalities of who can live where, and under what conditions, have created massive grievances among a large share of the population. These grievances contribute to the increasing electoral success of the radical right.

If progressive parties want to reclaim this issue, they have to accept that housing is fundamentally a question of distribution and redistribution. They should not treat housing as an issue where parties simply compete over who is more competent, or who can deliver more units. Housing policy involves profound choices about who benefits and who bears costs, about the balance between markets and collective responsibility, about whether housing is primarily an asset or a social right. From a progressive perspective, the goal should be clear: housing needs to be affordable, secure and nonspeculative.

To achieve this, progressive parties first need to reinvest in social housing as part of a broader strategy to increase supply. Yet simply recreating the social housing of the 1970s will not work. Social housing cannot be revitalized today if it is only targeted at the poorest: tight eligibility rules can undermine cross-class political support and lead to stigmatization and exclusion. As an example, in Vienna, about 40 percent of households live in limited-profit or public housing: this broad access, together with strong rental protections, helps build the broad political coalitions required to support sustained investment.

Second, progressive housing policy must address both supply and distribution. The fixation on “build, build, build” misses a crucial fact: under-occupation of housing stock rivals overcrowding in many European countries. In Germany, demographic factors — especially age — correlate with housing inequality more than income does. Younger households and immigrants face severe overcrowding, while older households are increasingly under-occupied. Policy must incentivize the redistribution of existing space alongside new construction.

Third, increasing housing density is unavoidable but must be done correctly. Large-scale surveys from cities in Europe and the US show that public acceptance of densification depends critically on design and implementation. When projects include participatory governance, protect neighborhood amenities and green space, and ensure affordability, resistance drops significantly. Densification without social inclusion and environmental sustainability would fail politically.

NOTHING FOR FREE

This agenda requires substantial public investment. Wealth-to-income ratios are driven largely by housing booms, providing funding resources. While inheritance taxes remain unpopular, net wealth taxes and reformed capital gains taxes command public support — especially when revenues are credibly tied to popular investments such as affordable housing. Austria demonstrates how dedicated housing funds, fed by modest levies and reinvested profits from limited-profit providers, can sustain large-scale provision.

Progressive parties must leverage private investment strategically. Land-use planning, construction regulation and public loans can be tied to conditions: obligations to reinvest profits, provide housing at cost-based rents, respect limited-profit constraints or meet social and ecological criteria. Housing policy is not simply about market vs. state, but about steering both toward social ends.

The European far right has seized on housing precisely because progressives have abandoned it. Their answer — blaming immigrants for scarcity — is both morally and economically wrong. However, it is going to continue to gain traction if the center left offers only market solutions and technocratic supply-side fixes.

Housing is fundamentally a question of distribution and social rights, not merely construction targets. It shapes who can live where, access what opportunities and build what kind of life. A progressive housing agenda must be bold enough to challenge the norm that housing has become an asset for wealth accumulation, and ambitious enough to build the broad coalitions of support required for sustained public investment. Our research shows such policies can work and command public support. The question is whether progressive parties have the will to fight for them and offer a real alternative to the far right’s politics of scarcity and blame.

Witkoff is an amateur. Ukraine needs him to be a professionalDirect collaboration between the US and Russia through Trump’s envoy seems unlikely to achieve anything good for Ukraine

If at times this year it seemed that Steve Witkoff, US President Donald Trump’s Mr. Fix-it for pretty much everything, was much too close to the Kremlin, we now know why: It is because he was.

Any skilled mediator should aim to make sure both parties feel he or she has their backs. Instead, what is clear from the transcripts of leaked phone recordings Bloomberg published on Tuesday last week is that Witkoff has not been acting, in any sense, as a mediator between Russia and Ukraine. He has instead been negotiating with his Russian counterparts to achieve what both sides want, at the expense of Ukraine and Europe.

Witkoff, incredibly, coached the Kremlin on how to undermine a trip to the White House by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in October. This visit was critical because it seemed at the time that Donald Trump might at last be ready to apply pressure on Russia to make the concessions needed for peace.

The trick, Witkoff told Putin’s foreign-policy adviser Yuri Ushakov, was to have his boss call to Trump before Zelenskiy’s visit, flatter him about the fantastic job he had done in getting a ceasefire for Gaza, say their envoys were discussing a similar 20-point deal for Ukraine and that Russia was open to the idea. Sure enough, Putin placed the call, and Trump took the bait. Momentum toward a change of policy fizzled.

If there were any indication that Witkoff was carrying out a pre-agreed administration strategy, or that he was looping in and working closely with the Ukrainians — rather than helping the Kremlin to shape US policy — there would be nothing but respect for his Machiavellian efforts. Instead, it seems clear that these phone calls meant exactly what they seemed to: That a credulous amateur diplomat was working with the Kremlin to manipulate the White House at Ukraine’s expense.

Witkoff’s approach has created a dangerous kind of circus around diplomacy to end the war. It also explains the confusion in Washington since his 28-point plan was leaked to Axios, as to who exactly wrote it. Was it the US? Or was it Russia? US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has at different times said both.

A leaked call between Ushakov and another member of the Russian negotiating team, sovereign wealth fund head Kirill Dmitriev, confirms how the Kremlin saw Witkoff’s overture. It was to them an opportunity, delivered out of the blue, to restate Russia’s maximum goals and put those into an informal paper the Americans would hopefully adopt as their own.

The full draft texts are not available to compare, but it seems clear from the Kremlin’s reactions that Ushakov and Dmitriev got what they wanted.

And yet, to abuse the old saw about crises, this fiasco should not be allowed to go to waste. With so much transparency around the plan’s origins, there is an opportunity for the US administration to engage in some actual mediation. Because unlike Putin, Ukraine really does want and need Russia’s invasion to end. Its people and leaders would be willing to swallow a lot that they should not have to, in order to make that happen.

The question is how to change the plan into a genuine deal, capable of delivering the peace it proposes, rather than just aiding Russia in its war aims. That probably does not include some of the topics that are getting reported: NATO membership and the 600,000 troop number cap for Ukraine’s armed forces.

As should be obvious, any proposal that includes a potential for Ukraine to join NATO is a dead letter, because Russia would not accept it. Nor would the alliance’s collective-defense clause offer much protection, anyhow; the question of whether Americans and Europeans would go to war with Russia to defend Ukraine has already been tested to destruction. They will not.

Secondly, the plan’s 600,000 cap for the size of Ukraine’s armed forces should not be allowed to block the road to peace, so long as it is clear that figure includes only active duty personnel and not reserves to be mobilized in the event of a renewed Russian assault. Ukraine could not afford a peace time standing army that size in any case. What is important is to be ready to mobilize.

The critical issue of territory is a deal breaker for Russia: It is hard to envisage Putin stopping the war so long as he is still advancing on the battlefield, and so long as he does not get all of the Donetsk and Luhansk provinces. Yet any Ukrainian withdrawal from its fortress defenses in the Donbas can only occur in the context of detailed provisions to secure this demilitarized zone and the entire front line against another Russian attack. That requires pushing heavy weapons back and the introduction of a significant international force along the line of contact, among other measures conspicuously absent from Witkoff’s plan.

There can be no requirement of Ukrainian or international “recognition” for Russian occupied territories, nor any imposition of early elections. There must be negotiated protections for those Ukrainians living under occupation, as well as for those whose children have been abducted. And Russia cannot receive back the more than $300 billion in frozen central bank funds that Ukraine’s allies have been holding since the start of the war until there has been a ruling on reparations, let alone split the profits with the US.

The real revelation from Witkoff’s dealings with the Kremlin is that he neither knows nor cares what it would take for any deal he negotiates to ensure that the war ends for good and Ukraine emerges — as the first clause of the plan he cooked up with his Kremlin friends says — a sovereign nation. If Trump can assign others who do understand to carry the talks forward, they might yet produce the peace deal that the US president says he wants.

BACK ON THE COURT: The Hawks downed the 76ers in double-overtime to spoil Sixers big man Joel Embiid’s return from a nine-game injury absence

NBA champions the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday avenged their only defeat of the season, using a fourth-quarter surge to beat the Portland Trail Blazers 123-115 and improve to 20-1.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander scored 26 points to lead six Thunder players in double figures.

With their 12th straight win Oklahoma City are off to the best start since the 2015-2016 Golden State Warriors opened the season 21-0.

Reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Gilgeous-Alexander’s 93rd straight game with at least 20 points is the second-longest such streak behind Wilt Chamberlain’s 126 set from October 1961 to January 1963.

He surpassed a 92-game streak set by Chamberlain from February 1963 to March 1964.

Center Chet Holmgren added 19 points, nine rebounds, three blocked shots and a steal for the Thunder, who opened the final period on an 8-0 scoring run to gain the upper hand in a tense clash that featured 15 lead changes.

The Thunder suffered their only defeat of the season against the Blazers on Nov. 5, when they squandered a 22-point lead and fell 121-119 in Portland, Oregon.

The Blazers again put them to the test taking an 87-85 lead into the final period.

Deni Avdija led the Trail Blazers with a triple-double of 31 points, 19 rebounds and 10 assists, but the Thunder would not be denied.

Aaron Wiggins came up with a steal and a basket to launch the fourth-quarter opening burst. Holmgren produced a massive block then made a layup.

Jalen Williams threw down a dunk, Ajay Mitchell came up with another steal and a layup, and suddenly the Thunder had a six-point lead less than two minutes into the final frame.

“[We] got a lot of turnovers in that stretch, which goes down to playing hard, being in the right spots, really cracking down on the game plan,” Williams said. “I think that kind of opened up the game. It gave us a lot more flow. Anytime you can get open layups in transition and offense, it just gives you more flow to the game, gives you more incentive to play defense, and we did that.”

The Atlanta Hawks beat the Philadelphia 76ers 142-134 in double-overtime to spoil Sixers big man Joel Embiid’s return from a nine-game injury absence.

It was tied 132-132 with 2 minutes, 44 seconds left in second overtime when Atlanta’s Jalen Johnson drilled back-to-back three-pointers and the Hawks held on for a fourth victory in five games.

Johnson led the Hawks with 41 points and 14 rebounds, while Nickeil Alexander-Walker added 34 points.

Tyrese Maxey scored 44 for Philadelphia, including a basket to force overtime, and Embiid added 18 points in his first game since Nov. 8.

Boston’s Payton Pritchard scored 42 points and Jaylen Brown delivered his fourth career triple-double with 19 points, 12 rebounds and 11 assists as the Celtics edged the Cavaliers 117-115 in Cleveland, Ohio.

Pritchard scored six points in the final 90 seconds to help Boston hold off a late charge by Cleveland, who were led by 27 points from Evan Mobley, with 21 from Darius Garland and 18 from Donovan Mitchell.

In Los Angeles, Luka Doncic scored 34 points, pulled down 12 rebounds and handed out seven assists as the Lakers beat the New Orleans Pelicans 133-121 despite the absence of LeBron James, who was sidelined with a foot injury.

Austin Reaves added 33 points for the Lakers, who scored 46 in the first quarter and never trailed.

The New York Knicks were also buoyed by a big opening quarter, putting up 41 in the first in a 116-94 win over the Toronto Raptors.

The Knicks saw a 24-point lead sliced to three midway through the third period before they steadied the ship to claim a fourth straight victory.

Karl-Anthony Towns led the way with 22 points, while Josh Hart added 20 points and 12 rebounds.

Elsewhere, the Rockets routed the Jazz 129-101, the Timberwolves tamed the Spurs 125-112 and the Grizzlies mauled the Kings 115-107.

title: Young dazzles as Panthers upset the in-form Rams

content_text:
Bryce Young on Sunday threw three touchdowns as the Carolina Panthers upset the in-form Los Angeles Rams 31-28 with the NFL playoff race tightening.

Panthers quarterback Young — coming off a poor performance in a dismal defeat to the San Francisco 49ers — tossed two daring second-half touchdowns on fourth down to give Carolina a precious win in what promises to be a hectic final sprint for post-season places.

The Rams, who boasted the best record in the National Football Conference heading into Sunday’s duel in Charlotte, were left ruing mistakes at key moments.

Quarterback Matthew Stafford gave up a first-quarter interception that Panthers defender Mike Jackson returned for a touchdown before a costly fourth-quarter fumble effectively sealed the Rams’ defeat.

It left the Rams at 9-3 at the top of the National Football Conference West, while the Panthers improved to 7-6 to stay hard on the heels of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the National Football Conference South.

The Bucs remain top of the division after a 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals.

The Rams looked poised to extend their six-game winning streak early in the fourth quarter when Stafford led a superb 89-yard touchdown drive to help give the visitors a 28-24 lead.

That scoring drive included an astonishing one-handed catch from Rams receiver Puka Nacua that set up a close-range rushing touchdown for Kyren Williams on the next play.

However, Young responded with a gutsy 43-yard touchdown completion on fourth down to find Tetairoa McMillan, which gave the hosts what turned out to be a decisive 31-28 lead after Stafford’s late fumble.

Young, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 draft who has struggled to find consistent form in his first three seasons, said he never had any doubt about attempting to convert his two fourth-down touchdown passes.

“I just trust my guys. There’s no big conversation, no big hoo-rah,” Young said. “I know these guys are always ready... I know who they are. I know the competitors they are. No matter what, I’ll always have confidence in them, so that’ll never change.”

Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills muscled their way to a 26-7 road win over Pittsburgh in a defeat that left Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers bloodied and bruised.

A miserable afternoon for Rodgers was summed up in a brutal sack by the Bills’ Joey Bosa, which saw the veteran slammed face first into the turf before fumbling to allow Buffalo’s Christian Benford to race in for a touchdown.

The win saw Buffalo improve to 8-4 in the American Football Conference (AFC) East, where they are chasing the New England Patriots (10-2), who were to host the New York Giants yesterday.

“We’ve got to find a way of winning these football games in this cold, winter type of night against a tough AFC North opponent — and we found a way,” Bills quarterback Allen said.

American Football Conference West leaders Denver improved to 10-2 with a nail-biting 27-26 overtime victory over the lowly Washington Commanders.

Broncos linebacker Nick Bonitto sealed Denver’s ninth straight win, swatting away Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota’s attempted two-point conversion pass on the final play.

Denver’s rookie running back R.J. Harvey ran for a five-yard touchdown on the opening possession of overtime. Mariota then drove Washington 65 yards on 11 plays on a scoring drive capped by a three-yard touchdown pass to Terry McLaurin.

Washington coach Dan Quinn opted to go for two points and a win rather than an extra-point kick, but Bonitto batted down Mariota’s pass and the Broncos escaped, the Commanders suffering their seventh straight defeat.

The San Francisco 49ers eased past the struggling Cleveland Browns 26-8 to remain firmly in the playoff hunt, improving to 9-4 in a three-way battle for the National Football Conference West title.

The Rams lead the division just ahead of the Seattle Seahawks, who improved to 9-3 with a 26-0 shutout of the Minnesota Vikings.

The 49ers are third.

The Jacksonville Jaguars (8-4) are also closing in on a playoff spot after a 25-3 win over the Tennessee Titans. The victory vaulted the Jaguars into top spot in the American Football Conference South after the Indianapolis Colts suffered a 20-16 reverse against the Houston Texans.

Elsewhere, the Jets downed the Falcons 27-24, the Dolphins sank the Saints 21-17 and the Chargers crushed the Raiders 31-14.

Mikel Merino on Sunday rescued Arsenal as the English Premier League leaders battled to a 1-1 draw against 10-man Chelsea in a heavyweight title clash, while Alexander Isak finally scored his first top-flight goal for troubled Liverpool in a 2-0 win at West Ham United.

Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo was sent off in the 38th minute at Stamford Bridge for a crude foul on Merino that caught the midfielder on his ankle.

Despite Caicedo’s dismissal, Trevoh Chalobah headed Chelsea into the lead from Reece James’ corner in the 48th minute, but Merino’s close-range header from Bukayo Saka’s cross in the 59th minute ensured Arsenal emerged unscathed from a bruising encounter between the title rivals.

Arsenal are five points clear of second-placed Manchester City, who beat Newcastle United on Saturday, and sit six points above third-placed Chelsea.

The Gunners remain the favorites to win their first Premier League crown since 2003-2004, but Chelsea’s combative display suggested they could emerge as the biggest threat to the Gunners’ title aspirations.

Arsenal are unbeaten in 17 games in all competitions, winning 14 of those matches, while Chelsea have gone seven matches without losing in all competitions.

“I think we showed we are heading in the right direction. We were a much better team than them 11 versus 11, but with 10 players it is difficult, but we dealt with it outstandingly,” Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca said.

Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta added: “Two teams ... play with a lot of intensity and aggression, you could sense it in every tackle.”

“We scored a brilliant goal. We had two or three big chances. It’s been a massive week emotionally and physically,” he said.

Isak had failed to score in his five top-flight appearances since making a British record ￡125 million (US$165 million) move from Newcastle in September.

The Sweden forward banished that drought with only his second goal in 11 games in all competitions for the Reds, following his maiden strike in an EFL Cup win against second-tier Southampton.

Cody Gakpo bagged Liverpool’s second goal in stoppage-time to secure their first win in four games in all competitions.

“It’s very important for us as a team that we went 1-0 up, but I think it was also important for him [Isak] because I think it was his third or fourth chance of this game,” Liverpool head coach Arne Slot said.

Joshua Zirkzee scored his first Premier League goal for nearly a year before Mason Mount grabbed the winner as Manchester United came from behind to beat Crystal Palace 2-1.

Ruben Amorim’s side trailed to Jean-Philippe Mateta’s penalty at Selhurst Park, but Zirkzee and Mount netted after halftime to secure United’s first win in four games.

United recovered from their lackluster start thanks to Zirkzee’s first goal in the Premier League since he netted against Everton in December last year.

“I could see that Palace were getting tired at the end of the first half and knew they would suffer if we scored,” Amorim said.

Unai Emery praised his Aston Villa players for turning their season around after a 1-0 win against bottom-of-the-table Wolverhampton Wanderers moved them into the fourth place.

Boubacar Kamara’s stunning strike secured Villa a seventh win from eight league games — a stark contrast to the start of the campaign when they failed to win their first five games and scored just one goal.

“Of course I was worried and I was responsible. I tried to share my worries with the players two months ago. The most important thing is how they responded to my message,” Emery said.

Fabian Hurzeler was happy to erase bad memories from the City Ground after Brighton & Hove Albion won 2-0 at Nottingham Forest.

The Seagulls avenged the 7-0 defeat they suffered there back in February, with the victory helping them climb to fifth place.

Maxim de Cuyper and Stefanos Tzimas scored for Brighton.

“We arrived here with some memories regarding last season, but we came to clean the air,” Hurzeler said.

title: Napoli beat Roma to join AC Milan at summit

content_text:
SSC Napoli on Sunday joined AC Milan at the top of Serie A after winning 1-0 at title rivals AS Roma, as Inter kept pace with the leading pair by beating Pisa SC 2-0.

David Neres stroked home the only goal of a feisty game in the 36th minute at the Stadio Olimpico, ending a blistering counterattack with a calm finish which put Napoli on 28 points.

Napoli are behind Milan on goal-difference, and just one point ahead of both Roma and Inter in a tight scudetto battle in which Antonio Conte’s team are to host Juventus at the weekend.

“To come to Rome and play with authority and personality like we did wasn’t easy because Roma came into the game on the back on some positive results,” Conte told DAZN. “We’ve sent a message to ourselves, that if we want it we can have it.”

Roma have been waiting 24 years to be crowned kings of Italy and Sunday’s defeat was already their third against a direct rival this season after also being beaten by the two Milan clubs.

Napoli have bounced back from a meltdown before the last international break and put in a classic away performance, denying Roma any real chances and pouncing at the first opportunity.

Conte had to do without Kevin de Bruyne, Andre-Frank Anguissa and Billy Gilmour — as well as long-term absentee Romelu Lukaku — but has found an effective attacking recipe with Neres and Noa Lang, who buzzed around centerforward Rasmus Hojlund.

It was Hojlund who burst forward and perfectly slipped in Neres for his third goal of the season, while robust defending kept Roma away from Vanja Milinkovic-Savic’s goal.

Roma offered little in reply, failing to break through Napoli’s backline until the 90th minute, when Milinkovic-Savic did enough to keep out Tommaso Baldanzi’s low drive from the edge of the penalty area.

“What is disappointing is that we weren’t able to perform with the right rhythm, and I think we paid a bit for playing on Thursday,” Roma head coach Gian Piero Gasperini said.

Lautaro Martinez smashed home Pio Esposito’s low cross in the 69th minute and then ensured Inter would claim the points when he tapped in from close range with seven minutes remaining.

A last-gasp loss to Atletico Madrid in midweek and a derby defeat the previous weekend had Inter reeling and although Sunday’s three points will be welcome, the overall performance was not encouraging.

“I’m happy because we won and that’s what we wanted after two defeats... I work for the team, myself and my family, I leave the talk to others,” Martinez told DAZN. “I hope it continues ... the team comes before everything else.”

Martinez’s goals took him to 10 in all competitions and saved Inter’s blushes, as Cristian Chivu’s side were sluggish at the Arena Garibaldi, which is a stone’s throw from Pisa’s world-famous leaning tower.

Pisa, who sit in the bottom three after just one win from their 13 league fixtures, had the better of the chances before Martinez’s first-time strike broke the deadlock.

Atalanta BC coach Raffaele Palladino beat his old team ACF Fiorentina 2-0 thanks to goals either side of halftime from Odilon Kossounou and Ademola Lookman.

Palladino took charge of Atalanta earlier this month following the sacking of Ivan Juric and Sunday’s win was just the third of the league season for the Bergamo club, who sit 11th on 16 points.

In Sunday’s other match, US Lecce defeated Torino 2-1.

NATURAL DISASTER: Three tropical cyclones, coinciding with monsoon rains, caused widespread destruction in Indonesia, Thailand and Sri Lanka, with hundreds missing

Severe weather across parts of Asia has claimed nearly 1,000 lives, with Indonesia and Sri Lanka among the worst affected by heavy rainfall, flooding and landslides.

Three tropical cyclones, coinciding with the northeast monsoon that typically brings heavy downpours to Southeast Asia this time of the year, have caused widespread destruction in the region. Peninsular Malaysia and southern Thailand have also received significantly above-normal rains in the past week, data from the US Climate Prediction Center showed.

In Indonesia’s Sumatra island, a week of torrential rains intensified by a rare cyclone has left at least 442 people dead and another 402 missing. Officials said casualty numbers would likely climb, as rescue teams deploy boats and helicopters to reach affected areas. Storm Senyar, which circled the Strait of Malacca last week, has now dissipated over the South China Sea, the Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) said.

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto yesterday pledged to rebuild infrastructure while visiting areas impacted by floods and landslides on Sumatra island. Some areas remained unreachable after the disaster damaged roads and downed communications lines, with residents in impacted areas relying on aircraft delivering supplies.

“We need to confront climate change effectively,” Prabowo told reporters after visiting survivors. “Local governments must take a significant role in safeguarding the environment and preparing for the extreme weather conditions that will arise from future climate change.”

In Thailand, flooding unleashed by torrential rains in the south has claimed 176 lives and affected more than 2 million households, officials said. Total economic losses are estimated at 23.6 billion baht (US$738 million), with hotels and restaurants among the hardest hit, Krungsri Research said.

The first batch of compensation payments were set to be distributed yesterday, beginning with 239 million baht for 26,000 people, government spokesperson Siripong Angkasakulkiat said.

Authorities worked to clean up streets and restore infrastructure, including water and electricity in the southern part of the country, where severe flooding affected more than 1.4 million households and 3.8 million people, he said.

Storm Senyar, responsible for the recent bout of precipitation across the region, was the first tropical cyclone to form in the Strait of Malacca since the destructive Typhoon Vamei made passage there in 2001, the HKO said.

In Sri Lanka, fatalities from heavy flooding rose sharply on Sunday, almost doubling to 334 dead and another 370 missing. Nearly 148,000 people are housed in temporary shelters after being battered in the past week downpours that flooded homes, fields and roads and triggered landslides, primarily in the tea-growing central hill country.

Cyclone Ditwah, which came ashore in the island nation on Friday, was yesterday forecast to bring heavy rains to some parts of southern India, forecasters said.

The storm’s passage has left Sri Lanka facing its “largest and most challenging natural disaster,” Sri Lankan President Anura Kumara Dissanayake said in a national address on Sunday night.

Storm Koto is forecast to linger in the waters east of Vietnam as it gradually weakens over the next few days.

It would likely bring more rains to central and northern-central Vietnam, which have already been pounded by storms and historic floods that have racked up at least US$3 billion in losses in the past few weeks.

Rains are forecast to ease off to seasonal levels in most of the affected areas from midweek, with a drier trend predicted for Peninsular Malaysia and Sumatra around the middle of this month, forecasters said.


title: Long-lost Rubens crucifixion work fetches US$2.7m

content_text:
A long-lost painting by Baroque master Peter Paul Rubens, which was hidden for more than four centuries, on Sunday sold at 2.3 million euros (US$2.7 million) at an auction in Versailles, France.

The painting was recently found in a private townhouse in Paris. It depicts the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It was part of a French collection and was initially thought to be from one of the many Rubens workshops that existed at the time. The artwork was rarely valued at more than 10,000 euros.

“I immediately had a hunch about this painting, and I did everything I could to try to have it authenticated,” auctioneer Jean-Pierre Osenat said. “And finally, we managed to have it authenticated by the Rubenianum, which is the Rubens committee in Antwerp.”

Nils Buttner, an expert known for his research on Rubens, explained before the auction that the master often painted crucifixions, but rarely depicted “the crucified Christ as a dead body on the cross.”

“So this is the one and only painting showing blood and water coming out of the side wound of Christ, and this is something that Rubens only painted once,” he said.

The Osenat auction house said the painting’s authenticity and provenance were confirmed after scientific analysis. It said that microscopic examination of the paint layers revealed not only white, black, and red pigments in the areas representing flesh, but also blue and green pigments Rubens typically used in painting human skin.

Art expert Eric Turquin told a packed house the painting had virtually disappeared in the early 1600s. It is known to have belonged to 19th-century French classic painter William Bouguereau before it was passed down in the family.

IN ABSENTIA: The MP for Hampstead and Highgate in London, a niece of deposed Bangladesh prime minister Sheik Hasina, condemned the ‘flawed and farcical’ trial

A court in Bangladesh yesterday sentenced British Member of Parliament Tulip Siddiq to two years in jail after a judge ruled she was complicit in corrupt land deals with her aunt, the country’s deposed prime minister Sheikh Hasina.

A judge found Siddiq, the Labour MP for Hampstead and Highgate, guilty of misusing her “special influence” as a British politician to coerce Hasina into giving valuable pieces of land to her mother, brother and sister.

Siddiq’s mother, Sheikh Rehana, was given seven years in prison and considered the prime participant in the case.

The trial had been carried out in absentia: Neither Hasina, Siddiq, Rehana nor more than a dozen other members of her family accused in the case were in the court as the verdict was read out.

The UK does not have an extradition treaty with Bangladesh and it is unlikely Siddiq would serve the sentence.

Siddiq had denied the charges, claiming that much of the evidence presented by prosecutors was forged. She had been put on trial as a Bangladeshi citizen, with a passport and tax ID, even though she said she had not held a Bangladeshi passport since childhood and had never paid taxes there.

After the verdict, Siddiq said she hoped it would be met with the “contempt it deserves.”

“This whole process has been flawed and farcical from the beginning to the end,” she said.

“The outcome of this kangaroo court is as predictable as it is unjustified. I hope this so-called ‘verdict’ will be treated with the contempt it deserves. My focus has always been my constituents in Hampstead and Highgate and I refuse to be distracted by the dirty politics of Bangladesh,” she added.

Last week, a group of leading Brtish lawyers, including a former Conservative justice secretary, told Bangladesh’s ambassador that the trial against Siddiq was “artificial, contrived and unfair.”

Due to their absence, the accused in the case were denied access to defense lawyers, and a lawyer who attempted to represent Siddiq and others alleged she was threatened and put under house arrest.

Siddiq, a former Cabinet minister, claimed had been caught up in a politically motivated attack on her aunt Hasina, whose 15-year rule of Bangladesh was marred with authoritarianism, corruption and human rights abuses.

Last month, Hasina was sentenced to death for crimes against humanity by a special tribunal in Dhaka, for her role in the massacre of more than 1,000 people who took part in anti-government protests last year that eventually led to her downfall. Last week, she was given a further 21-year prison sentence on corruption charges.

Hasina has remained in exile in India since her fall from power in August last year, and the country has yet to respond to extradition requests by Bangladesh for her to return to serve her sentence.

During Hasina’s tenure, Siddiq was pictured several times with Hasina in Bangladesh. In January, she stepped down as Treasury minister amid allegations that she had used properties linked to the Hasina regime, though an inquiry later found she had broken no rules.

Thousands of people on Sunday joined protest marches in Croatia against a surging far right following a spate of incidents that have fueled ethnic and political tensions in the EU nation.

Gatherings dubbed “United against fascism” were organized in four major cities, including the capital, Zagreb. The crowd chanted “we are all antifascists!” as they pledged to counter what they described as a bid by right-wing groups to spread fear and silence opponents.

Protesters also demanded that the authorities curb hard-right groups and their frequent use of pro-fascist symbols relating to Croatia’s World War II pro-Nazi puppet state, which ran concentration camps where tens of thousands of ethnic Serbs, Jews, Roma and antifascist Croats were executed.

A protest declaration stated that “we will not agree to treating national minorities as a provocation and to an idea of patriotism that draws its symbols from the darkest episode of our history.”

“All that has been happening around us is very dangerous,” journalist Maja Sever told participants at the Zagreb rally. “You have shown you will not be quiet, but that we will fight for a democratic society.”

Groups of young men wearing black clothes showed up in counter-gatherings in the northwestern port city of Rijeka and the central coastal town of Zadar, where they shouted insults, and threw firecrackers and red paint at the protesters, the HRT public broadcaster said.

Extremist incidents last month targeted ethnic Serb cultural events in Zagreb and in the coastal city of Split, sparking fears of ethnic violence decades after a Serb-Croat war in 1991-1995. Extremists have also turned against liberal groups or politicians, as well as foreign workers in Croatia. They often use the “For the homeland — Ready” salute of the Nazi-era puppet Ustasha regime that ran Croatia during World War II.

“We have groups throwing smoke bombs and firecrackers and threatening violence, raising their right hand in the air and shouting ‘For the homeland — Ready,’” Iva Davorija, an organizer of the march in Zadar, told HRT public broadcaster. “They are doing this freely.”

Croatia’s tilt to the right first started after the governing conservatives of Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovic formed a coalition with a far-right party after last year’s parliamentary election, leaving an ethnic Serb party outside the government for the first time in years.

However, the trend culminated with a mass concert in July of a right-wing singer whose use of the World War II slogan in one of his most popular songs has been a source of controversy and divisions for years. Singer Marko Perkovic — whose stage name is Thompson after a US-made machine gun — has been banned from some European cities, but remains hugely popular in Croatia.

Croatian Prime Minister Plenkovic has denied turning a blind eye to spikes in far-right extremism and neo-fascist hate speech. He, in turn, has accused his leftist opponents of blowing the problem out of proportion and thus deepening the divisions.

Croatia was part of the Communist-run Yugoslavia after World War II, but the federation broke up in a series of nationalist wars in the 1990s. In Croatia, minority Serbs rebelled against the split and took control over swaths of Croatia’s territory with an aim to join Serbia. More than 10,000 people died in the conflict.

Croatia joined the EU in 2013 after becoming a member of NATO four years earlier.

title: Thailand extradites  Vietnamese activist despite concerns

content_text:
Thai authorities extradited a Vietnamese activist who had been detained in Bangkok since last year, despite concerns from rights groups that he could be in danger if sent back to Vietnam.

Y Quynh Bdap, who helped found a group that advocated for the rights of Vietnamese ethnic minorities, was handed over to Vietnamese authorities on Friday and his whereabouts are now unknown, his lawyer Nadthasiri Bergman said yesterday.

“He disappeared from the custody of Thai authorities on Friday, and as of now, we still don’t know his whereabouts,” Nadthasiri said. “This is clearly a violation of Thailand’s anti-torture and enforced disappearance laws.”

The Royal Thai Police did not immediately respond to inquiries regarding Bdap’s extradition.

The Department of Corrections on Friday said that it had transferred Bdap from a Bangkok prison to the police after the Court of Appeal upheld a lower court’s order last year to extradite him to Vietnam.

MINORITY RIGHTS

Bdap is a 33-year-old cofounder of the Montagnards Stand for Justice group. Vietnam has long faced criticism from rights groups for its treatment of the Montagnard minority, a term broadly used to refer to several predominantly Christian ethnic groups living in the central highlands of Vietnam and in Cambodia.

The activist was accused of organizing anti-government riots in Vietnam’s central highland province of Dak Lak in 2023, in which nine people were killed, including four police officers and two government officials.

Bdap denied the charges, saying in a video released shortly before he was detained that he had “absolutely nothing to do with that violent incident.”

“I am a human rights activist fighting for religious freedom and advocating for people’s rights,” he said. “My activities are peaceful, consisting only of collecting and writing reports on human rights violations in Vietnam.”

BANGKOK DETENTION

Bdap went into hiding in Thailand after he was alerted that Vietnamese authorities were making inquires about him, but was detained in Bangkok in June last year, his lawyer said.

He was convicted in absentia in Vietnam in January on terrorism charges and sentenced to 10 years in prison.

In total, about 100 people have been tried for alleged involvement in the riots, and 53 have been convicted on terrorism charges.

Days after the verdicts, Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Pham Thu Hang rejected criticism that Vietnam had used the trial as an opportunity to crack down on ethnic minorities.

Human Rights Watch has criticized Thailand for deporting dissidents to uncertain fates in Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and China, a practice it describes as a form of transnational repression in return for which other countries send back dissidents wanted by Thailand.

“It is appalling that Thailand has chosen to assist Vietnam in repressing human rights activists. Transnational repression has become a stain on Thailand’s human rights record, especially as a current member of the United Nations Human Rights Council,” said Sunai Phasuk, Asia adviser for Human Rights Watch.

Cuddling capybaras and ogling otters: the problem with animal cafes in AsiaA boom in places offering petting sessions is linked to a rise in the illegal movement of exotic and endangered species, experts say

The second floor of an unassuming office building in central Bangkok is a strange place to encounter the world’s largest rodent. Yet here, inside a small enclosure with a shallow pool, three capybaras are at the disposal of dozens of paying customers, all clamoring for a selfie. As people eagerly thrust leafy snacks toward the nonchalant-looking animals, few seem to consider the underlying peculiarity: how did this South American rodent end up over 10,000 miles from home, in a bustling Asian metropolis?

Capybara cafes have been cropping up across the continent in recent years, driven by the animal’s growing internet fame. The semi-aquatic animals feature in more than 600,000 TikTok posts. In Bangkok, cafe customers pay 400 baht (NT$389) for a 30-minute petting session with them, along with a few meerkats and Chinese bamboo rats. Doors are open 12 hours a day, seven days a week.

“They’re just so weird,” Elizabeth Congdon, a capybara biologist at Bethune-Cookman University in Florida, said, mulling over the rodent’s sudden appeal. “And then you combine that weirdness factor with how docile they are, how easy they are to keep in zoos and how social they are.”

But the newfound popularity, experts say, is tied to a troubling boom in exotic animal cafes across Asia. Taiwan was the first place to allow cafe patrons to rendezvous with cats, in 1998. Japan and South Korea later popularised mingling with wilder animals, from owls to raccoons. Last year, the latter cracked down on exotic animal cafes, introducing laws that would stop cafes displaying wild animals unless they were registered as zoos or aquariums. But in some of Asia’s other large cities, from Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam to Guangzhou, China, animal cafes are more popular than ever.

CONSERVATION CONCERNS

“The amount of diversity and the number of animals — and, in particular, quite a few threatened animals — is very concerning,” Timothy Bonebrake, a conservation biologist at the University of Hong Kong who has studied the growth of exotic animal cafes in Asia, said.

Even a cursory online search yields capybara cafes in places such as Jakarta, Qingdao and Hanoi. The rodents are not classified as endangered — they range from northern Colombia down to northern Argentina, with an estimated 1.2 million roaming Brazil’s wetlands and cities. But, “the reason they are not endangered is because they are abundant in Brazil where they are protected,” Congdon said, adding that in Venezuela and Colombia they live mostly in protected areas.

The international trade in capybaras is not regulated by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), though exporting native wild capybaras remains illegal in many South American countries, such as Brazil, Argentina and Peru. Experts say the rodents’ movement from South America to Asia is often linked to the illegal pet trade, with the same people moving species across international borders.

“Legal and illegal supply chains for live animals converge at multiple points, and are often controlled by the same people and companies,” Scott Roberton, executive director of a team countering wildlife trafficking at the Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), said.

The capybaras at the Bangkok cafe are “from ethic[al] farms in Thailand. We don’t import them from their original country,” a small sign in the animals’ enclosure said. However, Roberton said: “Laundering of illegally caught animals into legal supply chains is very common, with those animals often then used to establish or supplement breeding stock.”

EXPLOITING THE ENDANGERED

Species at risk of extinction have also been swept up in the pet trade for exotic animal cafes. This year, a study linked small-clawed otters found in Japanese animal cafes to two poaching hotspots in southern Thailand — violating a ban on the commercial trade of the vulnerable species.

Concerns about the growth in the illegal pet trade, including for animal cafes, prompted members of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) to adopt a motion targeted at curbing the illegal pet trade at its October congress meeting.

“The global pet trade is really out of control, from a conservation perspective,” Sue Lieberman, vice-president of international policy at WCS, said. “In the past five years, we have seen much more pet trade in Asia. We used to talk about the food trade in China, but now the pet trade in China is increasing with all these pet cafes.”

A survey of one of China’s largest databases on corporations, Qichacha, reveals that the number of businesses listed as petting zoos, which includes animal cafes, shot up from fewer than 100 in 2020 to more than 1,800 in 2025. And while private pet ownership in China increased by 50 percent over the past five years, pet cafes have been growing at 200 percent annually.

A comprehensive analysis of recent growth in the number of exotic animal cafes across the whole of Asia is lacking, but one study co-authored by Bonebrake in the journal Conservation Letters found there were 406 animal cafes across Asia in 2019, just over a quarter of which contained exotic species. And of the more than 250 exotic species recorded, nearly half were threatened with extinction or had a decreasing population in the wild.

Even in the absence of conservation concerns about imported species, some countries are worried about the movement of exotic animals for cafes. In May, police seized five capybaras from traffickers in Costa Rica, where their trading is illegal due to fears they could escape and flourish in the wild. Capybaras breed rapidly, can withstand a wide range of temperatures and have a flexible diet of grasses and aquatic plants. “There is a high risk for them to be invasive,” Congdon says.

The impact of pet cafes on the illegal wildlife trade isn’t just limited to the animals moving through a venue’s doors, Roberton said, but how they may stimulate demand. “Suddenly, you’re encouraging people that there is this cool, big exotic animal that you can pet and feed. How many people leave that cafe and go, ‘I want a baby capybara’?”

“Sentence me to death! I beg you — I beg you!” He stood, thin from weeks in a cell, but steady. The courtroom was silent. Soldiers lined the walls. Reporters looked up, pens suspended above their notebooks. The judges shifted. Cameras clicked once, then stopped.

Outside, the sun blazed over the barracks yard. Inside, it was winter. The words rebellion and death penalty hung in the air like a storm cloud about to break. But this moment had not begun here.

It began three months earlier, on a warm December evening. The traffic circle at Zhongshan and Zhongzheng 4th Road was filling with people celebrating International Human Rights Day. They carried candles and signs that read Freedom, Justice, Human Rights. They were not rebels. They were only students, teachers, parents and children who believed words could change the island’s future. As twilight deepened, the circle became a sea of lights. Tens of thousands stood shoulder to shoulder, their candles flickering like stars. A truck became a stage. Voices rose. They were brave, hopeful, defiant.

Around them, another circle formed: riot police, shields gleaming under the streetlights. As dusk fell, more squads moved in, closing the ring.

The loudspeakers barked: Disperse immediately. Few moved. A second warning came, harsher. Then the night split open. Tear gas burst. Smoke rolled through the crowd. People stumbled, screamed. Parents shielded children. Boots struck pavement. Banners fell. The lights of hope scattered into the alleys. By midnight, the circle was empty. The gas hung low. The next day, the arrests began. They came at dawn, door by door — writers, teachers, activists. Some were beaten, others vanished. But he was not caught. He moved from house to house, sleeping in storerooms, hiding in churches, waiting.

For nearly a month, the search tightened. When they found him, he did not resist. He only said his life no longer belonged to him. It belonged to generations who would not have to hide, whisper, or die for freedom.

「判我死刑吧！拜託你們——拜託你們！」 他站在那裡，因在牢裡待了數週而清瘦，但雙腳依然穩健。法庭內一片寂靜。士兵沿著牆壁站成一排。記者們抬起頭，手中的筆懸在筆記本上。法官微微挪動身體。相機快門按了一聲，又停了下來。

外頭，陽光炙烤著兵營廣場。裡頭，卻如同寒冬。「叛亂」、「死刑」這兩個字像暴風雨前壓頂的烏雲，懸在空氣中。然而，故事的開端並不在這裡。

這一切，都始於三個月前，一個溫暖的十二月傍晚。位於中山路與中正四路交叉口的圓環，正聚集著慶祝「國際人權日」的人群。他們拿著蠟燭和寫著「自由、正義、人權」的標語。他們不是叛亂分子。他們只是相信文字能改變這座島嶼未來的學生、老師、父母和孩子。

暮色漸深，圓環成了一片燈海。數萬人肩並肩站著，手中的蠟燭如 星辰閃爍。一輛卡車成為了舞台，聲音四處響起。這裡的人勇敢、充滿希望，並無所畏懼。

在他們周圍，形成了另一個圈：鎮暴警察。盾牌在街燈的照射下反射著光。黃昏時分，更多隊伍移入，包圍圈逐漸縮小。

擴音器發出警告：「立刻解散。」幾乎沒有人移動。第二次警告傳來，且更為嚴厲。接著，寧靜的夜就此劃破——催淚瓦斯炸開，煙霧四散在人群中。人們踉蹌、尖叫，父母保護著孩子。靴子踏擊著路面，旗幟倒下，希望的燈火四散逃入巷弄之中。到了午夜，圓環已經空無一人，只剩瓦斯霧氣瀰漫低垂。

第二天，逮捕行動開始了。他們在黎明時分，挨家挨戶地上門抓人——作家、老師、社運人士。有些人被毆打，有些人則從此消失地無影無蹤。但是，他，並沒有被抓到。他輾轉於不同的地方，睡在儲藏室，躲在教堂裡，等待著。

搜捕行動持續了近一個月，且日益嚴密。當他們找到他時，他沒有抵抗。他只說，他的生命不再屬於他自己。它屬於那些不必再為了自由而躲藏、低語或犧牲的後代。

故事討論

His name was Shih Ming-teh. He was arrested after the Formosa Incident, the Human Rights Day rally on Dec. 10, 1979, in Kaohsiung. The government charged him with rebellion, accusing him of masterminding plans to seize power. During his military trial, he refused to defend himself and instead demanded death. He hoped his sacrifice would awaken others.

The court spared his life but sentenced him to life imprisonment. This was the harshest of all the defendants. In total, 152 people were arrested or implicated in the case, dozens injured, and the island’s fear deepened. Yet that night became a spark. Within eight years, martial law was lifted, and Taiwan began its journey toward democracy.

He lived long enough to see the ideals once condemned as rebellion written into law. Before his death, he saw Taiwan rank first in Asia in the 2023 Human Freedom Index — a measure of how far those silenced voices had carried.

他的名字是施明德。他在 1979 年 12 月 10 日高雄的「國際人權日」集會（即「美麗島事件」）後被捕。政府以叛亂罪起訴他，指控他主謀策劃奪取政權。在軍事審判期間，他拒絕為自己辯護，反而請求判處死刑。他希望他的犧牲能喚醒其他人。

法院最終並未判處他死刑，但給予他在所有被告中最嚴厲的判決︰無期徒刑。總共有 152 人被捕或涉案，數十人受傷，這加深了這座島嶼的恐懼。然而，那一夜成為了一點星火。八年內，戒嚴令解除，台灣開始了邁向民主的旅程。

他活得夠久，親眼看到那些曾被視為「叛亂」的理想，被寫入了法律。臨終前，他看到台灣在 2023 年的「人類自由指數」中排名亞洲第一——那是被壓抑的聲音，走過漫長歲月所帶來的成果。

記者高兆麟／台北報導

潘文淵文教基金會今日宣布，第十九屆潘文淵獎由旺宏電子董事長吳敏求獲得，肯定吳敏求在企業管理、創新經營的成就及對人才培育的努力。他所帶領的旺宏電子是台灣最早推動自有品牌「產品」及「技術」的記憶體廠商，也是台灣少數具有IC設計、生產製造、封裝測試及行銷能力的IC整合元件製造公司，同時吳敏求董事長還積極投入公益事業，為社會帶來正面的力量，對人才培育與社會回饋均有長期投入，推動科技發展成果斐然，堪稱產業界典範。

針對近期記憶體市況，吳敏求則表示，記憶體缺貨是DRAM，因為資料中心需要大量DRAM，因此推升DRAM價格攀升，但Flash因用量較小，缺貨的應該不是Flash，而對旺宏來說，只要能在記憶體領域裡面慢慢成長就好，不過他也認為，DRAM可能會大起大落。

至於對AI發展看法，他則指出，現在AI發展的趨勢是先把硬體做好，有好的GPU以及好的硬體基礎，新應用會自然出現，並帶來巨大助益。至於對記憶體市況影響，他則表示，雖然不好精準預測未來，但目前觀察，市場上包括價格與需求都呈現正向發展。

潘文淵文教基金會於新竹國賓飯店舉行「第19屆潘文淵獎頒獎典禮」，潘文淵獎旨在表揚長期對台灣科技產業發展開拓卓越貢獻的終身成就獎，頒獎典禮由潘文淵文教基金會董事長史欽泰主持，前行政院院長，現任中華文化永續發展基金會董事長劉兆玄頒獎。

吳敏求於會中表示，36年前他從美國矽谷號召40多位資深工程師返台創立旺宏電子，一切白手起家，當初創立的時候想做SOC，因此，把半導體不同領域的人才帶回台灣，也帶回美國最新的技術，所以現在台灣很多邏輯公司的資深高階主管多是來自旺宏。吳敏求董事長堅持發展自主技術，面對當時日本半導體產業的嚴峻挑戰，首創將統計學結合半導體產業，開發出sNOVA系統，成為全球第一家採用全面電腦化生產的晶圓廠，這項突破不僅推動台灣半導體產業走向智慧製造，也大幅提升半導體製造及產品的品質，成為鞏固現今台灣作為全球電子產業重要樞紐地位的重要關鍵。

吳敏求更積極推動臺灣第三類股上市，成功吸引大量海外資金投注國內高科技產業，促進台灣高科技產業的蓬勃發展，從營造幸福企業環境、為台灣培育科技人才，到提升台灣國際競爭力，希望能對台灣社會作出貢獻，感謝潘文淵文教基金會頒予他獎項肯定，這是旺宏團隊共同努力的成果，謝謝所有同行的伙伴。

史欽泰在致詞時表示，潘文淵文教基金會成立於1996年，由工研院、美洲技術顧問團 (TAC) 及台積電、聯華電子、華邦電子與幾位產業界先進共同發起成立，感念50年前潘文淵博士草擬積體電路發展計畫開啟我國半導體產業發展的契機，並衍生成立聯電、台積電及世界先進等公司，推動台灣電子工業蓬勃成長。為表揚長期對我國科技產業之開拓或發展有傑出貢獻的領導人，自2004年起設立「潘文淵獎」的終身成就獎，已有張忠謀、施振榮、鄭崇華、蔡明介、曾繁城、黃民奇、劉克振、盧明光、杜書伍、蔡力行、劉德音……等20多位產業菁英獲獎。

遴選委員會召集人曾繁城說明，今年是由旺宏電子創辦人吳敏求董事長獲獎，旺宏為台灣最早推動自有品牌「產品」及「技術」的記憶體廠商，是台灣少數具有IC設計、生產製造、封裝測試及行銷能力的IC整合元件製造公司，此創新經營模式，讓台灣高科技產業得以走出以代工為主的傳統營運型態。吳董事長對產業有深遠影響，且對人才培育與社會回饋的長期投入，為科技發展貢獻卓著，堪稱產業界典範。

頒獎人劉兆玄表示，每年一度的潘文淵獎是科技界的矚目焦點，也是台灣科技界的最高榮譽之一，素有「台灣科技界諾貝爾獎」之稱。歷屆的獲獎人都是在其領域上有巨大貢獻且影響力對於產業發展具有深遠意義的領導菁英。本屆獲獎人吳敏求董事長，深具遠見的企業經營，更投入公益與社會回饋的實際行動，成為企業界的典範。他長期推動知識傳承與人才培育，並成立「旺宏教育基金會」，推動「旺宏金矽獎」與「旺宏科學獎」…等重要獎項，也捐助大學設立「旺宏館」，並創設全台第一個跨領域的智慧運算學院，開啟台灣 AI 創新與跨域人才培育之先河。

基金會執行長羅達賢表示本屆頒獎典禮同時舉行「高峰論壇」，由本屆得獎人旺宏電子董事長吳敏求與今周刊顧問林宏文以「台灣半導體產業的創新之路」進行對談，深入分享旺宏電子過去成長、現在規劃與未來策略。旺宏電子不僅加大對台灣半導體發展的投入，更致力於人才的培育，期待以新一代的人才將台灣的科技之路推向更高峰。

記者陶本和／台北報導

總統賴清德上周宣布提出史無前例的1.25兆新台幣的國防特別預算。對此，美國前總統拜登（Joe Biden）、現任美國總統川普（Donald Trump）的國防部印太安全事務助理部長蘭特納（Ely Ratner）與薛瑞福（Randall Schriver），近日聯手共筆以題「台灣正在增加國防開支，是個好消息」（Taiwan is stepping up on defense spending. That’s good news.）撰文投書華盛頓郵報。

值得注意的是，這篇投書的二位作者，都是重量級人物，蘭特納是Marathon Initiative倡議組織的負責人；而薛瑞福是印太安全研究所主席。薛瑞福在2018年至2019年，是川普總統任內第一位印太安全事務的國防部助理部長，而蘭特納是2021年至2025年擔任此職，橫跨川普、拜登執政時代。

該文中他們表示，身為拜登和川普第一任期內負責印太安全事務的前國防部助理部長，敦促台灣採取更迫切的行動，「現在我們可以自信地說，以往的認知越來越過時了」。

他們認為，預算在分配上，用於人員、訓練、武器配置，可以幫助台灣遏制中國的侵略，著眼於優先發展小型、機動性強且殺傷力高的系統，以優化非對稱防禦，好比無人機、網路化防空系統、機動火箭炮和反艦飛彈。

他們提到，這些投資可以幫助台灣成為美國印太司令部司令帕帕羅上將所說的，打造台海「人間煉獄」景象，為一個致命戰場做出貢獻。台灣已經吸收烏克蘭的經驗，無人機系統已經徹底改變現代戰爭的格局，所以台灣需要大量無人機，且擺脫對中國紅色供應鏈的依賴；因此，台灣政府大力投資本土的生產和研發能力，以期大規模、快速部署性能卓越且價格合理的無人機。

此外，他們也提及，台灣正在投資提升國家韌性，這是至關重要的威懾手段，中國計劃是基於一個假設，就是台灣民眾會在壓力下迅速崩潰，但台灣正在努力證明事實會恰恰相反。因此，政府計劃在網路安全、儲備關鍵資源和保護基礎設施等領域投入超過5億美元，「一個做好了承受苦難並繼續戰鬥的社會，是北京難以輕易征服的」。

不過他們也坦言，這一切都不容易，立法院必須批准這些投資，台灣的國防單位也必須續改革其訓練、維護和運作部隊的方式。全社會韌性必須繼續從口號轉化為實踐，「但方向是明確的：台灣正以前所未有的認真和專注採取行動」。

他們認為，川普政府敦促台灣增加國防開支的做法是正確的，但台灣不能也不應該獨自應付這項挑戰，畢竟中國的經濟規模大約是台灣的20倍。

他們強調，正因如此，美國必須繼續發揮核心支持作用，華盛頓應該充分利用國會已撥付給台灣的國防資金，並與歐洲和亞洲的夥伴合作，探索更快向台灣提供武器裝備的創新途徑。

他們認為，美國工業界也可以與台灣企業進行更多合作，並擴大太平洋兩岸的生產能力，幫助台灣並非出於慈善，而是出於審慎。美國對維護台海地區的和平與穩定有著深切的利益，一個更強大、更有韌性的台灣能夠降低戰爭風險，並減輕美軍的危險。

他們強調，正如美國國防部長赫格塞斯日前對亞洲國防領導人所說，「我們的目標是防止戰爭，讓戰爭代價過高，使和平成為唯一的選擇。我們將以強大的威懾力量來實現這一目標」，台灣正在構築這道屏障，華盛頓應該支持。

▲男子才結婚不到2年，便與護理師發展出婚外情。（圖／AI生成）

記者柯振中／綜合報導

嘉義一名男子阿宇（化名）2023年間與妻子結婚，怎料婚後不到2年，他便在外面發展婚外情，與女子小詩（化名）發展成情侶關係，還互傳半裸照片、拍下裸身躺床的照片，氣得妻子將2人告上法院。嘉義地院簡易庭判2人須賠20萬元，地院法官駁回2人的上訴，不得上訴。

根據判決書內容，阿宇2023年間與妻子結婚，怎料婚後不到2年的時間，就與在醫院擔任護理師的小詩發展出婚外情，2人不但互稱寶貝，還會一同出遊，發送「愛你」、「想你」等甜蜜文字，更是多次提及「榨乾」、「榨乾吃掉」等字眼。

此外，小詩還曾發送半裸的照片給阿宇，阿宇的手機裡還留有接吻、裸身躺在床上依偎等照片，讓阿宇的妻子身心大受打擊，決定將2人告上法院，求償50萬元。

對此，阿宇則辯稱，是跟妻子離婚以後，才跟小詩發展出感情，更是拿出離婚後2周的電影票票根佐證。不過台南地院法官勘驗證據內容，發現2人曾在台鐵某車站拍攝影片，且影片內容提及因地震影響火車行駛，該地震發生的時間則是在2人離婚前，因此不採信阿宇的說法。

台南地院簡易庭經過審理後，判阿宇、小詩須賠償20萬元。2人對於判決感到不服，提出上訴，主張曾經簽訂協議書，要求阿宇的妻子刪除對話紀錄、不得提出民事求償，因此該對話紀錄不具證據能力。

不過，對於2人的說法，台南地院法官詳細查閱後發現，所謂的協議書是阿宇與妻子之間的借貸、婚禮代墊、車輛貸款及協商如何離婚等事項進行磋商，並未針對侵害配偶權一事進行討論，說法並不足採，最終駁回上訴，全案確定。

記者黃哲民、閔文昱／台北報導

台北市夜店大亨夏天倫日前在松山區停車場遭兩名男子持刀棍、辣椒水襲擊，左手臂被砍出深長刀傷。涉案的27歲林姓男子犯案後1小時持兇刀回到派出所自首，聲稱因「遭夏男無故資遣」心生怨恨，但全案疑點重重，檢警懷疑背後另有藏鏡人操盤。台北地院１日深夜裁定林男羈押禁見。

林男到案後交出開山刀、角鋼鐵棍及辣椒水，卻對行兇同夥僅以「阿源」帶過，並辯稱刀械是在車上「剛好發現」才拿來使用。警方查扣的犯罪車輛內還放有優力膠棒等黑幫常用工具，加上林男手機僅存律師電話、無通聯紀錄，形成典型「斷點式犯案」模式。

北檢認為林男供詞避重就輕，又有共犯在逃，存在串證滅證及逃亡之虞，1日深夜向法院聲押禁見獲准。警方將持續追查幕後指使者與第二名刀手行蹤。

夏天倫事後也在 Threads 發聲，強調自己未影射特定人士，但對方若意圖危及其家人與親友，「一定會挺身而出」。

▲大學舊情人在學校侵犯。（示意圖／翻攝免費圖庫／Pixabay）

記者黃宥寧／台北報導

北部1名林姓男子被前女友小雅（化名）控訴，在2人交往期間及分手後，先後兩度在大學校園內對她侵犯。2人當年為大學同學，案發時仍能進入校園使用教室與系館空間。雖然事件已過8年，但小雅陸續整理資料並提告。地檢署偵查終結，依妨害性自主罪將林男起訴。

林男與小雅於2016年6月開始交往，約維持半年關係。第1次事件發生在同年7至8月間，2人在校園教室飲酒聊天時，林男竟趁小雅不同意並掙扎拒絕下，強行脫去她的衣物並以指侵得逞。隔天上午，小雅穿好衣物準備離開時，林男又基於接續犯意，再度脫光她的衣物、將人拉到腿上壓制，以下體第二度得逞。

第3次事件則發生於2017年2月某日，當時2人已分手。林男因不甘結束關係，約小雅在校園大樓談話；小雅明確拒絕復合後，林男竟突然將她壓制在牆上、強行拉下褲子撫摸她的私密處，再把她轉向面對牆壁，從後方性侵得逞。

林男到案後全盤否認犯行，承認2人曾有性行為，但強調皆在小雅自願下進行，否認有脫衣、壓制或強暴情節。

然而，檢察官認為小雅在2次事件後均曾向友人哭訴，與偵訊時陳述一致；她亦曾在Instagram記錄當時心情，而校內性平會調查報告亦顯示，林男承認性行為確實曾發生；多項資料相互印證，檢方未採信其否認之詞，依法提起公訴。

本案犯行發生於2016年至2017年間，並非案發當時即進入刑事程序，而是小雅其後向檢警正式提出告訴，檢方據以展開偵查，並於日前偵查終結起訴。由於強制性交屬重大罪名，追訴期最長可達30年，本案並未逾越追訴期間。

德國施泰因哈根2025年12月1日 /美通社/ — 常壓電漿技術在實現製程自動化的同時，能夠有效提升生產效率並降低環境負面影響。由Plasmatreat GmbH開發的PlasmaPlus®電漿奈米鍍膜技術，通過為密封金屬表面提供全面抗腐蝕滲透保護，實現了表面處理技術的革命性突破。其多重優勢使之成為傳統工藝的真正替代方案，正受到交通運輸、新能源等眾多行業的重點關注。

傳統金屬表面防腐處理方法（如上蠟或電鍍）往往涉及強效且有害環境的化學工藝。這些方法不僅成本高昂、耗時較長，且通常難以實現自動化。由Plasmatreat GmbH研發的PlasmaPlus®等離子奈米鍍膜技術，提供了一種高效、可自動化且能精準選擇處理區域的替代方案。

PlasmaPlus®——高效抵禦腐蝕介質滲透

在PlasmaPlus®工藝中，防腐保護是通常氣壓等離子技術實現。將氣態前驅體注入等離子射流，可在密封點處的金屬表面形成超薄高效的有機矽塗層。這一處理為後續固體或液態密封膠（FIPG）的塗覆創造了理想基面。PlasmaPlus®塗層能顯著改善材料潤濕性與附著力，最終在金屬表面形成抵禦腐蝕性電解質的可靠屏障，為金屬合金及非不銹鋼材料提供持久的超高等級防腐保護。

區域選擇性、高效處理能力、全自動且更環保的處理工藝

採用常壓等離子技術實現可靠防腐保護，可為工業領域帶來多重效益。Plasmatreat等離子系統能夠實現表面選擇性處理——以金屬外殼為例，等離子系統可精確定位至密封件所在區域進行局部處理。該工藝效率顯著優於傳統方法：PlasmaPlus®技術憑藉其乾式工藝特性，使基材處理後立即可進入後續工序，有效縮短生產週期並降低物流成本。材料消耗量極低，每小時注入等離子射流的前驅體材料最多不超過50克。另一顯著優勢在於等離子工藝出色的線上集成能力，可無縫對接現代化生產線。

Plasmatreat系統可輕鬆集成至現有生產線，實現全自動化流程。除了更高的效能與效率外，等離子技術的優勢在於能夠替代傳統有害環境的化學防腐工藝，為眾多企業乃至整個行業帶來了實質性益處。正因如此，常壓等離子技術正成為多個行業的變革性解決方案——例如在汽車工業中，等離子技術已廣泛應用於電池殼體、控制單元外殼、功率模組等部件的密封工藝。

這部影片揭示了阿布札比拍攝規模之宏大與野心之雄厚，內容包括導演 Reuben Fleischer、製片人 Bobby Cohen、實體製作執行副總裁 Kelly Konop 以及製作設計 David Scheunemann 的專訪。

阿布札比製作項目獲得創意媒體管理局 (CMA) 透過阿布札比電影委員會 (ADFC) 提供的 35%++ 現金回扣、簡化許可流程及在地支援服務，並在與當地製作服務供應商 Epic Films、主要取景地合作方 Miral Destinations，以及國內各行業夥伴與政府機構的緊密協作下順利完成。

Sameer Al Jaberi 是阿布札比電影委員會 (ADFC) 主席，表示：「這部幕後花絮影片，頌揚了使阿布札比成為真正友善電影拍攝地的協作生態系統。完成如此規模的製作，彰顯了我們的效率、強大的跨機構協調能力，以及本地創意媒體產業所蘊藏的才華。這正是阿布札比如何賦能國際電影人實現創作願景的有力例證，同時也為我們創意生態系統的發展注入了強勁動力。」

Liam Findlay 是 Miral Destinations 執行總監，表示：「我們與阿布札比電影委員會 (ADFC) 、創意媒體管理局 (CMA) 和 Lionsgate 合作在這個製作中，讓亞斯島和更廣闊的阿布札比作為電影製作人的世界級目的地。從亞斯島的標誌性建築與景點，到阿布札比完善的支援體系，我們持續為享譽全球的敘事藝術與電影創新奠定舞台基礎。」

此製作彰顯阿布札比作為國際知名電影敘事樞紐的地位。阿布達比電影委員會已支持超過 180 部大型影視製作，包括《不可能的任務： 致命清算》(Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One)、《沙丘瀚戰：第二章》(Dune: Part Two)，以及《F1 電影》(F1: The Movie)。憑藉其無縫銜接的製作支援、先進的設施與多元的電影風格，阿布札比持續鞏固其作為全球頂尖電影製作基地之一的地位。

《非常盜 3》(Now You See Me: Now You Don’t) 現在全球電影院上映。

近日有疑似來自南京的中國網友翻牆發文貼了一張炸雞腿飯的照片，問台灣網友是不是台灣特色小吃，但文中使用「灣灣」一詞讓大批鄉民相當不爽。（圖翻攝自Threads）

中國小粉紅常用「灣灣」來稱呼台灣人，而且多帶貶抑語氣，因此有不少台灣網友對這種叫法相當感冒。近日有疑似來自南京的中國網友翻牆發文貼了一張炸雞腿飯的照片，問台灣網友是不是台灣特色小吃，雖然並不是什麼統戰文或叫囂文，但文中使用「灣灣」一詞讓大批鄉民相當不爽，紛紛留言開噴，還有人反過來叫原PO「陰京」，意外笑翻網友。

一名中國網友近日翻牆到Threads上貼出一張炸雞排飯照片，以簡體字PO文「問問灣灣這個算台灣特色小吃？炸雞腿飯，在南京排了兩個小時才吃到」。貼文曝光後湧入上千名網友留言，但大多數人的焦點根本不在美食照片上，而是針對原PO使用「灣灣」一字開砲，「台灣二字講不出來就別PO」、「我也都叫你們支支，不禮貌的程度跟敵意是差不多的」、「台灣就台灣，到底有什麼好灣灣的……叫你們共共，你們會比較開心？」、「支支，可以請你們做好你們支的美食嗎？不要死命拿台灣的食物蹭」、「支支合理的話，灣灣才合理，望支悉」。

還有鄉民神回覆：「這種陰陽怪氣的稱呼方式，你又來自南京……那我就叫你陰京吧！陰京，我跟你說，這不叫特色小吃，這等同於你們那邊的盒飯，溫飽用的」。其他網友看到後笑翻，「不小心笑出來」、「陰京……我喜歡」、「害我吃飯吃到一半差點噴出來」、「有料」、「我要笑瘋」。

媽祖超神的庇佑！彰化縣鹿港天后宮號稱全台灣最貴的光明燈，9年來都是由從事營造業的高女點走，她已表達明年要續點「財運亨通斗」的斗首，連續10年豪砸500萬元點燈原因，就是媽祖太神了！她今年多次投標都標不到工程，後來才發現這幾件工程全都出狀況，讓她超級感謝媽祖讓她閃過賠錢的黑洞。

鹿港天后宮管委會總幹事劉家汶表示，高女自從點燈以來，生意越做越大，事業也越做越好，讓她覺得這一切都是媽祖在保佑。但高女透露，今年生意只有年頭與年尾拿下2個標案，跟以往相比少了很多，讓她一度懷疑人生，暑假更是閒到可以環島與露營，後來才知道這是媽祖的神安排。

原來，高女沒有拿下的數個標案，後來全都因為各種原因停擺，如果她拿下標案，勢必資金也全都卡住了。也因為公司好幾個月都沒有標案可作，當強颱重創花蓮，剛好公司有閒置的重機具與人力，全都前往光復鄉救災。

當完成救災任務，高女兩度夢到媽祖，她決定專程到天后宮拜拜，冥冥之中她覺得收到了媽祖的令旗，回家後不久就接到電話，邀請該公司去投標，也隨即如願得標並簽約。年初的標案，工程順利完工並收到工程款。

劉家汶強調，高女認為媽祖有靈，在好運來時，保佑她賺大錢，當遭逢困頓低谷，又帶她閃過賠錢的坑坑洞洞，明年是續點第10年，高女決定要繼續點下去，繼續與媽祖結緣！

title: 麥玉珍要選台中市長  江和樹受不了：不是在選菜市場的市長餒！

content_text:
民眾黨立委麥玉珍近日數度放話要選台中市長，但黨主席黃國昌昨天（11/30）受訪時卻稱「沒聽過」，白營台中市黨部選擇冷處理，加上外界冷嘲熱諷，麥玉珍似乎不高興，今天（12/1）一早發文說「我要爭取參選台中市市長，為何不可？」對此，白營中市議員江和樹忍不住酸：「不是在選菜市場的市長餒！」

針對麥玉珍嚷嚷著說要選台中市長，江和樹週日就無奈表示她講話「很有趣」，地方黨部早就說沒有合適人選，就算真的要提名人選，也一定是黃國昌或柯文哲，請麥玉珍不要開這種玩笑。

週一江和樹上政論節目《頭家來開講》時又直言，「我一定是全力反對，因為這不能開玩笑，我們的主委就已經說我們沒有適合的人選，妳這個時候又說妳要選，妳怎麼不早點講？不早點在地方扎根？阿真的要選也不是不行，不是黃國昌就是柯文哲，不然來個黃珊珊也好，至少不會被其他人笑。」

而同台的前立委陳柏惟則稱，如果民眾黨提名麥玉珍，他就捐出5萬元，因為他樂見所謂第三勢力有隻母雞出來帶小雞，但江和樹馬上表示，他的想法跟陳柏惟一樣，但重點是母雞要是對的人，「這不是在選菜市場的市長餒！」

不過網友們紛紛調侃，「我替麥玉珍回答你，盧秀燕都能當市長了，憑什麼我不能？」、「自己人都知道她是什麼等級ㄏㄏ」、「勸江和樹少管閒事，全力支持麥玉珍參選」、「全力支持麥玉珍參選台中市長！」、「不管啦，這次我挺麥麥」、「很獨裁欸，黨內初選都還沒，江就直接說不會提名她啦」、「反之若連自己黨員都覺得不適任，那當初為什麼把她推上國會殿堂？真是爛」。

美國總統川普第1任期的國防部印太安全事務助理部長薛瑞福（見圖），與拜登政府時期的國防部印太安全事務助理部長瑞特納聯名投書華盛頓郵報，肯定台灣積極提升自我防衛能力。（中央社檔案照）

兩位前美國國防部（現稱戰爭部）印太安全事務助理部長1日投書華盛頓郵報，針對賴清德總統宣布追加國防預算，肯定台灣正以前所未有的認真與專注，積極提升自我防衛能力，而台灣不能也不應孤軍奮戰，美國必須繼續扮演核心支援角色，與台灣站在一起。

美國總統川普第1任期的國防部印太安全事務助理部長薛瑞福（Randall Schriver），與拜登政府時期的國防部印太安全事務助理部長瑞特納（Ely Ratner）在文中指出，華府常見的說法是台灣沒有認真看待自身防衛，支出太少、行動太慢且過度依賴他人，這種觀點甚至被用來合理化美國縮減對台安全支持，但這種「既定印象」正逐漸過時。

兩人指出，台灣在多年穩步增加軍費的基礎上，正大幅提升國防開支。依據新制定的常態及追加國防預算，總支出將超過國內生產毛額（GDP）的5％，其中「核心防衛」占3.3％，另有2.1％用於「防衛相關」項目（以北約標準計算）。

文章指出，只要妥善配置人力、訓練與武器，台灣就能有效嚇阻，甚至阻止中國侵略。新預算針對長期弱點，優先投資適合不對稱防衛的小型機動致命系統，包括無人機、網路化防空系統、機動火箭砲及反艦飛彈。這些投資將協助台灣營造美國印太司令帕帕羅（Samuel Paparo）所構想的台海「地獄景象」。

同時，台灣還必須應對中國人民解放軍的日常性威脅。中國艦機幾乎每天侵擾台灣周邊海域，已形成所謂的「新常態」，迫使台灣不僅投資支持不對稱防禦策略的系統，也必須維持可應對日常挑釁的傳統飛機、艦艇與感測器。

同樣重要的是，台灣也在投資國家韌性，打破中國的征服計畫基於台灣民眾會迅速屈服的假設，政府擬投入超過5億美元，加強網路安全、關鍵資源儲備及基礎設施保護。

兩人呼籲，立法院必須通過相關投資，國軍部隊也必須持續改革訓練、後勤與作戰方式。全社會韌性必須從口號落實為行動。

川普政府曾督促台北增加國防支出，但台灣不能也不應孤軍奮戰，美國必須繼續扮演核心支援角色，華府應該充分利用國會已撥款的台灣防衛經費，並與歐洲和亞洲合作夥伴共同探索更快交付武器裝備的創新方式。美國產業也可以與台灣企業合作，更大幅度地擴展跨太平洋生產能力。

薛瑞福和瑞特納強調，美國維持台海和平穩定，符合自身重大利益。更強大、更具韌性的台灣，不僅可以降低戰爭風險，也減少美軍遭受威脅的可能性。正如美國國防部長赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）所言：「我們的目標是防止戰爭，使其成本過高，讓和平成為唯一選項。我們將以強大的嚇阻盾牌達成此一目標。」而台灣正在打造這面盾牌，美國應該與台灣站在一起。

北市議員劉耀仁今天說，河堤國小舊校歌歌詞有「堂堂正正的中國人」，已製作新校歌，校長卻要求學生唱舊歌。台北市長蔣萬安說，不應對校歌政治審查，尊重各校自主程序。

台北市議會下午進行市政總質詢，民進黨市議員劉耀仁表示，蔣萬安自稱台灣人、中華民國國民、中華民國台北市長，為何中正區河堤國小的校歌歌詞內，還有「成為堂堂正正的中國人」字眼。

劉耀仁說，2 年前校務會議認為這段歌詞不合時宜，成立校歌修正小組，並讓家長會和教師會加入，還自籌款項製作新校歌「河堤之歌」，全校已唱誦 2 年多；但新任校長竟要求學生學唱舊校歌，推翻眾人苦心，應盡快處理。

台北市教育局長湯志民答詢表示，校歌原本是由學校自訂，後來透過校務會議再編寫「河堤之歌」新曲，若經校務會議通過是予以尊重。

劉耀仁追問，若北市各級學校校歌出現「要成為堂堂正正中國人」歌詞是否適當，且河堤國小校務會議都已通過，現任校長卻要推翻先前規定。

蔣萬安表示，尊重各個學校自主的決定，每校都有相關規定和程序自做決定，包括校歌、校徽和校名，同樣任何修訂也要尊重師生和歷屆校友的意見及看法，不應對學校校歌進行政治審查，尊重每個學校自主程序決定。

劉耀仁說，學校家長認為，應讓新校歌繼續唱，舊校歌就留在校史館和網站並存，但現階段不要再叫學生唱舊校歌，不要再荼毒學生，且也沒有召開新的校務會議更新決定。

湯志民表示，會尊重學校的決定，因有經過校務會議討論，有和學生及老師進行說明。

title: 默克高雄半導體科技旗艦園區落成　全球最大單一投資

content_text:
默克（ Merck ）高雄半導體科技旗艦園區今天落成，默克董事會副主席貝克曼（ Kai Beckmann ）表示，高雄半導體科技旗艦園區為默克電子科技事業體迄今全球最大單一投資，將滿足未來人工智慧（ AI ）應用需求。

橫跨醫藥健康、生命科學與電子科技3大領域的默克集團今天舉行高雄半導體科技旗艦園區啟用典禮。貝克曼強調，對於全球地緣政治風險，默克將展現軔性，推出台灣在地化生產的科技材料，除默克之外，也與台灣供應鏈一起成長。

他指出，默克將以更高效率且永續的方式推動材料創新，並進一步在台灣半導體生態系中扮演關鍵角色，強化台灣在全球半導體供應鏈中的策略地位。

台灣默克集團董事長李俊隆指出，台灣晶圓代工世界第一、封測也排名第一、 IC 設計全球第二，但上游材料仍相對不足，默克正積極扮演上游材料提供者的角色。

默克指出，高雄半導體科技旗艦園區占地 15 萬平方公尺，主要生產下世代邏輯、記憶體及 AI 晶片所需關鍵半導體材料。該園區將與默克既有的高雄一廠協同合作，落實半導體材料和設備在地化製造的策略，強化在地供應鏈韌性。

默克說明，位於南部科學園區高雄園區的「默克高雄半導體科技旗艦園區」第 1 階段廠區今天落成。此園區為默克全球首座大型半導體材料科技園區，過去5年總投入5億歐元（約新台幣 170 億元）打造，涵蓋 AI 應用所需關鍵材料技術，包括薄膜科技、特用氣體及配方材料等。

默克指出，園區的建置主要因應全球先進材料需求的快速攀升，並強化供應鏈在地化、可控性與韌性的迫切需求。

李俊隆表示，默克在台灣深耕超過 35 年，在地化的半導體材料解決方案將有效加速下一代晶片技術的創新，並滿足日益增長的 AI 晶片需求。透過默克高雄半導體材料園區的落成，期待與台灣半導體產業持續攜手共進，為全球 AI 布局注入更強大的創新能量。

他說，近年全球半導體對先進製程材料的需求快速飆升，國際供應鏈更頻繁面臨產能緊縮與跨國運輸的不確定性。為因應此挑戰，默克拓展在地化半導體材料供應，在高雄半導體科技旗艦園區導入多條關鍵的先進產線，將過去仰賴進口的薄膜材料、特用氣體與配方材料以在地製造方式供應。

默克說，上述材料將廣泛應用於沉積、蝕刻、清洗等製程，使客戶能更快速取得穩定產量與高品質材料，幫助提升台灣半導體供應鏈的韌性與靈活度，並支援台灣半導體在全球市場中的穩定供應地位；此外，將可為高雄創造超過 150 個高科技就業機會，帶動在地人才培育與產業發展。

默克指出，新園區總面積達 15 萬平方公尺，將分階段擴建與投產，以靈活應對技術節點升級需求，同時推動永續製造。默克不僅提升在台製造能力、擴展先進材料與技術布局，也加速全球創新，滿足日益增長的需求及嚴格品質標準提供支持，以實際行動促進台灣半導體產業的技術升級與提升全球競爭力。

title: 公車月台昏暗乘客跌倒骨折　中市府未盡管理責任須賠30萬

content_text:
邱姓男子去年 4 月間，在台鐵台中車站公車轉運中心，因踩空跌落車道骨折，邱男主張現場照明不足且月台標線不清，請求國賠，台中地院審理後認定有缺失，判賠 30 萬餘元，可上訴。

台中地方法院民事判決書指出，邱男於 2024 年 4 月 13 日下午 1 時許，在台鐵台中車站 1 樓公車轉運中心，自電梯步行至 C 月台與公車道連接處時，因踩空跌落車道，受有左橈骨遠端粉碎性骨折等傷害。

邱男主張，月台與車道間有 20 公分高低落差，現場燈光昏暗，且月台緣石黃色標線斑駁不清，又未設置警示標語，公共設施設置管理有欠缺，依國家賠償法提告請求醫藥費、工作損失及精神慰撫金等共計新台幣 54 萬 8039 元。

台中市政府交通局抗辯，當天事發時為下午 1 時，自然採光充足，且月台緣石標線不清情形，可清楚辨識落差。邱男是因為步出電梯後轉頭向右看，未注意前方路況才會跌倒，與公共設施設置或管理無因果關係。

台中地院審理後，法官認為，現場照明會同兩造及檢驗公司，於與事發相近時間至現場實測，平均照度未達設計標準。緣石標線部分，經勘驗現場及監視器畫面，標線已嚴重退色，幾乎與車道顏色融合難以辨識，且現場無高低落差之警示標語，致未能發揮警示功能。

法院審酌，管理機關未盡管理責任為肇事主因，應負 80 % 責任；原告未注意前方路況為次因，應負 20 %責任。全案 11 月 26 日宣判，台中市政府交通局應賠償邱男 30 萬 2351 元，可上訴。

title: 專攻地理空間情資訓練，美國新創公司獲得軍方 7.08 億美元大單

content_text:
在五角大廈積極導入 AI 的浪潮下，傳統軍工巨頭不再是唯一贏家，美國國家地理空間情報局近日宣布將一份總值達 7.08 億美元的 AI 訓練數據合約，頒給了一家總部位於華盛頓特區的新創公司 Enabled Intelligence。

這筆巨額合約不僅確立了數據標註（Data Labeling）在國防 AI 供應鏈中的核心地位，更顯示出美軍在軟體與演算法領域，正加速將資源投入給具備靈活技術的新創公司。

解決 AI 的「垃圾進，垃圾出」痛點美國國家地理空間情報局（National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, NGA） 的職責是處理來自間諜衛星、商用衛星以及無人機所拍攝的大量影像資料，隨著近年來感測器數量爆炸性增長，傳統人力判讀已難以負荷如此龐大的資料量，因此 NGA 急需強大的電腦視覺（Computer Vision）模型來識別諸如飛彈發射井、移動的部隊或異常的船艦活動等資訊。

由於 AI 模型能力取決於訓練資料的品質，而國防等級的數據不僅要精確，更需要高度保密，Enabled Intelligence 專攻於安全準確的數據標註，他們提供的服務包括對衛星圖像進行精密的物件標記和分類，以及為大型語言模型（LLM）進行微調。

根據合約內容，Enabled Intelligence 將為 NGA 提供地理空間情報（GEOINT）的 AI 訓練數據生成和管理服務，這代表未來美軍 AI 判讀衛星圖像的能力將取決於這家新創公司提供的教材。

獨特的人才庫：安全許可與神經多樣性NGA 選擇這家新創而非大型科技公司的原因在於數據安全性與標註品質。

現今許多矽谷科技公司為了降低成本，將數據標註工作外包給開發中國家，但 Enabled Intelligence 堅持所有數據處理都在美國本土進行，此外該公司員工組成中，有極高比例是退伍軍人以及神經多樣性（Neurodiverse）人士（如自閉症譜系障礙者）。

這類人才在圖像識別任務中，經常展現出極為優異專注力與模式識別能力，加上許多員工本身就具備美軍安全許可（Security Clearance），這讓 Enabled Intelligence 能夠直接處理機密等級的原始情資，直接解決 NGA 以往顧慮將機密數據交給普通 AI 公司的問題。

國防部「Replicator」計畫的延續效應這筆 7.08 億美元的大單也被視為美國國防部「複製者計畫」（Replicator Initiative）精神的延續，美軍正試圖打破由雷神、波音和洛克希德馬丁等傳統軍工大廠壟斷的局面，將更多資金注入能快速迭代軟體的新創體系。

Enabled Intelligence 的執行長在聲明中指出，這份合約將用於擴大其專門的標註團隊，並開發更先進的自動化工具來輔助人工標註，以應對 NGA 對數據處理速度的嚴苛要求。

在 AI 快速爆發的時代，數據就跟石油一樣重要，而高品質的標註數據則等同於提煉後的汽油，NGA 這次的大手筆投資證明，現代戰爭中決定勝負的將不只是飛彈的射程，而是演算法識別目標的速度與準確度。

對於一家新創公司而言，能拿下如此高額的 IDIQ（不定期交付/不確定數量）合約，無疑是向國防創投圈打了一劑強心針。

波蘭海軍新一代潛艦採購案塵埃落定，波蘭國防部正式宣布由瑞典紳寶集團的 A26 型潛艦勝出，原本呼聲極高的德國 212CD 和韓國 KSS-III 兩大方案確定出局。

專為波羅的海打造的「水下幽靈」為何波蘭最終選擇了瑞典？業界分析除了技術轉移的誘因外，戰場適應性是最大關鍵。

波羅的海（Baltic Sea）是一個環境極為特殊的戰區，平均水深淺、鹽度低且海底地形複雜，相較於韓國 KSS-III 這種排水量超過 3,000 噸，設計用在東海或渤海對抗北韓，甚至前往遠洋作戰的重型潛艦，瑞典紳寶考庫姆集團（Saab Kockums） 的 A26 原始設計就是為了在波羅的海這種淺海與群島環境中作戰而生。

Saab A26 布萊金厄級潛艦（Blekinge Class ）最核心的技術在於其 GHOST（Genuine HOlistic STealth，全方位匿蹤） 技術」，這不僅是塗上一層吸音塗料那麼簡單，A26 從船體結構、彈性安裝的機械底座到流體動力設計，都極度降低聲學訊號。

此外，該艦配備了升級版的史特林絕氣推進系統（Stirling AIP），使其能在水下潛伏數週而無需浮出水面充電，這對於在俄羅斯海軍眼皮底下的波羅的海執行任務至關重要。

獨特的「多任務派系入口」A26 另一個讓波蘭軍方心動的設計，是位於艦首的多任務入口（Multi Mission Portal），這個直徑約 1.5 公尺的特殊艙門，允許潛艦在潛航狀態下釋放與回收無人水下載具或特種部隊。

在現代海戰中，潛艦不再只是發射魚雷的載台，更是水下情報中心與特種作戰母艦，A26 的多任務設計賦予波蘭海軍更高的戰術彈性，能夠針對波羅的海底部天然氣管線、通訊電纜進行監控與防護，而這正好是烏俄戰爭後北溪天然氣管線被炸以來，北約國家最頭痛的安全問題。

擺脫蘇聯遺產，強化北約東翼波蘭海軍目前的潛艦部隊處於極度萎縮狀態，原本服役的前蘇聯製基洛級（Kilo-class）潛艦已屆退役年限，妥善率堪憂，這次的採購案預計將為波蘭帶來 3 至 4 艘現代化潛艦。

雖然南韓近年來橫掃波蘭的軍火市場，包括 K2 主力戰車、K9 自走砲與 FA-50 戰機等，但在潛艦領域，波蘭更傾向於歐洲方案。

選擇瑞典潛艦，不僅後勤補給線較短，也能與同樣使用瑞典潛艦技術的新加坡、以及瑞典海軍形成操作互通性。

隨著瑞典正式加入北約，波蘭這次的選擇將進一步整合波羅的海沿岸北約水下戰力，對俄羅斯波羅的海艦隊形成更嚴密的封鎖網。

雖然具體的合約金額與技術轉移細節尚未完全公開，但瑞典 A26 的入選，證明了在特定戰場環境下，最大最重型的武器不一定適合所有國家，對於瑞典國防工業而言，這也是繼澳洲柯林斯級潛艦案後，久違的重大出口勝利。

接下來值得關注的是，Saab 是否能按時交付首艦，畢竟 A26 項目在瑞典本國的開發過程中曾遭遇過延期，波蘭急需新潛艦填補戰力空窗期，時間將是其最大敵人。

title: 抗通膨無效 川普降物價承諾跳票

content_text:
美國總統川普以解決通貨膨脹為核心政見贏得去年十一月大選，自稱上任後要立刻降低美國物價。但外媒近期驗收川普物價承諾發現，相較約一年前，美國家庭開銷不減反增，食品雜貨、新車價格和電費齊漲，油價的降幅也沒達到川普承諾。

和四年前相比 普通家庭月花費增多

川普去年八月曾在記者會擺出多項雜貨，聲稱上任首日就要降低物價，但美國有線電視新聞網（ＣＮＮ）報導，穆迪分析公司基於最新通膨報告指出，美國普通家庭今年九月購買相同貨物和服務的支出，比去年九月增加二○八美元；比起二○二一年初，普通家庭每月支出增加一○四三美元，即得多花約一千美元才能購買與四年前等量的商品。

另據英國廣播公司（ＢＢＣ）報導，官方數據顯示，截至九月的十二個月間，食品雜貨價格上漲百分之二點七。特定種類商品漲幅尤其顯著：咖啡漲一成八九，牛絞肉漲一成二九，香蕉漲百分之六點九。自川普一月接替前總統拜登就任以來，除了四月記錄到下降，食品雜貨每個月都漲價。

隨著川普解決通膨的政見落空，選民已沒耐心。十一月的美國紐約市長選舉，由關注生活成本問題的民主黨人曼達尼勝出。(法新社)

川普關稅政策 學者批拉升美國物價

食品經濟學專家奧蒂嘉說，川普對食品價格控制力很有限，尤其短期內。他說，川普的關稅正推高特定食品價格，比如美國咖啡消費量三分之一來自巴西，但川普七月底簽行政命令宣布對巴西課百分之五十關稅；此外川普打擊非法移民，但估計多達四成農場工人是無證移民，農民和企業為吸引更多勞力不得不加薪，也可能影響物價。

畢馬威會計師事務所首席經濟學家史萬克同樣認為，關稅和移民政策的改變導致成本上升，「這些變化正開始作為通膨壓力顯現」，但她也提到天氣事件等因素的影響，咖啡生長季狀況很佳，再加上美國對巴西、哥倫比亞等產地的關稅，情況就更惡化。

一位白宮官員向ＢＢＣ說，咖啡漲價是全球現象，川普無法操控南美洲天氣。另外，咖啡價格追蹤數據也顯示全球咖啡價格已上漲，二月達到高峰，但正在回落。

儘管食品雜貨整體漲價，並非各類商品都漲。川普一月回任時，一打「大雞蛋」是四點九三美元，禽流感爆發後曾在三月飆到六點二三美元的紀錄高點，其後降至三點四九美元。十二個月間降價的商品，還包括奶油和人造奶油降百分之二、冰淇淋與冷凍蔬菜降百分之○點七。

緩解通膨要求 多數企業恐拒絕配合

白宮發言人德賽說，川普就供給面的政策正緩解拜登的通膨危機。另外，川普十一月十四日簽行政命令，調降咖啡、牛肉等農產品關稅，以減輕生活成本。但ＣＮＮ引述康乃爾大學教授蘇斯金德說，多數企業一旦漲價通常就降不回去；即使關稅下調，星巴克等大型連鎖店仍可能堅持不降，因為漲價並未打退其核心客群。

電價砍半願景 壓不下住宅電價高漲

川普去年八月也承諾大幅降低電費，聲稱回任一年半內要將能源和電價砍半，但實際卻上漲。根據美國能源情報署，最新數據顯示，美國住宅平均電價達到每度（kWh）十七點六二美分，高於一月的每度十五點九四美分。

史丹福大學普雷科特能源研究所教授史威尼說，川普喊電價砍半，技術上不可能辦到。史威尼將電價上漲歸因於需求和供給兩方面，指出目前用電需求激增，主要受資料中心驅動；此外，削減再生能源補貼，對輸美鋼鐵加關稅、增加新造發電機成本，也拉高電價。

新車平均售價 破天荒突破五萬美元

車價方面，美汽車估價與研究公司「凱利藍皮書」指出，新車平均價格九月首次突破五萬美元，高於一月的四萬八二八三美元。汽車市場研究機構「考克斯汽車」的基廷說，車價通常年漲百分之二至三，現在新車價格每年約漲百分之四，關稅至少貢獻一個百分點漲幅。

至於油價，川普競選承諾是降到低於每加侖二美元。美汽車協會指出，川普回任白宮當天，普通汽油平均價格為每加侖三點一二五美元，十一月初雖降至三點○七九美元，但距離承諾尚遠。

對此，一位白宮官員援引油價追蹤網站，表示全美平均油價為每加侖二點九七美元；並稱川普迅速釋放美國能源潛力，使美國家庭再次負擔得起汽油。

美國總統川普應對高昂生活成本碰上問題，可能讓選民感覺回到前總統拜登時期。四年多前的拜登說高通膨只是暫時，就像如今川普說通膨很快會降，但兩人都找不到速效藥。美媒指出，有跡象顯示隨著川普解決通膨的政見落空，選民已沒了耐心。

美聯社報導，由於擔心生活成本高漲，選民在十一月四日的維吉尼亞、新澤西州長和紐約市長選舉力挺民主黨人。川普只得拋出若干尚未成形的構想來減輕民眾財務壓力。他提出每人發兩千美元「關稅紅利」，並說可能延長卅年期房貸期限至五十年，還調降咖啡、香蕉等產品關稅，坦言這些關稅在某些情況可能增加物價。

拜登政府的白宮國家經濟會議前副主席拉馬莫提說，上述措施大抵是噱頭，對通膨不太可能有太大影響。他指出，川普政府目前處境非常艱難，已讓人覺得不夠重視生活成本問題，現有工具也不太可能短期內幫助到民眾。

拜登二○二一年一月接替川普時，美國正設法從新冠疫情回彈。拜登同年三月簽署規模一點九兆美元紓困包裹，當時就有人批評其規模過大可能導致物價上漲。隨著經濟重啟，晶片、電器、汽車等商品短缺，塞港也造成供應鏈問題。二○二二年俄烏開戰，同年六月消費者物價的增長，達到四十年來最高。

美聯社與美國民意研究所公共事務研究中心的民調顯示，二○二三年八月僅三成六美國成年人認可拜登處理經濟的方式。

如今在通膨問題，川普最大敵人可能是自己。共和黨人過去主張拜登政策加劇通貨膨脹，現在民主黨用同樣論調攻擊川普。

生活成本上漲 民眾批貿易政策紊亂

民主黨陣營的論點是，川普的關稅成本正以物價上漲的形式轉嫁美國消費者；川普還取消若干潔淨能源計畫，新的電力來源將減少，同時電費帳單變貴；川普也大規模驅逐非法移民，使得移民勞工占比偏高的建築業蓋房成本增加。

幾位拜登政府的前官員指稱，川普一月回任之際美國經濟成長強勁，就業市場穩健，通貨膨脹率降到接近歷史低點，川普卻翻轉這些趨勢。

拜登的高階顧問、曾經在歐巴馬與柯林頓政府擔任白宮國家經濟會議主席的斯佩林表示，值得注意的是，許多美國人都留意到川普的貿易政策，並將物價趨勢的轉變正確地歸因於紊亂貿易政策，「他作繭自縛」。

海鯤號潛艦日前連兩天出海，台船宣稱已經完成浮航測試科目，但隨即被媒體爆料，該艦的錨機故障，出海時根本沒有裝上船錨，罔顧航行安全。海軍參謀長邱俊榮昨在立院表示，估計錨機可於本月中完成調校裝回。

國民黨立委徐巧芯、馬文君質疑，為何不等到錨裝回，全船機件都妥善的情況下再出海？是否為掩飾跳票，硬要在十一月出海？國防部長顧立雄說，原本進度應為十一月完成所有海測，現在已做不到，沒有政治考量。

邱俊榮說，潛艦的錨只是在狹窄水域時的備便手段，測試當日該艦的主備用系統都正常，周邊也有嚴密安排。徐巧芯說，台船說軍艦無須適用船舶法「必須有錨」規定，但軍艦應比民間船舶有更嚴標準，不該以此為理由，否則未來海鯤艦完成後，即使錨機壞了也可以開出去？

徐巧芯又問，海鯤艦少了錨機與錨具，重量、重心、浮心、配重等有無影響？邱俊榮說，配重會稍做調整，但影響很低。徐巧芯說，顯然有些隨艦出海的人認為，自己生命安全不被當一回事，才會向媒體爆料。海鯤艦未來要擔負作戰任務，測試應該高標準高規格，國防部別幫忙台船「洗地」。

顧立雄解釋，每次測試都會評估，認定安全才會出航；船錨在一般潛航不會使用，因此認為錨具在這次測試中不是必要條件；未來裝回之後，會利用浮航測試時，進行下錨、回收的動作。

徐巧芯問，預估何時裝回？邱俊榮說，預計十二月中之後。徐巧芯再質疑，這很明顯是為了不跳票，硬要在十一月出航。顧立雄反駁，原訂「十一月完成海測」已經做不到，絕對沒有政治性考量。

馬文君說，錨是船舶失去動力等緊急狀況時，最後的煞車裝置，何不調校完成再測試？邱俊榮說，軍艦是軍規，安全措施比民船更多，錨只是備援裝備。馬文君不以為然表示，部長都說未來要繼續做收放錨測試，代表是重要的，何不等裝回再測試？國防部作為業主，應比台船更審慎，「除非是你們下令」。

彭博一日以「中國正準備一分烏克蘭式台灣提案？」為題，發表專欄作家瓦斯瓦尼評論指出，北京正從川普政府提給俄羅斯的烏克蘭和平計畫汲取經驗，觀察華府願意為達成協議付出多少，以及是否對莫斯科讓步。瓦斯瓦尼並引述澳洲退役將官近期的警告，稱中共可能私下向川普政府提出「廿八點台灣方案」。

瓦斯瓦尼說，中國國家主席習近平正利用華府對台訊號日益混亂之際，強化宣示統一台灣目標，讓台灣處境更加危險。瓦斯瓦尼也引述澳洲退役陸軍少將瑞恩十一月廿三日的撰文警告，中國可能趁機提出自己的方案，習近平傾向在不動武情況下掌控台灣，「我們可能會看到中共向川普政府提出一分廿八點台灣方案，不論是私下祕密進行或公開」。

該文章提到，近期正值中日因「台灣有事」論關係緊張之際，川普先後與習近平和日本首相高市早苗通話，雖然川普公開發言未提及台灣，中方則重點強調習近平對「台灣回歸」的立場；中方並警告上周穿越台灣海峽的紐西蘭軍艦「不要製造麻煩」。北京種種動作可視為廣泛外交攻勢的一環。

瓦斯瓦尼也提到台灣確實有理由緊張，賴清德總統也宣布新增四百億美元國防預算，但可能在國會受阻。她認為，台北必須加大力度確保無人機、飛彈、機動發射系統與韌性指揮系統預算到位，並加強民防演習與反制中國認知作戰。

此外，美國國會「美中經濟暨安全審查委員會」最新報告指出，中國已提升攻台能力，可能在幾乎沒有預警的情況下發動封鎖或攻擊；中國會依受眾調整訊息，對外利用英語宣傳淡化緊張，國內敘事則日益將台灣的「挑釁」描繪為行動理由。同時，解放軍仍在推動現代化並縮小與美軍的差距。

瓦斯瓦尼指出，華府在亞洲的盟友包括日本、澳洲、南韓與菲律賓，必須深化協調，把防衛台灣視為區域安全核心。即使可能惹惱中國，盟友持續通過台灣海峽，將有助於重新凸顯國際法的重要性，「川普的烏克蘭計畫或許看似與台灣局勢相距甚遠，但在北京眼中，這是一個可乘之機。」

瓦斯瓦尼是彭博專欄作家，負責撰寫亞洲政治議題，特別聚焦中國。

對於中共可能向川普政府提出「廿八點台灣方案」，淡江大學兩岸關係研究中心主任張五岳說，他認為可信度不高，俄烏開戰以來，中方從不認為烏克蘭問題可類比台灣問題，且烏克蘭問題有美國、歐盟的介入，但中方一定認為台灣問題屬於中國內部事務，怎麼可能會允許美國、日本或其他國家公開介入台灣問題。大陸資深涉台學者包承柯表示，「台灣問題屬中國內部事務」，與烏克蘭局勢性質不同，也不涉領土交換。

張五岳說，中方當然清楚，美國仍然是解決台灣問題的關鍵性因素，中共會採取的做法是，要求美方從「不支持台獨」到明確「反對台獨」，不要對台獨散發出錯誤訊息，不要讓台灣以武謀獨、以美謀獨；並促使美方「支持兩岸和平統一」，在拜登時期，習近平也提過。

張五岳說，大陸現在在國際場域要求各國支持一中，但大陸絕不可能把台灣問題的解決方案，拿來跟國際社會進行交涉或做為談判標的；大陸在兩岸問題更多強調「操之在己」，根據「新時代黨解決台灣問題的總體方略」解決台灣問題是要為中國式現代化，為國家發展、為民族偉大復興服務。

日相高市早苗「台灣有事」引發中日關係緊張，張五岳說，北京反應如此強烈，主因是川普在台灣問題保持戰略模糊，反而高市給出明確表態，擔心對其他國家形成示範效應；至於北京舉措能否防止擴散效應，促使其他國家自制，仍有待觀察。

包承柯說，烏克蘭與俄羅斯是獨立國家，川普和平方案中涉領土交換與軍隊撤退；台灣問題大陸始終認為台灣是中國的一部分，不存在領土交換的可能性，兩者不能等量齊觀。

台美關稅談判進入最後階段，對於我方爭取調降對等關稅不疊加、二三二條款優惠待遇、採「台灣模式」投資美國等三目標能否達陣？行政院經貿談判辦公室總談判代表楊珍妮昨表示「有信心」。針對關稅調降且不疊加，楊珍妮說，「機率非常高」。

立法院經濟委員會昨邀請國發會主委葉俊顯、經濟部長龔明鑫、楊珍妮等官員針對「台美關稅協議之談判方針、進度、爭議事項、雙方可能承諾及台灣產業之影響評估」專案報告。楊珍妮指出，將以「台灣模式」和美方洽談供應鏈合作，並爭取調降對等關稅且不疊加，只要達成初步共識，應該會有第六次實體談判，會努力看看今年底是否能達成；此外，外傳我方將協助訓練美國勞工，換取美方降低關稅，楊珍妮說，這不在談判條件之中。

朝野立委關切台美談判進度及可能結果。楊珍妮表示，自四月談判以來，美方肯定我方務實態度，談判現在是「正面發展」。另有立委質詢，我國是否爭取對等關稅降至百分之十五，楊珍妮回應，「稅率往下調降是目標，（百分之十五）這也是我們的目標」。

楊珍妮指出，台灣談判團隊將對等關稅與二三二條款一起談，一定會爭取對等關稅稅率調降且不疊加。國民黨立委謝衣鳯質詢，達陣機率有多高？楊珍妮說，「機率非常高」。

至於台美是否會有第六次實體談判？楊珍妮表示，第五次實體談判已於九月底、十月初舉行，因二三二條款牽涉的供應鏈是非常複雜議題，雙方正進行文書往來；只要達成初步共識，應會有第六次實體談判。談判結果何時出爐？楊珍妮表示，努力看看今年底是否能達成，但談判進展取決於雙方。

據了解，台美關稅談判進度正在進行文件中的文字內容確認，對於關稅最終結果時程落在何時，由於年底恰逢耶誕節及新年，進入美國的長假期間，因此目前正在加速處理相關文件中，若樂觀一點推估，有望可在月中就有結果出爐。

台美關稅談判結束後，結果仍須經過國會審查，民進黨立委邱志偉、國民黨立委葉元之關切屆時國會不接受談判結果，甚至退回協議文本，政府要如何因應？楊珍妮說，希望不會發生此事，因為美國是台灣重要經貿夥伴，但內部會進行沙盤推演。她也說，美方要台灣執行，才會給優惠性待遇。

至於主責談判的行政院副院長鄭麗君上周末出席廿六日的「工商早餐會」，行政院長卓榮泰當時稱鄭「大概又去談判了」，引發聯想。據透露，鄭麗君人尚在國內處理談判事務，包括與各部會對接、確認談判文件等。

title: 受美關稅影響 無薪假又變多 上月底增697人

content_text:
勞動部昨公布最新減班休息（無薪假）統計，實施無薪假事業單位計四五六家，實施人數九一五三人。比起上一期增加廿一家，人數增加六九七人。主要增加原因，是有三家通報無薪假企業規模較大，三家皆超過一五○人，分別是機械設備製造業、金屬製品製造業、民生工業，通報無薪假理由皆是受美國關稅影響、訂單減少所致。

勞動部勞動條件及就業平等司長黃琦雅表示，此次通報無薪假的四五六家企業中，製造業仍是大宗，共計有三七六家、八六一九人，占了九成四。其中以金屬機電業占最多，占了三百家、六四○四人。

無薪假人數在十一月初下降，但中旬又增加，這次增幅更明顯。黃琦雅表示，此次無薪假人數和家數都增加的主因，是因為三家通報無薪假企業的員工人數都超過一五○人。

此外，此次共有十九家企業，減班休息屆期後未接獲通報或提前終止，共計二一五名員工恢復原本工時。而此次通報無薪假的企業，受美國關稅影響的有三六九家、人數八一八六人，有七成二企業為適用僱用安定措施的產業，有七○三四人、接近八成員工可以申請薪資差額補貼。也就是說，員工在雇主發放不低於最低工資的薪資保障外，另外還有勞動部發給七成薪資差額補貼，支持勞工生活。

勞動部強調，已推出安定就業措施，確保「每一位」通報減班休息的勞工，都有管道申請津貼或補貼，不被漏接。若是通報減班休息的勞工朋友，非屬僱用安定措施之業別，也有訓練津貼可以申請。勞工利用減班的時間參加勞動部訓練，就可以請領每小時一九○元的訓練津貼，在薪資差額內，最高每月可領一萬七二一○元。

title: 民團發起廢止憲訴法及選罷法公投 藍批輸不起

content_text:
有民團不滿藍白修正憲法訴訟法「癱瘓憲法法庭」，發起廢止憲訴法及選罷法修法的公投連署，預計今天與民進黨首度會商。國民黨立委王鴻薇昨批評，這根本是民進黨輸不起的「大罷免2.0」成真；民眾黨立法院黨團質疑，民進黨為何又躲在民團後面？民進黨團則說，支持「更大的民意」，直接民權是最好的監督與制衡。

民進黨秘書長徐國勇昨天稱，民進黨正審慎考慮提出公投案，也不排除與民團朝共同目標努力，但民團提出「憲訴法」公投若現在成案，按照立法院日前通過的「公投綁大選」修法，主管機關應於公民投票案公告成立後三個月起至六個月內舉行公民投票，根本「綁不到大選」，必須在大選之前就要投一次公投。

徐國勇也批評，未來台灣可能隨時都在投票，對台灣毫無意義。

王鴻薇感嘆，民進黨上周主張以「更大的民意」發起公投，也就是發動輸不起的「大罷免2.0：大公投大成功」；如今一番話等於宣告了民進黨擾民噩夢再臨，但上次大罷免結果證實，人民真受夠了這種政治惡鬥行徑。

王鴻薇批評，民進黨早已「病入膏肓」，「大罷免治百病」似乎藥效有限，而且「還會定期復發」，這群披著公民外皮的民進黨側翼，又再次對著國人好不容易安靜的生活伸出魔爪。

民眾黨團副總召張啓楷說，公投是人民的權利，任何人都可以發起，這也不是什麼壞事，只不過如同過去發動大罷免，民進黨為何都要躲在民團後面？這麼害怕就正大光明出來講。

張啓楷強調，為了避免出現幽靈連署，在野黨聯手修正選罷法，這也是民進黨過去的主張，至於憲法訴訟法則是要跟國際接軌，「民進黨為什麼這麼怕憲法訴訟法？民進黨為什麼這麼害怕罷免連署須檢附身分證影本？」

民進黨團幹事長鍾佳濱指出，民主除了代議制度，也需要公民參與，直接民權是對代議制度最好的監督跟制衡，支持「更大的民意」；民進黨政策會執行長、立委吳思瑤說，執政黨審慎研議是否協助民團，以及許多違憲亂政的法案是否訴諸民主救濟。

title: 顧立雄：全面檢討「戰鬥部隊」定義

content_text:
藍營立委提出志願役官兵加給調為三萬元，賴清德總統今年三月拋出官兵「戰鬥部隊加給」從每月三千至五千元，增為七千至一萬二千元，許多「非戰鬥部隊」單位人員大反彈或出現「升職反而減薪」怪象。國防部長顧立雄昨天表示，現代戰爭已朝聯合作戰型態發展，必須全面性檢討「戰鬥部隊」定義。

顧立雄未明說將如何調整，但他答覆民進黨立委王定宇、國民黨立委謝衣鳯時提及，目前戰鬥部隊定義為連級以下，但現代作戰以聯兵營為單位，裝甲旅也是戰鬥部隊，會再與行政院討論定義。

國民黨立委徐巧芯上會期提出修正軍人待遇條例，將每月一萬元「志願役加給」提升至三萬元，以改善缺員窘境。國防部隨即安排賴總統視導駐松山機場陸戰隊，賴當場宣布志願役加給調到一萬三千至一萬五千元；戰鬥部隊加給，第一類「戰鬥部隊」五千增至一萬二千元，第二類「戰鬥支援部隊」三千增至七千元。

朝野競相為國軍加薪，國民黨團持續推動修法，六月透過表決完成三讀。然而，政院八月底提出明年度中央政府總預算案，卻拒編新法所需的加薪金額，表示將聲請釋憲。

由於戰鬥部隊加給的發放被限定連級以下，調升後出現不少怪現象，例如營級參謀軍官薪水，比不過剛下部隊的排長；另外，空軍地勤人員可領，陸海軍航空部隊地勤人員卻被排除，隨著數字落差加劇，軍中不平聲浪更高。

民進黨立委羅美玲質詢，目前可領兩類戰鬥加給的官兵約七萬五千人，占總人數一半，是否誘因足夠？顧立雄說，各職務不應齊頭平等，國防部將研擬調整同職務卻不同待遇的情況，並整體規畫戰鬥部隊定義。

軍事專家揭仲說，當初馬政府研擬發放戰鬥部隊加給，國防部主張軍中除機關單位以外的「部隊」官兵都應發放，但因主計總處等單位異議，只好發明「連級以下才發」規定，出現許多執行問題；如今國防部方向是正確的。

逾兆國防預算說明不足 藍委：每字價值16億元

聯合報昨報導，八年一點二五兆元國防特別預算將增購一營愛國者飛彈，並提升現役九個飛彈連等，顧立雄昨表示，只要能滿足國防部要求的各項事宜，都是未來籌購的潛在項目。國民黨立委陳永康質疑，國防部說明嚴重不足，以目前文字篇幅，相較於預算規模，等於每個字價值新台幣十六億元。

前副總統呂秀蓮說，以時間推估，賴總統投書華盛頓郵報是在國安會議前完成，也就是先向美國人交代，再向台灣人民報告；為何歷任總統常作出逾越任期的決策和預算？

對於在野質疑要開戰，民進黨秘書長徐國勇昨反駁「不能上完廁所才買衛生紙」。國民黨立委許宇甄說，如何讓兩岸持續和平交流，「讓馬桶趕快通暢，比較重要」。

content_text:
民進黨布局明年縣市長選戰，各界關注內閣是否改組因應選舉。民進黨秘書長徐國勇昨天回應稱「想太多」，且內閣改組是總統職權，不便評論；他透露，黨內民調顯示，三周前總統信任度已黃金交叉，震傳媒民調包括總統信任度、執政滿意度都黃金交叉，「我們信心滿滿」，在此情況下，沒想過內閣改組問題。

民進黨中執會已通過兩波縣市長提名人選，包括台中市何欣純、嘉義市王美惠、台東縣陳瑩、宜蘭縣林國漳、新北市蘇巧慧、苗栗縣陳品安等；預計十二月公布包含基隆市、彰化縣與雲林縣等地名單；至於台北市與桃園市兩大艱困選區，將留待最後討論與協調。

爭取代表民進黨參選台北市長的吳怡農日前發布民調，稱他支持度僅次民進黨立委王世堅；徐國勇說，台北市屬徵召區，不會只用民調決定，會綜合評估考量，「我們台北市的可選人才非常多」、「我們不缺人才」。

徐國勇說，自己上任以來從未做過任何一個區域候選人的民調，至於其他候選人自己做的，雖不予置評，「我們聽到了」，選對會成員也聽到了。

此外，前總統陳水扁稱賴清德總統能在二○二六年翻轉藍綠版圖，徐國勇說，非常欽佩陳前總統的政治敏感度，民進黨尊重這項講法。

民進黨將提名立委王美惠參選嘉義市長，地方盛傳，若王美惠拿下市長，現任市長黃敏惠會回鍋挑戰下屆立委。徐國勇說，王美惠選市長，民進黨有非常高的期待與把握，因為王競選立委時非常高票，而嘉義市的立委跟市長票源一樣；至於立委補選，民進黨一樣有準備。

在野黨擬邀賴清德總統赴立法院國情報告，國民黨立法院黨團今早黨團大會將決定是否提案及形式，民眾黨立法院黨團也將再開會討論。有國民黨立委表示，今早就會提議「即問即答」或至少「一問一答」；民眾黨團也說，當然希望「即問即答」，也可考慮讓賴總統「依序即時回答」，國家元首面對國防預算這麼重要的事情，本來就該講清楚。

在野主張「一問一答」國情報告，遭民進黨立委批違憲，在野黨也思考「多問多答」，不過立院人士直言，目前無論國民黨團、民眾黨團都還沒有定案，但大家一致認為重點是賴總統要回答，否則來立院作秀沒有意義；民進黨立法院黨團表示，總統有表達空間，但一定要依法合憲。

國民黨備戰二○二六年地方選舉，副主席蕭旭岑昨天表示，各縣市協調整合已啟動且加速進行，黨主席鄭麗文上任後，沒有任何耽擱。他也說，賴清德總統將繼續打「抗中牌」，藉此分化在野黨，藍營一定要站穩腳步、堅定立場。

蕭旭岑昨接受廣播專訪時指出，選舉有些協調只能做不能說，重點是藍白有公開透明的機制，較能讓一般民眾了解，雙方支持者也較能接受；相信兩黨秘書長已針對宜蘭縣、嘉義市等地的參選人進行討論，同時，彰化縣對國民黨來說是很重要的選區，應很快就會展開整合，大家拭目以待。

至於民眾黨希望明年三月前談妥整合，蕭旭岑認為，兩黨會在同樣的想法、目標上整合與協調。

此外，前總統陳水扁提及，賴總統是「最會打破魔咒的總統」，有望在明年地方選舉寫下佳績、翻轉藍綠版圖。蕭旭岑說，民進黨只有「抗中保台」一張牌可打，兩次大罷免被完封，還是搞一樣的抗中牌，一定會從二○二六打到二○二八。

蕭旭岑說，雖然很多輿論批評，抗中牌對民眾已麻木無感了，賴清德還是要繼續推，因為他要不斷用抗中牌去刺激、希望能分化在野黨；因此，民進黨不斷在立法院搞事，從軍購到各項議題，去逼在野黨表態是不是愛台灣。

蕭旭岑呼籲，國民黨要站穩腳步和立場，堅守中華民國的兩岸和平派、反對步入戰爭，綠營就是違反中華民國憲法、要引戰把台海拖入戰火派，這會是直接的對決。

至於台中市長盧秀燕先前因非洲豬瘟疫情成關注焦點，據最新民調，盧秀燕支持度仍高達六成二。國民黨立委廖偉翔認為，盧秀燕在面臨新光三越氣爆、關稅衝擊、豬瘟疫情的多重壓力，仍獲得高度支持，是因市府遇問題不閃躲、不卸責的表現，也顯示市民是長期在打分數，只要顧好市政，就是對二○二六選戰的最強助攻。

通緝犯羅天義八月廿二日在高雄遭狙殺，槍手（圖紅圈）犯案後小跑步至停車場駕權利車逃逸。警方事後查出槍手身分楊云豪，已偷渡出境，檢方發布通緝。圖／讀者提供通緝犯羅天義八月間在高雄左營區豪宅外遛狗，遭人狙殺十六槍斃命；槍手案發後駕權利車逃逸，燒車滅證，並由共犯接應藏匿，警方雖迅速帶回多名涉案相關人，查出槍手是設籍新北市男子楊云豪，但仍來不及逮人，楊案發後約一周從屏東東港偷渡出境，疑逃至大陸或柬埔寨。檢方上月廿八日依殺人罪嫌發布通緝。

五十一歲羅天義是詐欺和竊盜通緝犯，八月廿二日上午近七時在高雄文學路豪宅外遛比特犬時，一名黑衣男堵住去路，羅往距離卅公尺住家逃，槍子從背後朝他連開十六槍，羅仰躺家門口喪命。

案發後警方以車追人，發現槍手行凶後駕權利車撞壞停車場柵欄，逃往橋頭區無監視器的甲典街和田中路偏僻處，將作案槍械連同轎車一併燒毀，隨後消失。

警方調閱數百支監視器，發現槍手燒車前變裝，燒車後攀牆入高雄大學，再走出校門口攔計程車到指定地點搭接應車逃逸。警方從權利車開始追查，陸續拘提、帶回逾卅人，從線索拼湊出槍手是新北市男子楊云豪。

楊犯案後由幕後藏鏡人安排北上躲風頭，警方一度掌握他藏匿新竹，但帶隊攻堅時楊男又早一步逃往屏東；兩天後也就是案發後一周，楊男在東港搭小琉球籍漁船偷渡出海，警方追到東港時，已晚了一步。

警方發現，整起殺人計畫縝密，楊和接應者每一小段路就換車、頻設斷點，接應車甚至都沒去加油站加油，避免被監視器錄到影像，專案小組雖每天開會往上追，還是晚了一步。

槍擊命案三個多月，警方陸續拘提、帶回逾卅人，約七名外圍涉案者被收押，其餘包括協助楊男偷渡船長，負責開車載人、買賣車關係人等均獲交保或請回，檢方曾對部分涉案人提抗告，都被法院以證據力薄弱駁回。橋頭地檢署上月廿八日依殺人罪嫌對楊男發布通緝。

被狙殺喪命的通緝犯羅天義，曾以ＡＢ車假車禍詐領保險金，也曾涉助屏東毒梟以黃鰭鮪魚藏毒；外傳羅男遭槍殺和中部毒梟有關，警方未證實；但專案小組成員認為，殺人計畫分工如此細膩，牽涉毒品利益糾葛的可能性很高。

羅男十五年前曾參與高雄前鎮區里長選舉，因散發對手女里長警官丈夫涉案，遭控違反選罷法，判四月徒刑。他另涉多項詐欺案，十一年前開公司，租大貨車和員工及李姓妻舅另租兩輛未掛牌哈雷重機，製造假車禍詐領卅六萬餘元保險金；羅也曾與同夥利用ＡＢ車手法製造假車禍詐領保險金，被判刑兩年，相關詐欺案件均還在法院審理中。

另二○一五年屏東毒梟方偉展將安非他命毒品藏在五十五條黃鰭鮪魚腹，由羅男和妻子去日本接應，毒品在高雄港被調查局攔截，方男投案被判廿年六月，羅逃亡遭通緝後落網，仍在審理。

羅男遭槍殺身亡後，警方調查其身家背景及金流，發現羅曾和人有百萬債務糾紛，羅是債主，欠債的是高雄港務警察總隊一名女警，她積欠九名債權人共七百餘萬元，羅是其中之一；因女警聲請更生，羅的百萬欠款以卅五萬餘元還清。

一名專案小組成員說，羅男無其他財務糾紛，遭槍手光天化日十六槍奪命，身體至少五處彈，均是要害；槍手層層防堵、設斷點，背後還有人資助偷渡，應和毒品利益脫不了關係。

據了解，羅遭槍殺在高雄透天豪宅住處外，該處實價登錄資料房價一坪約廿九點六萬，整棟透天豪宅要價數千萬元；羅平時躲在四樓加蓋，當地警方事前完全不知轄區躲藏這號人物。

通緝犯羅天義遭槍殺身亡，槍手楊云豪年僅廿七歲，混跡新北三重一帶，有毒品、妨害自由、詐欺等前科；警方認為，楊掌握死者生活作息，駕權利車犯案，埋伏狙殺，近距離朝頭等致命部位開槍奪命，再燒車毀槍、設斷點偷渡出境，作案手法與台南市區漁會前理事長林士傑命案雷同。

台南市區漁會前理事長林士傑，二○二四年七月八日在住處前遭槍殺身亡，槍手犯案後開車逃往台南市偏僻處「連車帶槍」燒毀，接著換車逃亡，又在高雄市偏僻處棄車潑灑鹽酸，再騎機車逃往屏東縣東港鎮。

專案小組經過多方追查，也認定槍手搭船偷渡出海。道上傳言槍手疑為屏東籍年僅廿餘歲的明仁會成員，但警方未證實。

林士傑案和羅天義兩案，槍手犯案手法幾乎如出一轍，均是年輕槍手埋伏行凶，林士傑外出跑步、羅天義則是外出遛狗，槍手都精準掌握二人生活作息，作案後燒車、燒槍滅證滅跡，再由多名共犯接應，都從東港搭船偷渡境外，過程中均製造層層斷點，拖延警方追查。

專案小組分析，槍手事先均勘查地形地物，掌握監視器位置，利用權利車「死轉手」優勢，並使用境外手機門號等手法，共犯之間有些甚至互不認識，不知對方身分，宛如「詐團分工」；即便警方最後查出槍手身分，但凶嫌都已潛逃出境。這類手法幾乎已成近年黑幫執行狙殺對象的「ＳＯＰ」。

資深刑警指出，從這些案件研判，國內應有專門培養「殺手」的集團，再以「賞金獵人」方式執行殺人計畫，槍手都朝致命部位狙殺「直取性命」，事後偷渡海外；這種「無縫接軌」犯案，追查十分困難，恐成檢警重大挑戰。

通緝犯羅天義今年八月在高雄遛狗時遭槍殺，槍手疑已偷渡大陸或柬埔寨。據了解，案發不久刑事局即依專案小組提供資料，洽請東南亞等相關國家協查，尚無具體進展；不少警官憂心，兩岸關係持續惡化，台灣外交處境弱勢，跨境警察合作愈趨艱難。

警方調查，近年黑幫槍擊殺人，槍手犯後常燒車燒槍滅證，迅速偷渡出境，前年桃園黑人家族精神領袖郭信一、去年台南市區漁會理事長林士傑遭槍殺均採此模式，警方境內追查趕不上槍手逃亡速度，鎖定槍手出境後，因請求陸方或東南亞國家協緝不易，均未偵破。

警界人士觀察，陸方認為沒有「九二共識」就沒有「兩岸共同打擊犯罪」，賴清德總統執政後，將大陸定義為「境外敵對勢力」，兩岸合作空間再被壓縮；東南亞各國多採「一中政策」，在大陸影響力下，與台交流有所顧忌，陸方可能出手干預；曾發生我高階警官赴東南亞警政參訪行程被臨時取消，台籍詐騙犯從東南亞被遣送大陸更屢見不鮮。

據調查，自二○○九年兩岸簽署「海峽兩岸共同打擊犯罪及司法互助協議」，合作偵破各類跨境犯罪成效件數，及自大陸遣返潛逃刑事犯人數，今年首度雙雙掛零。中國警察協會每年舉辦「海峽兩岸暨香港、澳門警學研討會」，往年我高階警官均透過中華民國刑事偵防協會名義參加，今年研討會在大陸浙江省寧波市舉行，台灣警察首次缺席。

兩岸互動愈來愈冷，有警官私下表示，相關政策均和政治有關，警方依上級政策執行，但對治安不利，為打擊犯罪，只能靠以往兩岸互動頻繁時培養的交情與互信，檯面下零星合作，保持低調以免破局。

苗21線沿途景點多，但山區部分路段狹窄會車不易，禁行中型巴士，轄區頭份警方前天在交整地點攔獲該輛違規載滿失聯移工的巴士。圖／警方提供苗栗縣南庄鄉東江新村往鹿場方向的苗21線，部分山區路段狹窄會車不易，禁行中型巴士，轄區警方前天攔獲違規行駛的中型巴士，赫見車上22名乘客全是失聯移工。原來是山區缺工嚴重，失聯移工被找來山上採野薑，全案依違反就業服務法移請苗栗專勤隊處理。

頭份警分局南庄分駐所巡佐廖國正、警員賴致寧前天下午3時多，在苗21線執行交整勤務時，在13公里處發現1輛中型巴士行駛禁行路段，攔查一看車內有8名男子與14名女子不像外國觀光客，疑似失聯移工，立即通報線上巡邏警力支援調查；經清查12名泰國籍、10名越南籍全是失聯移工。

據了解，一行人受雇於63歲何姓男子，前天早上從嘉義梅山出發，沿途收人乘坐該輛中型巴士北上，準備到南庄山區從事農務採集野薑及野薑花，還沒上工就被逮，未來將面臨遣返回國處分。南庄鄉本地的山地原住民議員楊文昌說，這是他第一次看到警方查獲這麼多失聯移工要來南庄山上打工賺錢，並提及往年季節性農產桂竹筍、甜柿以及生薑採收缺工，都是南庄、泰安、復興鄉三地族人輪流相互幫忙工作。

楊文昌推測，可能是近來各地適逢生薑採收期，這期間急需短期的大量人力，引發「搶工大作戰」，雇主無奈下只能自尋管道找工人，結果找來失聯移工，這下可能最後的收成都不夠付罰款。

title: 海巡少校涉勾結私菸集團受賄特斯拉 夫妻買豪宅名牌包 金流疑點多

content_text:
海巡署偵防分署少校偵查員林男涉嫌勾結私菸集團製造假績效，詐領檢舉獎金，還幫助「大餅私菸集團」打擊同業異己，甚至接受私菸集團賄絡高達2百萬的特斯拉名車，今年7月被彰化地檢署起訴，法院審理期間，林男否認接受賄絡，還請妻子出庭作證，表示他們自己買得起特斯拉，不過檢方盤點其財務狀況，認為疑點重重。

檢警查出，黃男（綽號大餅）與王女夫婦（均在逃，通緝中）所經營的「大餅私菸集團」是以集團方式大規模非法製造私菸的業者，為擴大「大餅私菸集團」在國內私菸市場版圖，竟自2019年起與海巡署偵防分署少校偵查員林男(39歲)協議，由林男洩漏查緝情資給黃男夫婦以包庇「大餅私菸集團」，更充當「大餅私菸集團」打手，由黃男夫婦提供國內其他私菸產製業者資訊給林男，林男再強力查緝其競爭對手，讓對手無法和「大餅私菸集團」競爭。

林男也因此獲得查緝私菸績效，偽造高達4億元行政罰鍰的假績效，林男與單位也因此累積上千萬檢舉獎金、查緝獎金。而黃男更曾以價值2百多萬元的特斯拉Model Y名車行賄林男。

彰檢今年7月將林男及共犯等6人依貪污治罪條例違背職務行、收賄等罪起訴，並對林男求處15年重刑，林男犯罪所得包括特斯拉及私菸案檢舉獎金等332萬多元均沒收。

彰化地方法院審理期間，林男否認接受賄賂，堅稱特斯拉是他自己上網下單買的，也有向銀行貸款200萬元，還讓妻子出庭作證，頭期款是妻子出的，妻子強調家中「現金很多」，自己就能買車。

據了解，林妻平時消費很大手筆，喜歡買名牌包，還傳出曾在台中的百貨公司單日狂刷卡破百萬元。也曾買下高達3200萬元豪宅，林男金流充滿疑點。

林男目前在押，10月初曾延長羈押，延押2個月期限將屆，是否會再延押，引發外界關注。

「消防法規雖然逐漸完善，但許多老舊大樓在產權複雜、經費不足等現實困境下，仍與規定存在落差，尤其缺乏高額修繕經費，風險持續存在。」消防署前署長、消防安全中心基金會董事長陳文龍點出台灣目前的問題。他說，日本規定買屋、租屋要另繳一筆「修繕積立金」，台灣或可仿效。

城中城大火悲劇促成內政部啟動修法，強制危險公寓大廈應成立管理組織及進行自主維護管理，逾期未成立就開罰，同時加強集合住宅公安檢查，今年一月更擴大六樓以上未達八樓建築物也要公安申報，不過，許多老舊大樓明明被檢查出有消防缺失，卻因為沒有經費而無力改善，持續存在消防公安風險。

「安全不是政府的責任，而是自己的責任。」陳文龍說，政府雖有補助修繕的經費，但全台老舊大樓眾多，不可能每戶補助，政府可以做的是修正相關法規。目前許多消防設備「簡易化、小型化」，但現在是同一套規定套用在不同建物上，政府應可讓大家覺得有辦法做得到，而不是一聽到就退縮。

中華民國防火學會前理事長、律師林亮宇曾於城中城大火後提到公安申報制度缺陷，他認為申報結果公開透明才能讓住戶及屋主善盡公安責任，也讓買方明白風險。

他表示，公安申報由國土管理署主管，不動產交易則由內政部地政司管理，「都在內政部底下，完全可以整合」，若能制度化揭露，「假如我是房東，知道沒申報就賣不出去，那我一定會更積極去辦」。

消防專家林金宏則點出，許多老舊大樓縱使設置管委會也功能不彰，但「自救」是每位住戶可以做到的事。他說，住大樓要隨時有風險意識，了解環境危險點、濃煙蔓延路徑、逃生動線有無障礙物、思考火警後要如何行動、照明及通訊系統是否堪用等。家中最好配置滅火器及住警器，養成「見火就逃、見煙就躲，不要往濃煙處跑」的觀念，「每一個人都應為自己的安全做好準備」。
