扁退黨是蔡英文的意思

扁退黨是蔡英文的意思

台灣國臨時政府總召集人 沈建德

2008年8月15陳水扁退出民進黨，媒體報導是主動退出（見圖），但同年9月30日蔡英文向AIT楊甦棣坦白，是她派柯建銘及陳奇邁去要求扁退黨。

楊甦棣問她，是扁自己決定退黨，還是被「鼓勵」退黨？她說她沒直接要求扁退黨，而是透過一個資深黨員去力勸退黨。

之後扁就發表「千山我獨行」的退黨聲明，獨自面對蔡英文所說的「政治算計」。

AIT的電報原文如下：

6. (C) Tsai, who has purposely distanced herself from the Chen Shui-bian scandal and has said little in public or in previous meetings with AIT, offered insights on Chen and his status within the DPP. Asked whether Chen decided to resign from the DPP or was encouraged to do so, Tsai explained that she did not ask Chen directly. Instead, she asked a senior DPP member to reach out to Chen to urge him to quit the DPP for the good of the party. Chen's subsequent efforts to rally public support for himself were motivated largely by his legal considerations and had not hurt the DPP. While the DPP was content to leave the process to the judicial system, she cautioned that the DPP would have to reconsider if the process were to be politicized.
