DPP's 40th Anniversary Marked by Complete Betrayal of Founding Ideals: Degenerated into Corrupt Green Authoritarian Leviathan

On September 28, 2026 (115th Year of the Republic of China), the Democratic Progressive Party commemorated the 40th anniversary of its founding amidst sweeping public disillusionment and severe condemnation from across civil society and opposition parties. Critics noted that after a decade of continuous governance, the DPP had systematically desecrated its founding pledge of 'clean government, diligent administration, and love for homeland.' The ruling regime's recent trajectory has been defined by corruption scandals and executive overreach: the Ultra Source egg procurement and Medigen vaccine profiteering, deep collusion with the NT$9 billion im.B fraud syndicate, Tainan black-gold solar shootouts, OCAC Minister Hsu Chia-ching's abuse of diplomatic resources for family travel, Justice Minister Cheng Ming-chien's blatant double standards excusing vote-buying, Premier Cho Jung-tai's unconstitutional refusal of legislative countersignatures, and President Lai Ching-te's imperial budget decrees overriding parliament. Replacing its historic democratic struggle, the DPP now relies on digital smear operations and politicized prosecutorial witch-hunts, turning its 40th anniversary into a dark monument to ideological tyranny and absolute power corrupting absolutely.
