Mayor Hau fails to appease 12 protesting families from Wenlin Yuan

It has been 9 months since the Wang family’s two apartments in Shilin District were forcibly demolished as part of the urban renewal project Wenlin Yuan (文林苑). After repeated attempts to ascertain the current situation by households supporting the project ended without results, a meeting with Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin was finally secured for the afternoon of the 9th January. Hsieh Chun-chiao (謝春嬌), director of the self-help association organized by households that support the project, expressed her hope that Taipei City Government would intervene in the situation, helping to coordinate the construction process and delivery of their new homes, as well as giving them a clear timetable for this process. However, after over an hour of talks with Mayor Hau ended with no such timetable, all households were left extremely disappointed. With the aim of expressing their wish to go home, a further protest will be held in front of Taipei City Government at noon on the 12th.

會見郝市長無結果 文林苑同意戶12日將抗爭

文林苑案自台北市政府進場強制拆除王家建物後，至今九個多月仍處於閒置狀態；同意戶九個多月來多次陳情未果；9日下午，接受台北市長郝龍斌接見；同意戶自救會會長謝春嬌表示希望市府介入協調進場動工、興建與交屋，並期盼市府能給同意戶明確的時間表，不過在與市長會談一個多小時後；市長並無給予任何的時間表，讓同意戶非常痛心。表示將於12日中午再度到市府前進行抗議，表達想要回家的述求。
