Candidates focus on the referendum

DEBATE In the second debate for presidential candidates, Lien Chan came under fire for his `contradictory' attitude

By Chang Yun-ping  /  STAFF REPORTER

Lien yesterday again attacked Chen's character as "capricious," citing his inconsistency on the policies of whether to continue the construction of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant.

Other issues discussed in the debate ranged from gender equality, the autonomy of Aborigines and revisions of compulsory military service to the rezoning of municipalities.

At the end, Chen also invited Lien to participate in another two rounds of debates in order to better present the policies of both parties to the people. However, Lien shied away from giving an answer to Chen's invitation.
