Former DPP Chairman Lin Yi-hsiung enters second day of hunger strike (2014/04/23)

Former DPP chairman Lin Yi-hsiung is in the second day of a hunger strike to oppose work on the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant. Lin has vowed not to receive visitors but several stopped by to express sympathy, including the president.

As President Ma Ying-jeou’s motorcade approached Gikong Church, a group of people began to shout out in protest. Ma was unable to visit Lin, but he left behind a card expressing his sentiments.

President Ma Ying-jeou
I am willing to represent the government in pledging after strict security reviews are performed by domestic and foreign experts, the fate of the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant will be put to a referendum.

A former DPP premier argues that even if operations at the plant are safe, it will impact Taiwan for generations.

Chang Chun-hsiung
Former Premier
We will leave the poison of (nuclear waste) in the earth for our children and grandchildren for tens of thousands of years simply for the convenience of generating power for a few dozen years. Is this the right? I am saddened by this.

Frank Hsieh
Former Premier
Around the world there are nuclear power plants that have passed safety inspections yet experienced disaster. Therefore, I don’t think we can’t rely on these safety checks.

Other visitors who stopped by and expressed sympathy for Lin included Taipei Mayor Hau Lung-bin, independent candidate for Taipei Mayor Ko Wen-je and former President Chen Shui-bian’s son, Chen Chih-chung.

林義雄二日

前民進黨主席林義雄，為停建核四禁食行動，進入第二天，藍綠陣營都有人前往探視，總統馬英九上午親自到現場，雖然沒有見到林義雄本人，不過還是送了一張卡片，承諾核四完成安檢後，會交由全民公投來決定，不過卻被謝長廷反嗆，核安根本就是玩假的。

總統馬英九車隊一到義光教會，就被現場民眾嗆聲，他特地來探望林義雄，雖然沒見到本人，不過還是留下一張卡片。

[[總統馬英九]]
“我願意代表政府向您承諾，核四經國內外專家嚴格安檢後，交由全民公投來決定它的未來”

身為民進黨的前行政院長張俊雄，覺得儘管核四安檢後是沒問題的，但仍然會對台灣後代造成影響。

[[前行政院長張俊雄]]
“我們竟然留下這個毒(核廢料) ，給土地跟我們的子子孫孫，有幾萬年的毒品，為了貪圖我們幾十年發電的方便，我們這樣做對嗎，我心裡好痛”

[[前行政院長謝長廷]]
“全世界發生災害的核能電廠，都是有經過核安的檢查，所以這核安檢查是不可靠的”

此外，曾表態反對核四的台北市長郝龍斌、台大醫師柯文哲、陳致中等人，也都前往探視關心。
