柯文哲交保回家为蓝白合添变数？Ko Wen-je's release and Taiwan's opposition politics

在被羁押一年后，台湾在野党民众党前主席柯文哲，星期一上午以新台币7000万元交保回家。

柯文哲是台湾“白色力量”的领军人物，他在2024年参选总统落败，不久后被指卷入京华城土地弊案，遭起诉图利、收贿、公益侵占及背信等罪名，包括收取威京集团主席沈庆京约新台币1700万元贿款，并与李文宗、李文娟兄妹共同侵占政治献金约新台币6200万元。

不过，台湾检调调查一年，仍未查出金流。如今，柯文哲获准交保回家。台北地检署则表示，将尽速提起抗告。

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红与新加坡国立大学东亚研究所高级研究员祁冬涛解析柯文哲这次的回归，是“满血复活”，还是踏入更凶险的漩涡？他真的是被冤枉的吗？而他的再度登场，会否为“蓝白合”投下重大变数？

Former Taipei Mayor and ex-chairman of the Taiwan People's Party (TPP), Ko Wen-je, was released on NT$70 million bail after spending a year in detention on corruption charges.

Ko, known for leading the “white force” political movement, finished third in the January 2024 presidential election. He was indicted in December on multiple counts, including allegedly accepting NT$17.1 million in bribes during a property redevelopment case and misappropriating political contributions linked to his campaign. Prosecutors plan to appeal the court’s decision to release him.

In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yonghong and Qi Dongtao, Senior Research Fellow at the East Asian Institute, National University of Singapore, analyse these developments and discuss their implications for Taiwan’s opposition politics.
