Honkonga ĉefregantino Carrie Lam eldonis alparolon per video post protestoj en la leĝfarejo
La 16-an de oktobro, la ĉefregantino de Honkongo Carrie Lam eldonis ŝian ĉiujaran politikan alparolon. Parolante en la Leĝfara Koncilio, Lam-on interrompis protestantaj leĝfaristoj. La leĝfarejo fermis kaj poste Lam eldonis la alparolon per video. Laŭ raportoj tiu ĉi estas la unua okazo.
Prodemokratiaj leĝfaristoj kriegis al Lam kaj projekciis devizojn sur la muroj de la leĝfarejaj ĉambroj. Kelkaj leĝfaristoj forpreniĝis. Prezidanto de la koncilio Andrew Leung fermis la kunsido iujn minutojn post la alparolo komencis kiam Lam eliris.
In the subsequent video broadcast of the speech, Lam said, "any acts that advocate Hong Kong’s independence and threaten the country’s sovereignty, security and development interests will not be tolerated." She further stated, "So long as Hong Kong remains impeded by unresolved disputes, ongoing violence, confrontation and discord, our city cannot embark on the road to reconciliation and people will lose faith in the future […] We have to put aside differences and stop attacking each other".
Lam also spoke on the economy. "The Hong Kong economy has already slipped into a technical recession since the third quarter. In mid-August, the government lowered the economic growth forecast for 2019 to 0 – 1%", she said, noting it was the worst their economy had performed since 2009. Lam also introduced housing and property initiatives to address concerns about rising prices.
Legislator Tanya Chan spoke to the press after the speech: "I really urge [Lam], if she can’t govern Hong Kong, and has no determination to govern Hong Kong, and no ability or even capability of administrating Hong Kong, to please step down. This is the only way we can have a good future, the only way Hong Kong can go forward. Please, please Carrie Lam, please don’t let us suffer anymore. Please go."
Regina Ip from the pro-Beijing camp said in a press conference: "The behavior of my colleagues in disrupting the delivery of the policy address by the chief executive is anti-democratic and oppressive of the rights of the chief executive, and the rights and freedoms of myself and colleagues who want to listen to the policy address".
