行動緣起
馬英九總統在就職兩周年記者會上，提出「環保救國」論，但是民間觀察，政府為了服務財團，伸手介入環評審查，實際上根本就是「財團治國」。

五月中旬，國光石化公然向政府喊話，『如果年底環評仍不通過，民股就要撤資』，行政院長吳敦義聞言即刻指示環保署加速審查，讓國光石化可以按照建廠時程動工。為此，環保署密集召開相關會議，上週才開完海岸地形變遷專家會議，這禮拜又連開三場專家會議（白海豚、健康風險及水資源）和專案小組審查會議。會議密集的程度，已經超越「一週一會議」的中科四期案了。先不談專家學者是否有充分的時間閱讀資料，財團只要放話，政府就趕緊替它想辦法，老百姓實在搞不清楚：政府到底是財團的公僕，還是人民的公僕？

因此，在國光石化專案小組審查會議這天，我們舉辦快閃行動，目的在告訴馬英九總統：讓人民相信環保救國之前，請先脫離財團治國狀態吧！

行動時間
6月11日（星期五）上午9點30分

Lies: “Saving Taiwan with Environmental Protection”;
Truth: “Turning the Country Over to Corporate Cronies”
Flash Mob Protest In Front of the Presidential Office

Initiating Groups
Matsu’s Fish Conservation Union (Taiwan Academy of Ecology, Taiwan Sustainable Union, Taiwan Environmental Protection Union, Wild at Heart Legal Defense Association Taiwan, Yunlin Wild Bird Federation, Changhua Coast Conservation Alliance), Changhua Environmental Protection Union

Background:
On the second anniversary of taking office Ma Ying-jeou came up with his line about using environmental protection to save the country, however all anyone can observe is toadying to short term economic interests of a few corporate cronies, toadying that has taken the form of interference with the environmental impact assessment process to an unprecedented extent. The government has lost control and the country is being delivered to a few conglomerates to do as they please.
The private shareholders of the Kuokuang Petrochemical Park development went to the government moaning about the EIA process and threatened to pull out if there project doesn’t get the go ahead from the EIA Committee by year’s end. Wu Dun-yih thereupon called on the Environmental Protection Agency to hold a series of back to back meetings so that the projects construction can go ahead as planned. Last week a meeting was held on ocean geology impacts of the project, and this week four meetings are scheduled, including three experts meetings (impact on dolphins, water resources and human health) as well as a meeting of the subcommittee that is screening the case which is in its second phase EIA.

The frequency and intensity of the meetings has broken all records, including that set by the Fourth Phase of the Central Science Park. Without even asking whether or not the experts and academics that have been invited to participate have sufficient time to read the materials and prepare for the meetings, the conglomerates need only to say “jump” and the government says “how high”. Perhaps we are naive to ask the officials: “you are supposed to be servants of the “public”, does the public now only include artificial persons like corporations?”

So as the committee of commissioners prepares to review the Kuokuang development project, we would like to use a small flash mob to send Mr. Ma the message that “Before we believe you are serious about environmental protection saving Taiwan, you are going to have shake off the corporate predators that you continue to invite to take over the nation”.
