備受關注的軍公教是否加薪3％，行政院人事總處呈報加薪3％及不加薪兩案並陳，行政院會今（21日）拍板，確定不加薪。國民黨傍晚發出中英新聞討表達遺憾，其中「總體國防支出」部分，未能依據總統已公佈之《警察人事條例》與《軍人待遇條例》修正案編列，以提升現役軍人待遇並改善軍警消防人員的退撫制度。

當前臺灣面臨中共日益升高的軍事威脅，即將接收大量美方對臺軍售裝備，同時軍隊人力嚴重不足的事實。在此情況下，提高軍人待遇與福利，是維持「招募率」與「留營率」最快速且最有效的方法。

國民黨堅定支持增加國防預算、購買先進武器裝備、維護國家安全以及確保臺海和平。然而，民進黨政府卻拒絕正視兵員不足的嚴峻挑戰，此舉不僅違反憲法精神，扭曲預算配置，更嚴重削弱臺灣的防衛能力，與國際社會的期待背道而馳。

國民黨呼籲政府正視現實，採取負責任的預算規劃，確保臺灣的國防不僅建立在先進武器之上，更奠基於守護國家的官兵士氣與福祉。

The Executive Yuan today (August 21) approved the draft FY2026 Central Government General Budget. Regrettably, the section on “overall national defense expenditures” failed to incorporate the amendments to the “Police Personnel Act” and “Military Personnel Benefits Act” already promulgated by the President, which were intended to raise the compensation of active-duty servicemembers and improve pensions for military, police, and firefighters.

At a time when Taiwan faces an escalating military threat from the People’s Republic of China, prepares to receive substantial U.S. arms sales, and continues to confront a severe shortage of military personnel, enhancing servicemember pay and benefits remains the fastest and most effective means of sustaining recruitment and retention.

The KMT firmly supports increasing the defense budget, acquiring advanced weapons and equipment, safeguarding national security, and ensuring peace in the Taiwan Strait. However, the DPP government has refused to confront the pressing challenge of manpower shortages. Such neglect not only violates the spirit of the Constitution and distorts budgetary priorities but also severely undermines Taiwan’s defense capabilities and runs contrary to the expectations of the international community.The KMT urges the government to face reality, pursue responsible budgetary planning, and ensure that Taiwan’s national defense rests not only on advanced weaponry, but also on the morale and well-being of the men and women who serve.
