Kim Eun-kyung, chairman of the Innovation Committee of the Democratic Party of Korea, speaks at a press conference at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul on the afternoon of the 12th. 2023.7.12/News 1
On the 12th, Democratic Party Innovation Committee Chairman Kim Eun-gyeong urged the party leadership to come up with measures to prevent “tricky withdrawal from the party.” “If the party leadership doesn’t accept the reform bill, the Democratic Party is doomed,” she added. However, she was silent about Rep. Kim Hong-gul, who was expelled for suspicion of real estate speculation and reinstated on the 7th.
Chairman Kim held a press conference at the National Assembly that day and said, “It is not in line with the public to withdraw from the party and avoid problems in the name of reducing the burden on the party.” It is reported as withdrawal from the party to avoid disciplinary action, and it is necessary to restrict reinstatement at the party level.” Rep. Kim Nam-guk, who was recently embroiled in a controversy over possession of a large amount of coins, and Song Young-gil, Yoon Kwan-seok, and Lee Seong-man, who were involved in the money envelope case at the party convention, were pointed out as “tricky withdrawal” from the party.
However, Chairman Kim did not mention Rep. Kim Hong-gul, who was expelled from the Democratic Party in September 2020 due to reports of property reduction and allegations of real estate speculation, and then was reinstated. Rep. Kim, a proportional representative, loses his seat if he leaves the party voluntarily, but can keep his seat if he is expelled from the party. Rep. Kim was later indicted for violating the Public Official Election Act and received a final judgment of a fine of 800,000 won. When such Congressman Kim worked as an independent lawmaker for nearly three years and even returned to the party with about a year left before the general election, criticism came from within the party that “the issue in question was not clarified, but he was convicted, but he was given an indulgence just because he was the son of former President Kim Dae-jung.” . A member of the Democratic Party said, “It is problematic that the Innovation Committee did not say a word about Rep.
On the 10th, Chairman Kim met with the Democratic Party’s standing advisors, including former National Assembly speakers. At this meeting, one person is said to have told Chairman Kim, “There is a story that the Innovation Committee should also deal with the issue of CEO Lee Jae-myung’s move.”
