“Efforts to sharpen bones for fundamental change”
Decision made after the national committee on the 30th
Displeased with Democrat’s’Surprise’
The Justice Party, which faced the greatest crisis in nine years after its founding, due to the sexual harassment of former representative Kim Jong-cheol’s member of the legislator, began to take action in earnest. Some have even discussed the party’s developmental dissolution, but it was decided to close the aftereffects of the situation and review the nomination of the re-election in April.
The Justice Party held a general meeting of parliamentarians on the 26th and appointed Rep. Ho-jeong Ryu as the new deputy deputy representative in the hospital and a spokesperson in the hospital. This is because Rep. Jang Hye-young, a victim of sexual harassment, withdrew from the head of the hospital due to abstention from the High-ranking Public Officials Crime Investigation Service (KAI) Act. Rep. Chang was absent from the General Assembly on this day.
“I know very well that it has caused pain and frustration that is difficult to explain to the people in words,” said Eun-mi Kang at the general meeting of the lawmakers. From the bottom up, I will make an effort to sharpen the bones for a fundamental change.” Assemblyman Ryu also said, “I will do my best to help victims return to their daily lives while preparing for the reorganization of the party’s operating system and organization,” and said, “I will review everything in the party from the bottom up.” He added, “Rather, because (the perpetrator) is the party’s representative, the Justice Party will deal with the case with a firm and zero tolerance attitude.”
The Justice Party is also considering no candidates for the Seoul-Busan mayoral by-election in April. Earlier, the Justice Party insisted that “no nominations for candidates should be made” toward the Democratic Party, which is attributable to this by-election. The Justice Party is scheduled to make a final decision on whether or not to be nominated after going through a curriculum meeting of the provinces and cities on the 27th and a national committee on the 30th. In the party, general resignation of the leadership was discussed, but Kang Won-nae said, “Some party members are talking about (general resignation), but they have not yet considered it.” However, the Justice Party decided to conduct a thorough investigation into the issue of sexual misconduct targeting key officials. Meanwhile, the Justice Party was uncomfortable toward the Democratic Party, which made an official comment on the incident the day before, saying, “It is a shock beyond shock.” Rep. Ryu said, “I have a lot to say (about the Democratic Party’s comments), but I will never (do).” “But I will definitely take the Democratic Party’s advice. “We will take action on the principle of zero tolerance.”
