To the conclusion of “Park Won-soon sexual harassment”… Democratic Party’s’Rear North Apology’ Criticized’Election Use’ in Party

In-soon Nam, a member of the Democratic Party. © News1-On the 26th, the day after the National Human Rights Commission decided that the acts of former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon were sexual harassment, the Democratic Party continued to apologize to the victims and the people. Criticism continues that the Democratic Party, which has remained silent for a while, has launched an apology for’showing’ the Seoul-Busan mayoral by-election after the announcement of the Human Rights Commission and the controversy over sexual harassment of former Justice Party leader Kim Jong-cheol. In particular, as the party leadership started drawing lines, such as not making any official comments on the Justice Party situation, even within the party, it is pointed out that “apologize for the lack of sincerity conscious of the by-election.”

○ Democratic Party “A deep apology to the victims and the people”

Democratic Party spokesman Shin Young-dae said, “Yesterday (25th), the National Human Rights Committee concluded that the late Mayor Park Won-soon’s actions were sexual harassment.” “The Democratic Party respects the results of the Human Rights Commission and I deeply apologize for causing concern to the people.” The Democratic Women’s Committee also issued a separate statement and said, “I sincerely apologize to the victims, their families who have suffered for a long time, and the people who have caused disappointment.”

Democratic Party Rep. Nam In-soon, who was accused of notifying former Mayor Park of the lawsuit during the prosecution’s investigation, said on his Facebook page, “To all women including the 20s and 30s who have fought against sexual harassment and gender discrimination, organizations devoted to the victims and women’s rights movement. I apologize for hurting me,” he wrote. It has been about a week since Mayor Park’s sexual harassment victim’s request for public apology and resignation on the 18th. However, Rep. Nam said, “It caused considerable confusion when I (Im Soon-young) asked’what unpleasant thing happened’ through the phone call to the Seoul Gender News Agency.” He didn’t even comment on his own way.

○ Even within the party, the criticism of the “election apology”

When the Democratic Party, which had been silent despite the victims’ request, apologized only a day after the NHRCK announcement, criticism from inside and outside the politics of “apologizing for the by-election” came out. In particular, as the party leadership draws a line on the political affairs of the Justice Party, the voice of such criticism is growing even within the party. In fact, the Democratic Party’s leadership did not make any comments except for Lee So-young, who said, “I send consolation, respect, and solidarity to Justice Party Rep. Jang Hye-young (the victim) at the party policy coordination meeting.” A re-elected member of the Democratic Party said, “The fact that the leadership did not mention otherwise is a message that we are the original sin of the sexual scandals of the progressive camp,” and said, “It is probably because the April election could be sparked if we didn’t mention it officially.” Said. Rep. Han Jung-jin said, “It’s a good situation to be misunderstood as’an apology for an apology’ to bury in the Justice Party situation in terms of timing.” Democratic Party Rep. Kwon In-sook said on his Facebook page that day, “The statement announced by the Democratic Party on the Justice Party incident was very embarrassing and disastrous,” and “I cannot afford to blame other parties.” On the previous day, the party’s leadership, who drew a line, made a comment on the situation of the Justice Party, saying, “It is a surprise beyond shock” (Chief In-ho, Democratic Party chief spokesman). Rep. Kwon is a victim of the sexual torture incident at the Bucheon Police Station in 1987. Intensive criticism continued in the opposition. People’s Power Lee Jong-bae, chairman of the policy committee, said at the party’s in-house countermeasures meeting, “The Democratic Party responded with shock and shock to the sexual harassment. I said.

Power of the People Se-Hoon Oh, former Mayor of Seoul, aimed at former Minister of Small and Medium Venture Business Park Young-seon, who declared that he ran for the Seoul Mayor’s by-election on this day, saying, “I tried to declare running for the day after the results of the Human Rights Commission’s investigation. .

Meanwhile, Mr. A, a sexual harassment victim, former Mayor Park, said through a statement issued in the name of “Joint Action for Mayor of Seoul’s Powerful Sexual Violence Case” the day before, “People who were in the process of divulging the fact of the complaint or requesting support from the victim dropped their positions and told the victim “I have to apologize,” he urged again to resign. To the Democratic Party, he demanded that “it has been irresponsible until now,” and that “all actors who tried to reduce, conceal, and evade the issue should be strictly strict.”
