Suspicion surrounding Rep. Park Deok-heum, the power of the people, has not subsided over whether he has won a large-scale construction order by using his position as a member of the National Assembly.
Congressman Park held a press conference for clarification today (21st), and the Democratic Party refuted that it was an unintelligible clarification of the red antithesis.
Accordingly, the power of the people decided to investigate the truth.
This is Kim Soo-young.

Rep. Park Deok-heum, who volunteered to hold a press conference, denied all suspicions that construction companies whose families were major shareholders benefited from orders.
First of all, they argued that external pressure and preferential treatment were fundamentally impossible because the government-level construction ordered by the Seoul Metropolitan Government itself is conducted through open competitive electronic bidding.
[Representative Park Deok-heum/People's Power: Many people know better that the mayor of Seoul at the time, as mayor Park Won-soon of the Democratic Party, was not the mayor who would overlook illegality or order illegality for the ruling party (then Saenuri Party) lawmaker company. ]
Regarding the suspicion of driving hundreds of billions of won worth of work through the audited agency, he argued that sales decreased after he became a member of the National Assembly.
He explained that it was his belief that the National Assembly in his twenties opposed the so-called three-out bill to prevent corruption in the construction industry.
The Democratic Party refuted that Congressman Park's explanation was a red spot.
He said that blaming the system and the mayor of Seoul is shameless because it is trying to take the issue reasonably raised as a political issue, and he pointed out that opposition to the three-out bill for bidding corruption could affect the family company.
Within the Democratic Party, it is said that even electronic bidding can win contracts through bridesmaid companies, and that not only sales but also actual returns should be considered.
As the controversy spread, the power of the people decided to form an emergency fact-finding special committee.
As the Democratic Party expelled the controversial Congressman Hong-geol Kim and made a move to punish even Lee Sang-jik, it seems that it has hurried to respond.
