<Anchor> The

Democratic Party announced today that it will remove Mayor Oh from the party today. Hee-Jung Ahn, after the former Governor of Chungnam Province, is experiencing an embarrassment. The United Party raised the suspicion that the Democratic Party's unfamiliarity had been revealed, and that the timing of resignation had already been coordinated with the party since the general election.

This is a report from Jeong-Hyun Jeong.

<Reporter> When the

mayor of Busan, Augusta, admitted to sexual harassment and resigned, the Democratic Party held an emergency press conference.

Secretary-General Yoon Ho-jung said he apologizes to the public for Mayor Oh's resignation during his term of office, and said he will open an ethics judge today to begin the expulsion process.

[Yoon Ho-joong / Democratic Party of the Democratic People's Party: I think it will be difficult to think of any action other than dismissal.]

However, the Democratic Party reported that Mayor Oh's resignation meeting was reported by the Busan Metropolitan Government around 9:30 am yesterday. He explained that he had no idea.

The United Nations criticized the incident as revealing the unfamiliarity of the Democratic Party, which put women's human rights and protections first.

[Sung-Won Kim / Spokesman of the Future Unification Party: Of course, as well as legally responsible, the Democratic Party will have to apologize and come up with measures to prevent recurrence.] In the

meantime, the Democratic Party may have been involved in the process of setting the timing of Mayor's resignation after the general election. He insisted that the prosecution's investigation should reveal the point of recognition of the Mayor's sexual harassment.

The Justice Party urged that the Democratic Party hope to find a way to take responsibility for the situation, saying that resignation alone cannot escape the responsibility of sexual violence.
