Democratic Party expelled the former mayor of Augustine after four days of resignation.

[Lee Chae-gyun / Democratic Party Chairman of the Ethics Tribunal: It was so serious and I also acknowledged it, so I decided to dismiss it.]

Along with the dismissal of the highest ranking disciplinary party, the party leader apologized again to block the ripples.

However, with the fact that President Moon Jae-in, Busan's legal representative, Busan, notarized the former Mayor's resignation letter, the United Party is raising the attack.

[Shim Jae-cheol / Integrator of the United Party: Attorney Jung Jae-sung, the current representative of Busan, a law firm, was the nephew of former President Roh Moo-hyun and was the chairman of the recruitment committee at Ogundon Camp. With such a special relationship, which citizen can believe that the Blue House did not know?]

Before the election, a law firm close to the government even identified the mayor of the mayor's resignation before the presidential election, but the high-ranking passport did not know.

However, it was reported that Busan, a law firm, did not need to explain the claims of the United Party.

The Democratic Party repeatedly expressed its stance that it was the first time that the Mayor had resigned on the 23rd.

[Lee Hae-chan / Democratic Party President: On the morning of Thursday (23rd), I was surprised and

terrified when I heard the news. ” Oh, an official from the Busan Sexual Violence Counsel Office, who is helping victims of the Mayor incident, said,“ It is important to draw out a formal apology and resignation promise from the abuser. Haji, I don't know why it's important who notarized. "
