On the 23rd, around 12:00 noon, the Blue House press room was busy. It was because of an article in the Hankook Ilbo that was reported in the title of <Park Won-soon's Consolation to Victims> in the official position after two weeks. Kang Min-suk, a spokesman for the Blue House, said in a call to the reporter, "I sympathize with the victim's position. I want to convey words of comfort to the victim."
According to the article, the Blue House is the first position that Park Won-soon announced regarding suspicion of sexual harassment by former Mayor of Seoul. In the Blue House, the secretary-general of President Roh Young-min visited the mayor of former Mayor Park and delivered the statement of President Moon saying, "It's been a long-standing relationship, but it's so shocking." However, the spokesperson who heard directly was a little different. When asked, "Please clarify what the Blue House is like," the spokesman said.
● "Silence is finally broken?"… Spokesperson's'Official Position'
"The official position, anyway, now I know that the original city of Seoul was working on the fact-finding and then passed on to the Human Rights Commission. The truth-finding work will be carried out either in the Seoul City or the Human Rights Commission. It will reveal a more clear and appropriate official position."
-Spokesperson Kang Min-suk at the Blue House press conference on the afternoon of the 23rd-
A spokesman drew a statement that his words expressing "sympathy" and "comfort" to the victim were not the official position of the Blue House. A senior official at the Blue House explained the context of the remarks, saying, "To give comfort even if the relationship is not specified is to tell you about the part that suffers from various secondary abuses." When asked if the President had anything to do with the issue, he said, "I cannot give you all the remarks of the President." The Hankook Ilbo also changed the title of the article with the subject <Kim Min-suk, spokesman Kang, "I give comfort to the victims of Park Won-soon" as a spokesperson, not the Blue House.
The news that "the president's silence was broken" was sorted out in half a day as such a kind of'happening'. On the 13th, a spokesperson who used the expression'victim of the victim' in the briefing used the title'victim' all day, but nothing else changed. The spokesman maintained the principle that "the Blue House is a firm position on the sexual position of high-ranking officials, and the priority of protecting victims is the Blue House's original position." To this blue house, the Justice Party set the day.
● "Outside and avoidance are not responsible... who will stand by?"
Spokesperson Jo Hye-min of the Justice Party said yesterday (24th) that the Blue House said, "There should be no second harm to the victim." "I couldn't hide my frustration in drawing a line of sympathy while sending a message of sympathy to the victim."
"The victim accused him of courage, but he is facing another fight against power. In the current situation of the second round of violence, President Moon Jae-in urges him to give a clear stance on who will stand next. I hope you know that you are never responsible."
-Spokesperson Jo Hye-min of the Justice Party, in the press conference on the afternoon of the 24th-
The future opposition leader of the future opposition party, President Kim Jong-in of the emergency response committee, said on the 16th that "Mr. Moon will express a clear attitude regarding Park Won-soon's death." It is not only the opposition party that is watching Moon's silence. As it turns out, the US CNN broadcast said on the 16th that "South Korea's President says he is a feminist. South Korea's President says he's a feminist. Three of his allies have been accused of sex crimes." In an article in the title, "President Moon did not even mention Park's death, the alleged victim, or even touch on broader gender issues." "Moon has stayed silent on the accusations against all three leaders," all reported by all three leading politicians (Moon has stayed silent on the accusations against all three leaders) I did.
There's a story that came out a little from this happening. When the investigation of the alleged Mayor Park Won-soon's suspicion is over, the Blue House, that is, the real'official position' with President Moon's will may come out. This is because a spokesman for Kang said, "It seems that the results of finding out the truth should come out if we can deliver the appropriate information when appropriate." However, since it is a reserved position to'see results', silence may continue depending on the results.
The findings of the case, which are being conducted by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea and the police on a'two track' basis, cannot yet be predicted. The police say that the death of a deceased person can reveal the truth even without the right to prosecution, but there are also few skeptics. The victim plans to file a complaint with the Human Rights Commission within the week this week, but there are many observations that the Human Rights Commission has no limits from the start due to lack of coercion.
● "Countries where victims are not subject to secondary damages or disadvantages"
On the 26th of February 2018, President Moon spoke at the Senior Aide Conference held at the Blue House Women's Hall. It was a remark that strongly expressed the willingness to support and support this as the President, while the Mitu movement was spreading. Try moving that part.
"I think the Mitu movement is spreading to all areas of our society. I think that the problem that had to be exploded in one day and that was forced to explode at this time came out at this time. In particular, our government, born through the Candlelight Revolution, was concerned with gender equality and women's human rights. for I think that reflects the expectations of the people who believe in solving agency. accept heavily Mitu movement honor the courage of the victims to expose the damage in fact, strongly supported the Mitu exercise.
first, law enforcement officials courage of the victims In response to the action, you will have to actively investigate the case, if there is a victim's disclosure, check the criminal charges, and the case after June 2013, when the prosecution clause was removed, will require an active investigation even if the victim is not sued. a particularly strong acts men trample the weak women in power or status will be put to any form of violence, any relationship, the perpetrators of identity and status whatever grueling.
gender violence is strong suppression stands sexually It is a social structure that easily violently or violently violates the weak, so even if you are ashamed and sick, you will have to take this opportunity to reveal the truth and take fundamental measures to solve it. I think as long as necessary to spread the midnight exercises for each area of pan-social Mitu movement.
the government also hope all the period provided the underlying measures to also have to enjoy social improves our social level with the target dignity. So far the government We have taken a step-by-step approach to eradicate sexual harassment and sexual violence in the public sector first, and then spread it to the private sector, but watching this MeToo movement, we have clearly realized that it is not a matter to cover the public and private sectors. With the attitude of rooting for gender violence rooted in, it is advisable that related ministries mobilize all means of government-wide measures, especially to ensure that victims of courageous damage do not suffer secondary damages or disadvantages. Please arrange. "

● "I wanted to be protected as a victim. Is this process over?"
The Korea Sexual Violence Counseling Center and the Korean Women's Telephone held the second press conference on the 22nd and delivered the victim's entry. The victim said he had suffered a second offense, but said he was getting great strength from those who supported him. Victims say that comforting themselves in unfathomable suffering was ultimately the solidarity of people with no name or face. Victims say the comfort created by the voices of non-silent people saved themselves. However, there is no voice of the President in it.
The victim appealed to ask him to focus on the revealed truth. The Blue House said that it was not an official position, even though it said'sympathy and comfort for the victim'. You will have to watch what to say and what to say on that day.
