<Anchor> The
Justice Party leadership repeatedly bowed his head over the sexual harassment case of former CEO Kim Jong-cheol.
He also said that there was no need for any excuses for criticizing the party.
There is a continuing movement of support and solidarity with Rep. Jang Hye-young, who disclosed the damage.
This is Kang Min-woo.
<Reporter> The
General Assembly of the Justice Party members held from the morning of today (26th).
[Kang Eun-mi/Jeong Eui-dang Representative: We deeply apologize for causing great shock and concern for the sexual harassment incident by former President Kim Jong-cheol of our Party.] Since we
have advocated gender equality as the core value of the Party, we have lowered ourselves to criticism inside and outside the Party.
[Ryu Ho-jeong/Jeong-eui-dang Senior Vice Representative: I thought I was doing (gender equality) education diligently every year, but it was an illusion.
For the criticism that the Justice Party is no different, there is no need for excuses for any criticism.] In the
worst crisis situation, we have decided to launch an emergency response organization.
The party's restructuring measures are being discussed as a way to do a thorough investigation on the sexual consciousness of the officials, instead of no candidates for the 4/7 re-election.
Rep. Hye-young Jang's recovery and return to legislative activities are the top priorities.
In particular, it will respond firmly to secondary abuses such as the theory of responsibility for victims and the theory of sympathy for the perpetrator.
There is also spreading support and solidarity movements for Rep. Chang, who refused to be a victim and said he would restore his dignity.
Posts such as sending and authenticating donations with the hashtag'Jang Hye-young as a daily life, the National Assembly' are being posted around social media.
The Justice Party argued that it was not desirable to conduct an investigation contrary to the intention of Rep. Jang as the disciplinary procedure in the party was in progress for a conservative group's accusation to the prosecution of former CEO Kim Jong-cheol.
