Park Ji-hyeon, former chairman of the Democratic Party's emergency response committee, said to a party ethics judge who was about to discuss disciplinary action against Rep. Choi Kang-wook's 'sexual harassment remarks', "I hope that we will impose heavy punishment on Rep. Choi today and prove that the Democratic Party has entered the path of innovation desired by the people. ' he pressed.
Former Chairman Park Ji-hyeon said in a post on his SNS today (20th), "The Democratic Party promised to take appropriate disciplinary action ahead of the local elections, including Choi's sexual harassment remarks, attempts by fellow lawmakers to cover up, and even secondary offenses." I did.
It is the first time that former Chairman Park has posted a post on her SNS since she stepped down from the position of chairman of the Blitz after losing the last June 1 local election.
Former Chairman Park said, "Rep. Choi postponed his attendance at the Ethics Tribunal and the disciplinary process was delayed, and I (who was the non-chairman) requested emergency disciplinary action, but our party did not accept it," said Park. I promised," he said.
At the same time, she insisted, "Today is the day to keep that promise." "The Democratic Party's innovation must start with a 'Democratic Party that keeps its promise'."
He continued, "Rep. Choi put the party into crisis with lies, cover-up, and secondary persecution. If it stops with a light punishment or postpones the disciplinary action itself again, if you punish it without trying to cover it up or a second perpetrator, the people will know what the Democratic Party is doing." I will not believe the promises of reflection and renewal.”
Former Chairman Park said, "There are two paths in front of the Democratic Party right now." "One is the road of innovation. It is a way to punish our comrades for their mistakes and to reach out to the people. The other is the way of the fandom. The way to get it," he said.
He added, "Today, the Ethics Judge's decision regarding Rep. Choi Kang-wook will determine which path the Democratic Party will take."
He also said, "(The Democratic Party) fell into a bulletproof fandom that embraces arrogance and crime, and turned away from the will of the people to reflect and be born again, and provided the cause of the electoral defeat," he said.
