Yesterday (14th), I told you the story of the victim of the sexual harassment case of former Busan Mayor Oh Keo-don. Ahead of the Busan mayor's by-election, which was held due to Mayor Oh's resignation, the politicians at the time promised to prepare countermeasures for the victims. However, it has been confirmed that the promise has not been kept even after half a year has passed.

On March 17, just before the 4.7 by-election, the Democratic Party of Korea sent an official letter to former Busan Mayor Oh Keo-don, a victim of sexual harassment, apologizing for the secondary damage.



Nearly a year has passed since the incident, but they promised to investigate the facts and come up with countermeasures, saying that the measures were insufficient.



However, when the election was over, there was no news.



Even when the victim contacted us, our officials only responded, “There is no person in charge” or “confirming”.



On July 13, four months after receiving the official document, the impatient victim sent another letter to the Democratic Party and asked about the 'promise at the time of the election'.



Only then, Rep. Kwon In-suk, who is the head of the Gender Violence Report Center in the Democratic Party, came to the victim's side and confessed, "There was a problem with the takeover, and the investigation was not underway."



Regarding the second persecution, it was explained that there was nothing the party could do because the suspects were not members of the party.



[Kwon In-suk/Director of the Democratic Party's Gender Violence Report Counseling Center (victim's phone call): It's very clear that the second offense was done, so I was thinking about making a suggestion about how to take the accusation action from the (victim's side) squadron or something like that. ] It



was also the power of the people that broke promises during the election.



On March 24, just before the re-election, the People's Power sent an official letter to the victims and declared follow-up measures, including the so-called 'Observation Prevention Act'.



However, the bill was only referred to the relevant standing committee and was not even properly discussed.



Shortly after the incident last year, the United Future Party, the predecessor of the people's power, accused the victim of violating the Public Official Election Act, prolonging the investigation and increasing the suffering of the victim.



[Victim (voice band): 10 hours, 12 hours under investigation.

Everyone around me has their cell phones confiscated and searched.

I am a victim, so why do I have to be investigated?] After the



SBS report, the Democratic Party said that it would clarify the rules to eradicate the second perpetrator, and the people's power pledged to do their best to pass the Oh Keo-don Prevention Act.



The victim said that he no longer wanted a mere apology, saying that he wanted to receive punishment for those who did wrong and to return to his daily life.
