“He is rushing to avoid issues in the presidential and local elections, and he is also an accomplice to the power of the nation, blindfolded by the people”
On the 8th, the Democratic Party of Korea (Democratic Party) evaluated that the decision of the People’s Power Central Ethics Committee to ‘suspend party membership for 6 months’ once morest CEO Lee Jun-seok, who was accused of destroying evidence of sexual abuse, was a “self-defeating decision”.
Shin Hyun-young, spokesperson for the Democratic Party, said in a commentary on the same day, “Severe punishment is natural in light of the heaviness of the position as the leader of the ruling party and the quality of the allegations raised.”
However, spokesperson Shin pointed out, “The allegations of sexual abuse by Chairman Lee still have not been labeled as ‘suspicious’.
He emphasized that “not only President Lee, who was severely punished, but also the people’s power to evade a key judgment should be condemned to the people.”
The People’s Power Ethics Committee criticized Lee for not making a separate judgment on the allegation of sexual abuse, which was not the subject of disciplinary review, while actually acknowledging the allegation of destruction of evidence related to the alleged sexual abuse of CEO Lee.
Spokesperson Shin said, “The people’s power was in a hurry to avoid this issue during the presidential and local elections, and they blindfolded the public.”
He continued, “It makes it clear that the people’s power is also an accomplice in this case, apart from this representative disciplinary action, such as the public party’s responsibility and morality to the people are thoroughly ignored in all processes until a severe disciplinary action is taken.” We demand an apology and reflection,” he added.
