[강은미 / 정의당 원내대표]

My fellow citizens, respectable members of the party. Yesterday, we deeply apologize for the shock and concern caused by the incident of sexual harassment of our party leader, Kim Jong-cheol. The Justice Party did enough deliberation yesterday morning through a conference of delegates and members.

Then, in accordance with the party’s disciplinary procedures through a meeting of the delegation, former executive director Kim Jong-cheol appeared before the Party Central Committee and was lifted the post of representative in accordance with party regulations. As an internal representative of the party, I feel my unlimited responsibility.

First, the victim’s voice and daily routine must be reestablished both first and last. Even in the Justice Party, which tried to make a change in our society on the issue of sexual violence and human rights, the problem was revealed unfiltered.

I know very well that it has caused pain and frustration difficult to describe in words to the people who have sent unlimited interest and affection to the Justice Party. I’m sorry. Despite the constant efforts of the Justice Party, the organizational culture could not be changed. From the bottom up, we will try to cut the bones for a fundamental change.

The victim is Hye-young Jang from our group. Building on the courage of Representative Hye-young Jang and the trust in the community, we will make a complete renewal effort. The principle of the Justice Party to resolve the case according to the principle of zero tolerance, regardless of the position and position of the perpetrator, will remain unchanged.

Something that should not have happened, but we are working hard to solve it based on principles without reservation or compromise. With such painful but fierce efforts by the Justice Party, the Party will also mature and set a new standard for our society. Once again, I bow my head and apologize to all the people who have been injured by this incident.
