Additionally, the Democratic Party plans to decide whether or not to discipline lawmaker Lee Sang-jik, who is at the center of the controversy over the Eastar Jet mass firing, at least before Chuseok.
As the party considers the situation to be more serious than MP Kim Hong-geol, who was expelled on suspicion of property speculation, the opinion is said to prevail that at least, like MP Kim, she should be expelled.
Reporter Han Yeon-hee reports.
[기자]Since the lightning ouster from the Democratic Party of Rep. Hong-geol Kim, the number one investigation subject of the Ethics Inspectorate, the following attention has focused on Rep. Lee Sang-jik, the number one investigation subject.
The Democratic Party’s Ethics Inspectorate is investigating the extent to which Legislator Lee is connected to the Eastar Jet mass firing and back wages issue.
Currently, it is reported that Congressman Lee has already dedicated his involvement to doing his best and claims that he has no legal responsibility.

This is because the mass layoffs of more than 600 people and back wages amounting to 25 billion won are far from the employment government and Moon Jae-in government, which declared a great emphasis on work. .

There is no disagreement that the political burden falls on the Democratic Party, even if the legal judgment is later passed by the judiciary.
Another important thing here is the timing of the disciplinary decision.
It is because of the trial that he was able to do so after doubting in a situation in which public opinion was supported by a quick decision against Congressman Kim Hong-geol.
Therefore, conclusions can be drawn before Chuseok at the latest, by the end of this week.
This seems to have taken into account the “public sentiment of the head of the table” anyway, even if it is not Chuseok where all the family and friends gather as before.
It is also analyzed that there is a judgment that it is necessary to shake up the controversy within the party as soon as possible to empower the people in the offensive against the representative Park Deok-heum.
