The two women’s organizations responding to the case of former Busan Park Won-soon mayor, former Seoul Mayor Oh Geo-don, made a joint statement and condemned the Democratic Party, which initiated the procedure to review the party’s constitution. .
The Mayor of Seoul, the Mayor of Forced Sexual Violence Incident Joint Action and the Ogeodon Sexual Violence Incident Joint Countermeasures Committee, read a statement at the debate on the Ogeodon sexual violence incident held in the assembly hall from Busan City Hall on the afternoon of the 30th, “ Drawing the daily lives of victims beyond the Metoo movement ”
In a statement, the two groups stated: “The existing provisions were the minimum device for party-level reflection and prevention of the repetition of ‘the faults of elected officials’, but the Democratic Party said:’ It is the duty of the public party responsible for being judged by citizens through the nomination of candidates’. Although we insist, we are in the process of reviewing the party’s constitution without any reflection. “In addition, the Democratic Party does not have a fundamental reflection or responsible countermeasures in the case of sexual violence by the elected local head of government, there is no deterrence or effort to stop secondary damage, there are no efforts to improve the social environment to return to the daily life of the victims, It is showing a state of rush to create “.
The two groups suggested that the Democratic leadership should stop the process of revising the party’s constitution. Furthermore, the Democratic Party leadership should immediately halt the process of reviewing the Party’s constitution, and that “assuming our responsibilities to resolve the case and prevent it from happening again, the Mayor of Busan and the Mayor of Seoul assume responsibility of reelection ”. Earlier, the Democratic Party decided to run a candidate for the Seoul-Busan mayoral by-election in April next year, and decided to hold a vote of former party members to ask whether to amend the party’s constitution for this. In accordance with the current party constitution, if the position is lost due to an elected official belonging to the party, it has been decided not to recommend a candidate to the corresponding constituency in reelection or in by-elections.
