Lee Nak-yeon, representative of the Democratic Party, is chatting with Park Tae-nyeon Kim at the General Assembly of the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 29th. 2020.10.29 / News1 © News1 In addition, the Democratic Party has rescinded its “no-nomination” promise and is in fact pushing for nominations for mayoral elections in Seoul and Busan.
Not only the strength of the people, but also the Justice Party, which pointed out that the decision of the chairman of the Democratic Party, Lee Nak-yeon, was “unnatural”, but the Democratic Party seems to persuade the people by emphasizing the need to a nomination without a direct answer.
In addition, the Democratic Party will hold a vote of party members until 6 p.m. on the 1st, asking if it will nominate the mayors of Seoul and Busan next year.
The plan is to nominate candidates for mayor of Seoul and Busan after the party’s constitution is reviewed when the conclusion is made by a vote of former party members. Many point out that voting for Democratic Party members who are very loyal to the Party is actually trying to establish a justification as “the result of gathering the will of the party members” after actually making a decision.
Article 96 (2) of the Constitution of the Democratic Party Party states that “ if an elected official belonging to the party loses his position due to a serious error, such as a case of corruption, and is forced to carry out a reelection or a By-election, no candidate will be recommended to the corresponding constituency. ”
This provision was made by the Party’s Innovation Committee in 2015, when President Moon Jae-in was the chairman of the New Democratic Political Federation (the former Democratic Party). At that time, former Justice Minister Cho Kook also participated in the Party’s Innovation Committee.
For this reason, all opposition parties criticized the Democratic Party for failing to deliver on its promises.
On the 29th, Kim Jong-in, head of the People’s Power Emergency Countermeasures Committee, told the Democratic Party, saying: “If they (the Democratic Party) have reasons to trust themselves in the Party Constitution and the Party regulations will not give candidates. “
Ho-young Joo, head of the People’s Power, said: “We do all kinds of unconsciousness. There must be a punishment, ”he harshly criticized the Democratic Party.
Justice Party Chief Executive Kim Jong-cheol, who called for the Democratic Party’s non-nomination, also said: “I doubt and regret that it is desirable for the leadership to take responsibility for party members rather than take responsibility. of the problem”.
In response, the Democratic Party is not responding to opposition criticism one by one, and is actively appealing to party members saying that next year’s elections are a preliminary war for the presidential elections.
In addition, he refrains from responding with emotion to the harsh criticism of the opposition party and affirms the legitimacy of the nomination.
The reason the Democratic Party put out a card called the vote of former party members after hard work is not irrelevant to the future political calendar.
Next year’s elections have been considered a bridgehead for the next presidential elections. The general view of the Democratic Party is that skipping the path to the presidential election from the perspective of the ruling party is “unimaginable.”
A key Democratic Party official said in News 1 and in the call that day: “We are well aware that the fact that the reverse of the Party constitution in the opposite direction is causing revulsion, except for party supporters. It’s our job to convince him. “
Consequently, the Democratic Party encourages them to actively participate in the voting of party members, which will ensure the legitimacy of the nomination for the elections.
Representative Lee Nak-yeon said on Twitter the day before (October 31): “From 10 am today until 6 pm tomorrow, a vote will be held by party members for the nomination of candidates for the reelection next year through the revision of the party constitution. ” Delegates and members of the rights party who voted in the competition request to participate through online voting via the website and the Democratic Party app. “
Representative Park Bum-gye from the same party said, “Please participate. “We are the Democrats” and shared a photo of the voting certification. Bucheon Mayor Jang Deok-cheon also shared a photo of the voting certification, saying, “This is a very important vote and requires active participation.”
Former legislator Lee Seok-hyun from the same party said: “I am sorry to ask for a by-election” and appealed: “We will recover as a responsible party by deeply reflecting on its own shortcomings.”
