Furthermore, the Democratic Party decided on the 29th to nominate a candidate for the Seoul-Busan mayoral by-election in April next year, in violation of its promise to the public. It was decided to rectify the party’s constitution, which states: “If a reemployment election is held because of party officials, no candidate will be given.”
The Democratic Party made the justification: “It is a policy of responsibility to nominate candidates and be judged by the citizens.” However, the “responsibility” that the Democratic Party has put in place is convenient. This is because it is also a responsibility to keep the promise of “no nomination”, which has been firmly committed to the extent that it is inscribed in the Party Constitution. There is strong suspicion that the mayor of Seoul and Busan has changed the word ‘it is the responsibility of winning the election’ due to the political calculation that the 2022 presidential election will be disadvantaged if awarded to the opposition party.
Seoul-Busan’s mayoral by-election is being carried out through sex scandals by the late Mayor Park Won-soon, former Seoul Mayor and former Busan Mayor Oh Geo-don, who belonged to the Democratic Party.
Nak-Yeon Lee “If you don’t have a candidate, you won’t be able to choose voters”
The representative of the Democratic Party, Lee Nak-yeon, told a parliamentary assembly held in the National Assembly: “As a result of listening to opinions from inside and outside the party for a long time, I came to the idea that not giving a candidate is not the only responsible option, but to be judged by nomination is responsibility. ” He also pointed out the reason why “not being able to make a candidate is too restrictive for voters’ choices.”
Representative Lee said, “We decided to vote on whether to amend the party’s constitution, which opens the way for nominating candidates.” Enthusiastic Democrats insist that candidates must stand for mayor of Seoul-Busan. In the end, it is about getting rid of the “constitution of the non-nominated party”, which is an obstacle to the nomination, on behalf of the “decision of the party members”.
When President Lee made a decision, the revision of the Mugongcheon Party Constitution will proceed in unison. The Democratic Party revises its constitution through the Party Affairs Committee and the Central Committee after voting for two days starting on the 31st of this weekend. Voting is a method of answering yes (O) or disagree (X) to the question: “Are you in favor of the amendment to the party constitution to make a candidate?” Representative Lee said, “I apologize to the people of Korea over and over again for causing the partial election of the mayors of Seoul and Busan. In particular, I sincerely apologize to the victim. “
Democratic Party “Can not resign the mini president”
The mayoral elections in Seoul and Busan next year are called the ‘mini-presidential elections’ that will determine the 2022 presidential elections. The Democratic Party’s judgment is that the election cannot be waived even when criticized for being timid. The Democratic Party took a gesture to contemplate the revision to the effect that the constitution of the non-nominated party was a “ political reform plan ” drawn up by President Moon Jae-in in 2015 as the party’s leader.
The Democratic Party took up the same process in March before the 21 general elections, voiding its promise not to create a party dedicated to proportional representatives, and they founded the Civil Party together. Before the general election, the Democratic Party said, “It will exclude people with multiple households from the nomination,” but one in four people elected was with multiple households.
Until the Democratic Party put out an irrational number of “ no resigning any nominations, ” few other opinions emerged within the party. This is due to the climate that imposes various sanctions on “internal criticism.” Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong said in July: “In politics, trust is important. When he said, “Why are you saying that right now?” (Former president Lee Hae-chan) “Why do we have to fight in advance?” .
Former legislator Geum Tae-seop, who was called the ‘shinist’ of the Democratic Party, was sanctioned for not following the party’s argument in the voting process in the National Assembly for the establishment of a criminal investigation center for high-ranking public officials. rank, and recently retired.
Popular power “will be punished”
The opposition party criticized the “never mind” of the Democratic Party. Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Power Emergency Response Committee, met with reporters in the National Assembly and noted that “the Democratic Party has broken its promise under the Party’s Constitutional Regulations.” Ho-young Joo, the head of people’s power, said, “The conclusion is obvious when I voted for the whole party,” and said, “I do all kinds of unscrupulous things and there will be punishment.” Chief Justice Party spokesman Chung Ho-jin said: “It is unreasonable to step up to protect people’s lives without keeping your promises.”
