Furthermore, when the Democratic Party leadership decided to oust Representative Kim Hong-geol, who was caught by suspicion of omission of property reports on the 18th, an “unexpected” reaction emerged within the opposition party and the Democratic Party. When Representative Nak-yeon Lee expelled Congressman Kim two days after launching the Party’s ethics inspection team, it was said that “I organized Congressman Kim as a military operation.” Representative Kim is the youngest son of former President Kim Dae-jung, founder of the current Democratic Party. Furthermore, it was President Moon Jae-in who recruited Kim for the Democratic Party. For this reason, not only the opposition party but also some of the ruling party expressed doubts that the Democratic Party leadership would open a withdrawal so that it could maintain the position of Congress while blocking the flames of suspicion towards Congressman Kim.
Representative Lee Nak-yeon held an emergency meeting of the Supreme Council this afternoon and decided to expel Representative Kim. All senior committee members unanimously agreed. It was the reason the party’s dignity was undermined by the controversy over having multiple houses. The disciplinary action for the expulsion of Congressman Kim was carried out at the request of the Party’s ethics inspection team, which became operational on the 16th in accordance with Lee’s commitment to the convention. In fact, Representative Lee made Representative Kim the subject of disciplinary action for Ethics Inspectorate No. 1. Within a month of Lee’s inauguration, suspicions arose around Judge Choo Mi-ae and representatives Yoon Mi-hyang and Lee Sang-jik. The failure of Representative Kim to provide a clear explanation for the allegations is known to have influenced the decision to fire.
In the morning of the morning, when Representative Han-jeong Kim, former secretary of former President Kim, publicly demanded Representative Kim’s decision, it was said that there would be some action within the Democratic Party regarding the promotion of Congressman Kim. Representative Kim, who served as the Blue House’s first subsidiary during Kim Dae-jung’s administration, told Representative Kim Hong-geol in a Facebook post, “It is not a shower that can be avoided if you wait.” Referring to the case that Representative Kim Hong-geol 18 years ago was imprisoned for accepting money and goods after being implicated in the ‘Choi Gyu-seon Gate’, he said: “I still have not forgotten the president’s state of discouragement and shock. at that moment”. It was interpreted to mean retiring from the parliamentary office position, not blaming the former president of Kim. There was also a comment on Kim’s Facebook post, saying: “It seems there has been a coordination in the central part of the passport to cut off his hand.”
It is known that Donggyo Winter, a group of tutors of former President Kim, also directly or indirectly conveyed the meaning of “it would be better to retire from the office of parliament” to Congressman Kim. An official from Donggyo Donggye said: “It is a problem that property that has not been reported to the NEC or the Ministry of State Enterprises is also a problem, but it was more serious than Representative Kim, who had never had that job before. becoming a member of parliament, he could not clearly explain the property formation process. ” “There were many opinions that it would be right to reject the position of parliament before the situation was further raised,” he said. It is said that there were concerns that there could be a spark of fire even with former President Kim, who continues to lead the situation without resolving the suspicions.
However, there is also the view that it is difficult to easily convince Congressman Kim, son of former President Kim, that the leader of the Democratic Party and members of the East Asian Union have demanded his resignation from office. Furthermore, it was President Moon who initiated him into politics. Representative Kim participated in the 2012 presidential elections and in 2016 he served as chairman of the Democratic Party National Integration Committee. As of November 2017, after the election of President Moon, he served as representative of the National Council for Reconciliation and National Cooperation (Popular Association), for which he was nominated for proportional representatives during the last general elections. Lee Nak-yeon, who spearheaded the firing decision, mainly covered Donggyo Winter as a reporter in the political department of a newspaper, and was considered a reporter who loved former President Kim.
For this reason, both the opposition party and the Democratic Party said: “Is it not possible to open a retreat to Congressman Kim by borrowing the form of expulsion?” Proportional representatives lose their position if they voluntarily retire, but if they are expelled, they can keep their position. There is a view that it is also strange that the decision to oust the Democratic Party’s ethics inspection team, which was released on the 16th, even before the full-scale investigation of Congressman Kim was done. In a comment, spokesman Bae Hyun-jin said in a comment: “What discipline is staying on the same side except for the name of the party list due to the dismissal that is not related to the councilman’s position?” did. Justice Party spokesman Cho Hye-min also said in a comment: “Representative Kim should step down from his post in parliament alone, not to criticize his father’s honor with his ugly appearance.”
