On the 29th, Park Jae-ho, a member of the Democratic Party, said at the site Supreme Council meeting held in Busan City Hall that it was “pathetic” to the citizens of Busan. Rep. Park said, “For the past 28 years, the power of the people has taken over all the governments in Busan,” he said. “There is a talk that Busan may fall quickly, like the story that the city will fall in the order of cherry blossoms.” He added, “People in Busan watched too many Cho, Joong, and Dong (Chosun, Joongang, and Dong-A Ilbo), TV Chosun, and Channel A, so it’s pitiful how they only worry about the country.” Rep. Park is the chairman of the Busan City Party Committee.
Criticism came from the opposition party, saying, “Apologize immediately for civil insult.”
In a commentary on the day, spokesman Bae Joon-young said, “The Democratic Party, which made the election due to the sexual harassment of former Mayor Oh Geo-don, demeaned Busan and insulted the citizens because it was not too shameless to give up the candidate.” Apologize.” In a statement in the name of Rep. Hee-gon Kim (Dongnae, Busan), the Busan City Party said, “We blame Busan citizens for their incompetence and immorality as they would not be enough even if they commit a grave crime.” said.
From the previous day, the karate of controversy has completely changed.
Earlier, Congressman Cho Su-jin claimed that Democratic Party lawmaker Goh Kohn Jung-jeong received government support during the general election last year and said, “Even if a concubine in the Joseon Dynasty gave birth to a prince, he would not have received such treatment.” As controversy became intensifying, such as the accusation of insults by the late Rep. Go, on the 28th, through Facebook, Rep. Cho apologized, saying, “I am sorry that my criticism was controversial unlike its original purpose.” However, the controversy surrounding Congressman Cho, such as blocking reporters from questioning related questions, has not easily subsided.
On the 27th, the remarks of former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, a preliminary candidate for the Mayor of the People’s Power of Seoul, were on the cutting board. Mayor Oh appeared on a YouTube channel and described Gwangjin-eul, Seoul, which was his district at the time of the general election last year, saying, “There are many Korean-Chinese people from certain regions, 3040 generations, and naturalized Koreans, most of whom are pro-Democratic propensities.” . Criticism was poured out as “Ilbe politician who is hateful (Democratic Party Member Woo Sang-ho)” and “one who does not have the qualifications to run (Democratic Party Member Chung Cheong-rae)”.
Each party is concerned that it will lose its vote because of the dead ends. In particular, the opposition champions are reminiscent of the painful experience of losing the votes in the middle of the last year’s general election due to the end of the Sewol ferry.
On the 29th, Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Power Emergency Countermeasures Committee, asked a reporter’s question about’Rep. Cho Su-jin’s concubine remarks. I don’t think those who are talking will ever come out of the election process again.”
