The late Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon, who was criticized for the secondary damage of the victims of sexual violence, and Democratic Party lawmaker Park Young-sun resigned as a spokesman for the Seoul Mayor’s Election Countermeasures Committee apologizing to the victims.
On the 18th, Congressman Ko said on Facebook on the 18th, “I have been constantly thinking about how to heal the victim’s pain for the past few months.”
“As a woman, as a female politician, as a mother, I have spent countless days thinking about how to comfort the pain that I had to take care of together. At what point and in what way I should convey my apology.
But today I say this. I bow my head and apologize for causing the victim to suffer through my wrong thoughts. I sincerely hope that the victim’s daily life can be restored and that they can escape from these painful days. I hope to meet you in person and convey your sincerity.”
He also said, “I will drop my job as a spokesman for Park Young-sun’s camp.” At the beginning of the case, it is known that Democratic women lawmakers expressed their opinion that it is too early to define the victim as a victim in the process of making a statement by expressing the victim as a’victim complainant’. However, not only the names of female lawmakers, but also representatives Lee Hae-chan at the time used the name’affected person’, and voices from inside and outside the Democratic Party were raised asking,’Is the victim really the victim?’ Eventually, the victim’s personal information was revealed, and the second attack became serious.
On the other hand, candidate Park Young-sun said on Facebook about 11 hours later, “I will carry everything on my back” when the victim asked for a clear apology at the level of himself and the party at a press conference the day before and the blame for the second offender (related article: I said, “I’ll carry everyone”… but the colorless and odorless Park Young-sun’s apology http://omn.kr/1sh8h ). Justice Party spokesman Cho Hye-min criticized at a briefing on the 18th, “Candidate Young-seon Park, you had to come up with a clear position at the party level about how you would carry it.”
Candidate Park, who met with the reporters after the announcement of the regional pledge in Gwanak-gu, Seoul, answered the related question, “I really thought about it yesterday,” and “I think it is the most difficult thing to carry on my shoulders.” He added, “Isn’t it impossible to judge the situation that comes out now and then conveys your sincerity?”
