Candidate Jung Young-ae, Minister of Gender Equality and Family, stated that it is difficult to view the controversy over the condolences on mother-in-law of former Chungnam Governor Ahn Hee-jeong as a’second offense’ against the victim. Candidate Jung’s remarks contradict the opinion of women’s organizations that “second abuse is correct,” and controversy is expected.
Candidate Chung said, “It is a matter related to the culture of expressing condolences in Korea,” when Rep. Yang Geum-hee asked about the controversy over the controversy over Governor Ahn’s condolences at his personnel hearing held at the National Assembly on the 24th.
Candidate Jung explained the concept of secondary offense, “according to the law, secondary offense is limited to the act of condemning or allowing the victim to be specified, or the act of disclosing the victim’s identity and information.”
He added, “So it can be said that the definition of secondary damage and these things should be changed flexibly in the future, but I have a little doubt as to whether this is the first case (condolence to the mother of the Governor Ahn Jeon).
In July, when Governor Ahn, who was serving a sentence for sexual violence against an attendant secretary, was incarcerated with his mother injured, a second inflict controversy arose as a parade of condolences by political figures continued in the vacant place. President Moon Jae-in did not visit the slum, but sent a harmony with the words’President Moon Jae-in’.
It is interpreted that the direction of Candidate Jung’s response to the condolences of former governor Ahn’s mother’s statue is different from that of showing that’even a friend of mine is speaking’ at hearings.
Regarding the allegations of sexual harassment by former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon and former Busan Mayor Oh Geo-don, he said, “I agree that it is a power-type sex crime,” while a remark from a candidate Byeon Chang-heum of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, saying,’Women are reluctant to eat breakfast with strangers because of makeup.’ He also mentioned that “it is inappropriate because it contains prejudice against women.”
In addition, he criticized the book of Tak Hyeon-min, the Blue House medical secretary, who had been on the cutting board with a disrespectful remark of a woman, saying, “I think it is not appropriate as a distorted sexual consciousness.”
Regarding women’s demands that Secretary Tak should be withdrawn, he expressed his willingness to convey related opinions to the president in the future, saying, “It is not appropriate to respond to the personnel of the presidential secretary’s office.”
