“So that those who want to live only on their own are no longer lonely, so noble politics should be faithful to the fundamental vocation of the realization of social solidarity. Sorry, Sergeant Hee-soo Byeon. Please refrain from and wish the deceased a blessing.”
It is a commemoration of Park Sung-min and the Democratic Party’s highest member of the 23rd, former Sergeant Byun Hee-soo, who died on the 3rd. It was the only condolence that came out of the Supreme Council of the Democratic Party held at the National Assembly on the morning of the 5th.
Supreme Commissioner Park Seong-min said, “Politics is inherently noble, because it has the realization of invisible social solidarity as its basic calling.”
He continued, “I feel a heavy responsibility for not protecting his life and dignity despite the fact that the social bystander that regards fellow citizens who exist in front of me as if they do not exist, and that the dignity of one person is being damaged. It was the days of crushing.
“Hate and discrimination cannot be justified in any case,” said Supreme Commissioner Park, “I remember the countless lives that our society has lost, and if it does not change, we may lose those who live with us for the same reason in the future.” Emphasized.
