Money was sprinkled on the main hall of the Gyeongnam Provincial Council, which was repeatedly criticized last year due to a conflict of distrust of the chairman.
At the first plenary session of the 382th extraordinary meeting of the Gyeongnam Provincial Council held on the 12th, the democratic party members’ personal remarks foretold conflict. On this day, Democratic Party lawmaker Song Soon-ho threw 50,000 won and 10,000 won at the end while making a new remark. The money that Senator Song sprinkled was known to be around 2 million won, and it was then collected by the provincial council staff.
Earlier, the Haman Police Department applied the charges of violating the Bribery and Political Funds Act in November of the same year, with Chairman Ha-yong Kim and 1st Vice-Chairman Jang Gyu-seok, who handed 1 million won each in the name of a marriage congratulatory money to Congressman Jong-ha Jang in June of last year before the presidency. Song Chi.
Rep. Song Soon-ho held a one-man protest in December last year calling for prosecution of Chairman Kim and Vice Chairman Jang.
In the second half of last year, the Democratic Party’s Chairman Kim and Vice-Chairman Jang ran independently of the Democratic Party during the election process in the second half of last year, claiming that the Democratic Party lawmakers undermined the fundamentals of party politics, and proposed distrust and a call for resignation. It was over and over again.
Rep. Song Soon-ho raised his voice, saying, “If you spend money and tolerate or condone winning, the monetary politics will revive, and giving money ahead of the election is an act of ticketing.
He added, “The congratulatory money delivered ahead of the election for the chairmanship was because no one looked at it, but the prosecutors urged to immediately prosecute the first vice chairman Kim Ha-yong and Jang Gyu-seok who gave the congratulatory money.”
Regarding this, Chairman Kim Ha-yong said, “We have an obligation to check and monitor the executive department for the citizens of the city as an organization called the Metropolitan Council.
Representative Jong-ha of the same party also argued that “the provincial council has been crippled since last year’s presidency election,” and “proving that political party politics and parliamentary democracy can be destroyed by individual greed.”
He said, “It is not a ticketing act that the 2 million won delivered before the election of the chairman and the congratulatory money is packaged as a congratulatory gift,” he said. “If this unpleasant thing goes over in the name of practice, the future election of the provincial council chairman and vice-chairman is not a policy and vision. It turns into a money election that requires easy spending of 10,000 won.”
