I thought I was diligent, but what we thought was the answer failed, so we have to find a more fundamental solution.”
“In fact, not only labor, but also gender equality is the right of the Justice Party and the identity of the Progressive Party. I also worked as a female politician and female party member, and I felt that’our fence is safe in its own way’, but it seems all misunderstood.

Rep. Ryu explained that the fact that he did not file a criminal complaint was “the victim wanted to resolve the community, and respect for the victim’s opinion is the most important principle, so we did that.” “Even if the perpetrator is the party representative, he said, “Because he is the party representative, the Justice Party has the belief that the Justice Party will deal with the case in a more determined manner, so he informed him of the damage.” He said, “At least that expectation and trust will be kept.” Promised.
