Min Hyung-bae: "I Will Repay with Judgment on Old-Style Politics and Clean Politics"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Following the press conference held by preliminary candidate Park Sijong regarding the Democratic Party re-election in Gwangsan-gu (Eul), Gwangju Metropolitan City, preliminary candidate Min Hyungbae also announced his position.

Preliminary candidate Min held a press conference on the 10th and stated, "I will judge the old practices and illegal acts and repay with a clean victory."

He said, "The decision for a re-election is a very rare case, and it is a decision that the central party could make because it was convinced of preliminary candidate Park's illegal and unfair acts," adding, "This is not a refusal to accept the primary results but a correction of illegal and unfair acts."

He continued, "The number of party members with voting rights acquired by Park's side is 1,413, which is a huge scale that can be overturned anytime, even if it is a close race or a significant lead," and explained, "The Re-examination Committee conveyed to the Supreme Council a re-election method that imposes penalties on preliminary candidate Park, but the Supreme Council decided on the re-election method in the same way as before, excluding the 'contaminated' 1,413 members."

He also argued, "It is difficult to accept that the Supreme Council acknowledged the illegal and unfair competition but did not impose emergency disciplinary actions."

He emphasized, "Preliminary candidate Park seriously undermined the fairness of the primary and destroyed the sovereignty of 1,413 party members with voting rights," adding, "The responsibility for the serious unfair acts that distorted party sentiment and public opinion and made the sovereign voters and competing candidates victims lies with preliminary candidate Park."

He added, "During this primary process, I never slandered the opposing candidate, but this time, for the precious voting rights of Gwangju citizens and their judgment, I am revealing this," and added, "Avoiding TV debates, using illegally obtained party member lists, and being the ultimate example of old-fashioned politics that drove under the influence after the enactment of the Yoon Chang-ho Act is preliminary candidate Park Sijong."
