Mokpo City Council, Disruption on the First Day of the Second Half Temporary Session
Eight Non-Democratic Party Lawmakers Walk Out of Plenary Session During Speaker's Opening Remarks
[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] The Mokpo City Council opened its 360th extraordinary session on the morning of the 16th, but the session is heading toward disruption as council members from the Democratic Party, who were fined by the court last year for the imperial vaccination scandal, walked out of the plenary session, accusing the chairman of protecting them.
Eight non-Democratic Party council members, including independent Vice Chairman Choi Hong-rim, left the plenary hall while Chairman Park Chang-su was delivering the opening remarks.
They stated the reason for their walkout was, "We cannot tolerate the chairman's autocracy that prevents the formation of a special ethics committee to discipline members who violated the ethical code of conduct."

The eight non-Democratic Party members strongly demanded, "We reject the extraordinary plenary session of the Mokpo City Council, which is dominated by a majority of Democratic Party members and operated undemocratically," and insisted that "a special ethics committee should be formed to handle the disciplinary requests submitted to the city council."
