[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Na Kyung-won, former floor leader of the Liberty Korea Party, who declared her candidacy for the Seoul mayoral by-election, stated on the 15th regarding the court's recognition of the late Park Won-soon's sexual harassment charges, "The content was truly shocking," and added, "I can only feel sorry, imagining how much fear and shame the victim must have felt."


On the same day, Na posted on Facebook, "Is the Democratic Party of Korea really determined to field a candidate for the Seoul mayoral election?" and said, "Their shamelessness is beyond belief."


Na said, "They referred to the clear victim of a criminal act as a 'complainant.' These are the very people who constantly shout about women's rights and gender equality. They have committed insane acts blinded by partisan logic," and added, "If they have even a shred of conscience, they should kneel and apologize to the victim and the public."


Na emphasized, "Under the Seoul City Hall led by Na Kyung-won, such horrific sexual crimes will never occur," and stated, "We will launch a thorough audit and truth investigation into the sexual harassment charges against former Mayor Park. This is not something to be covered up by a sloppy or exculpatory investigation. Especially, whether the close associates' complicity and tacit approval occurred must be perfectly uncovered to establish effective measures to prevent recurrence."



Na continued, "At least in Seoul City Hall, we will completely eradicate sexual crimes with a strong will to prevent recurrence and thoroughly block secondary harm by preparing delicate policies," and said, "We will introduce a system to prevent private contacts that make others uncomfortable and unfair work orders. Regarding sexual harassment and sexual assault, we will impose the strongest disciplinary actions under a zero-tolerance policy. Excuses like 'I didn't know' or 'Please forgive me just this once' will not be accepted."
