Democratic Party: "Park Hyung-jun is not a cold city man but a rough city man... Kim Jong-in must make a decision"

[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] The Democratic Party has called for a decisive action from Kim Jong-in, the Emergency Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, regarding allegations related to Park Hyung-jun, the People Power Party candidate for Busan mayor.

On the 21st, Park Jin-young, spokesperson for the Democratic Party Central Election Countermeasures Committee, stated, "People hate politics because of candidate Park," and urged, "We call for Chairman Kim's decisive action."

Spokesperson Park said, "When former lawmaker Lee Eon-ju criticized candidate Park, who has a cold urban man image, I thought it was harsh for an intra-party primary," adding, "But seeing recent media coverage filled with allegations ranging from the LCT apartment to his remarried wife and children, it turns out there was a reason for it all." He continued, "He was not a cold urban man but a 'kado-nam' (a man who reveals layers as you peel), with suspicions remaining no matter how much you uncover."

He pointed out, "(Candidate Park) learned politics under former President Lee Myung-bak, and since then, he has the most comprehensive set of allegations in history," adding, "Even if he is elected, he is involved in suspicions of National Intelligence Service surveillance as a public relations officer of the Lee Myung-bak administration, so he will likely be unable to work properly during his term due to investigations."

Spokesperson Park argued, "If such a person is elected, it itself is a crisis for democracy," and claimed, "Politics of hatred and irresponsibility leads to a situation where the people do not recognize delegated power."

He said, "Chairman Kim has worked hard for conservative reform, but this nomination was very wrong," and suggested, "Wouldn't it be better to have him resign and find a proper candidate for the mayoral election to be held in a year?"
