Democratic Party Daegu City Chapter "Opposes Jeong Jang-su's Appointment as Deputy Mayor of Economy" ... "Inappropriate to Appoint Official Under Police Investigation"

The Democratic Party Daegu City Committee has expressed its opposition to the nomination of Jeong Jang-su as Daegu City Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs.

In a statement released on the 15th, the Democratic Party Daegu City Committee stated, "Elected public officials can autonomously manage personnel and budgets during their terms. This is the spirit of our constitution and the social agreement of the Republic of Korea, which has adopted representative democracy." They added, "However, it is not appropriate to appoint someone under police investigation for violating the Public Official Election Act to a high-ranking public office just because the mayor wishes to do so. The appointment of Jeong Jang-su as Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs is a highly inappropriate personnel decision."

The Democratic Party Daegu City Committee further stated, "Jeong Jang-su, the nominee for Daegu City Deputy Mayor for Economic Affairs, is currently under police investigation for violating the Public Official Election Act. Prior to this, the Daegu City Election Commission also completed its investigation and forwarded the investigation materials to the Daegu Police Agency. This issue was raised during the National Assembly inspection of the Daegu Police Agency, and they said they would promptly conclude the investigation."

The Democratic Party Daegu City Committee continued, "Jeong Jang-su, who played a certain role as the head of the public relations office during the early term of Mayor Hong Joon-pyo, was involved in tangible and intangible control over the Daegu media. Like a military operation, he caused various controversies and cannot be free from responsibility for the disturbances in Daegu City."

The Democratic Party Daegu City Committee added, "Anyway, Mayor Hong is someone who does not listen to others. Let him do as he pleases. However, there will be many unstable issues ahead. Furthermore, with the arrival of the advancing Lee Jun-seok, it is the way of the world that the back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave. Nevertheless, the remaining three years will be a great concern for Daegu City. This is regrettable."
