‘Suspicion of 6 billion coins’ Kim Nam-guk withdrew from the party… Democratic Party to suspend fact-finding｜The Dong-A Ilbo

On the 14th, Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Nam-guk withdrew from the party, saying, “As an independent lawmaker, I will fight unfair political attacks to the end and uncover the truth.” It has been 9 days since the suspicion of ‘6 billion coins’ was raised. As Congressman Kim became an independent on this day, the investigation of the Democratic Party’s fact-finding team and ethics inspection team was suspended.

A key official from the party said, “With his withdrawal from the party, it can be said that all investigations and disciplinary actions at the party level are over.” Regarding this, not only the power of the people, but also within the Democratic Party, criticism of “a trick to avoid responsibility” and the demand that “regardless of withdrawal, Rep. Kim must be disciplined” continued.

Rep. Kim said on Facebook this morning that he would withdraw from the party, saying, “I decided that it was not right to burden the party and its members any longer.” He did not apologize to the public, only writing, “I am so sorry to my party members and comrades.” Representative Lee Jae-myung apologized for the first time in relation to this situation at the general assembly held at the National Assembly that day, saying, “I apologize on behalf of the party for the concern caused by our party lawmakers.”

In the screaming (Lee Jae-myeong) world, criticism continued that it was irresponsible for the party leadership to stop the fact-finding investigation on the grounds of Lee’s closest aide, Rep. Kim’s disciplinary evasion and “tricky withdrawal.” Rep. Lee Won-wook said on Facebook, “We must not accept withdrawal from the party as a trick to avoid responsibility to the people. We must stop leaving the party without reflection.” On this day, about 20 non-governmental lawmakers applied for free speech and raised a problem with the leadership’s policy to stop fact-finding, saying, “Even if you have withdrawn from the party, if there is a problem, you must continue to investigate.”

People’s Power chief spokesman Min-guk Kang said in a commentary, “Cut off the tail,” and criticized, “Former CEO Young-gil Song, Kwan-seok Yoon, Seong-man Lee, and Nam-guk Kim, the Democratic Party seems to know that withdrawal from the party is an ‘all-around cheat key’ that is exonerated.” did.
