Lim Hyeok-baek removes obstruction in the process of forming party opinions, revives ‘fascism’ dominated by national party members and local lawmakers
Lim Hyeok-baek, chairman of the Democratic Party's official committee, said that 40 people agreed to the arrest of Lee Jae-myeong due to 'excessive democracy' and announced the revival of the 'fascist system' by operating the system of national party members with the strategy of 'removing opponents in the process of adopting the party platform'.
Chairman Lim stated in the ‘Kyunghyang Shinmun’ that the decision to ‘dismiss Park Yong-jin’s retrial alone’ was ‘applied to the appeal of the party rules’, but the party rules clearly stated that it was ‘the authority of the retrial committee’, which appears to be a violation of the party rules.
Regarding the Democratic Party in particular, Chairman Lim said, “Democratic excess has occurred,” and added, “Isn’t there as many as 40 people who voted in favor of the motion to arrest the party leader to send him to prison? There is a thing called discipline in political parties. “The problem is that the members of the National Assembly are acting as they please,” he said, switching to a political party system with a nomination criterion that prioritizes “discipline” over the party’s platform.
Chairman Lim said on the 26th, “The media should not unilaterally listen only to non-group positions. He said, “We made nominations that fit the public’s expectations,” and “replaced 7 out of 8 places in Gwangju with high political awareness,” and changed “strong party member” to “people,” saying, “the citizens of Gwangju say thank you,” and focused on representative lawyer Lee in Gwangju. nominated.
In an exclusive interview with the 'Kyunghyang Shinmun', he said that Gwangju citizens were 'grateful for being eliminated from active duty' and used 'the people' as a strategy for 'removing constituency members by national party members' in 'selection of candidates eliminated from the primary based on the public's perspective' and 'complementing the post-election system'. By formalizing it, the political system of 'lawmaker domination' by hard-core party members was revived in the fascist party system.
Chairman Lim repeatedly defined 'the media as the enemy', deliberately altered the 'nationwide party members' applied by the diplomatic committee to 'citizens' applied by the media, and intensively attacked the party's media surveillance function, saying, "The media was at fault." Democracy was destroyed.
He said, “Aren’t the groups that the media defends the members of the National Assembly who want to spend their entire lives worrying only about the achievements in democratization?” He added, “Gwangju citizens, who have the highest political awareness in Korea, say they are grateful to Lim Hyuk-baek’s diplomatic committee, saying they did a great job. He explained the reason for his ‘attack on the media’ by saying, “That is the public’s expectations, but is the media doing its job if it is paying attention to politicians with vested interests?”
In response to the question, ‘Why did the chairman alone dismiss Rep. Park’s application for reconsideration without a meeting of the diplomatic committee?’, Chairman Lim responded, “At the second general meeting of the diplomatic committee, all authority regarding notification of the bottom 20% and processing of objections was delegated to the chairman of the diplomatic committee, and the party regulations “When processing an appeal, if there is no obvious procedural defect, it will be dismissed, so I dismissed all of those I appealed to,” he responded.
The Democratic Party's rules, ‘Section 5 Public Official Election Candidate Recommendation Reexamination Committee’, are defined in Article 25 (Duties and Authority). In this case, it is clearly stated that the Central Party Review Committee is in charge, so the review committee should take charge.
On the other hand, the party regulations stipulate that for the Public Officials Committee, <Article 17 (Duties and Authority) ① The Nomination Management Committee manages and supervises matters related to the overall recommendation of candidates for public office elections> and <② The Nomination Management Committee shall monitor the fairness and integrity of the selection process for candidates for public office elections. In order to increase efficiency, Chairman Lim violated party regulations by stipulating that subcommittees and necessary organizations may be established by resolution of the committee, thereby granting only management and supervision authority.
Democratic Party Kang-gyu <Article 8 (Objection Processing Committee) ① In order to process objections to the preliminary candidate qualification review, a preliminary candidate qualification review objection processing committee is established in the Central Party and city/provincial parties.> Initially, only regarding the 'qualification review'. This applies, and Chairman Lim is guilty of intentional negligence.
Article 9 (Objection) stipulates that <① If the party applying for the preliminary candidate qualification review has an objection to the results of the qualification review, the application is made to the Central Party Objection Processing Committee for the National Assembly election within 48 hours from the time of the announcement of the review result.>
Regarding Rep. Park Yong-jin's elimination, he said, "Rep. Park Yong-jin is a solitary man and his legislative activity score is very low. He is considered a congressman who does not tend to act cooperatively with fellow lawmakers in adopting the party line." Blocking other opinions during the ‘adoption process’ was announced as a criterion for selecting those who were eliminated.
In response to the question, “The Morality Verification Subcommittee agreed to give candidate Yang Moon-seok a morality score of 0, and it was claimed that Chairman Lim pushed for candidate Yang’s participation in the primary without discussion,” he responded, “I am sure that the majority did not give 0 points.” “There was no suggestion that candidate Yang Moon-seok should not be given the opportunity to run in the primary,” he said, avoiding system nomination by substituting “opinion” in the member score evaluation system.
Candidate Yang declared his candidacy for the constituency on June 5 last year, saying, “I am going to fight against Jeon Hae-cheol, the root and stem of the watermelon, and the watermelon itself. We will root out ‘Watermelon’, the anti-reform force that is fatal to the Democratic Party. “I will break the watermelon itself,” he said.
Accordingly, the Dog Daughters announced on social media, ‘We are going to rob Jeon Hae-cheol at Subak’s headquarters’ and ‘Miss Moon-seok Yang, the mission is to defeat Hae-churi at Sangnok-gap in Ansan.’
On November 29, the Democratic Party's Ethics Tribunal suspended Candidate Yang from his party position for three months and granted him the right to run in the general election for using the term 'Subak' (on the outside, the Democratic Party on the outside, the People Power Party on the inside) to Rep. Jeon Hae-cheol, a local rival, for using the term 'Subak' (on the outside, the Democratic Party, on the inside, the People Power Party) for five months. It was decided that Representative Lee cooperated with Candidate Yang.
Candidate Yang, who is the representative leader of the Democratic Party's watermelon attack among the dog daughters of Lee's representative body, borrowed 1.1 billion won from Daegu Saemaeul Geumgo as a business loan for his children, who are college students in 2021, and purchased an expensive apartment in Seoul worth 4 billion won 8 months ago. It was revealed to the media that “real estate introduced (the loan),” making the ‘institution’ responsible for arranging the loan the key to external intervention.
In particular, he responded to a question about candidate Yang Moon-seok, saying, "He made remarks such as 'watermelon', 'garbage', and 'dung' to the opposition within the party." When a member of the diplomatic committee asked candidate Yang, "Can I say something rude like watermelon?" he responded, "I wasn't talking about animals, I was talking about plants." He replied, “I just talked about it,” and confirmed that candidate Yang Moon-seok won the nomination despite his “disparaging questioning of the diplomatic committee.”
In response to a question criticizing the nomination, he stated that he would maintain a monopoly system for elections by saying, “After accepting it, we will prepare supplementary measures after the election.”
He said that he absolved himself of responsibility for Representative Lee Jae-myung's 'defeat in the presidential election' by "staying in seclusion for several months", and regarding former Minister Choo Mi-ae's 'responsibility for winning the presidency due to the rise in popularity due to the failure to discipline Yoon Seok-yeol', he said, "It is a trap of the media" and "It is a trap of the media." “I just said it, but I don’t understand why they say it’s bad,” he countered.
He said, “I don’t know how the evaluation committee was composed,” and “There is discipline in political parties (omitted), but the National Assembly members are acting as they want (omitted), so they are saying that reform was not possible with 180 seats,” he said in an interview with ‘42.5% Replacement with New Faces’. As stated in , Representative Lee laughed in front of reporters right after his optimism for incumbent office came out and used 'we' for the first time on social media in support of the campaign, saying, "We, the Democratic Party of Korea's National Assembly members."
The ‘intervention’ of external organizations appears to be a new issue in the process of controlling ‘excessive party democracy’ through nomination through ‘discipline.’
Article 3 of the Democratic Party's constitution states that "party democracy will be realized through the separation of powers between political parties and decentralization of power between the central party and city/provincial parties."
Regarding the reason he became chairman of the diplomatic committee, Chairman Lim said, “CEO Jae-myung Lee called me on December 28 last year while I was staying at my daughter’s house in the United States. He said, “After thinking about it, I accepted.”
