In the Pocheon campaign, “even Seo Seung-man of the Democratic Alliance was elected”
“We created a deformed election system and even violated the law.”
“Using a microphone under the guise of a press conference…violation of regulations.”
The Clean Election Headquarters of the People Power Party’s Central Election Committee announced on the 24th that it plans to report Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act, including campaigning for candidates from other political parties and using ‘trick’ microphones.
The People Power Party’s Clean Election Headquarters said in a press notice that day, “Representative Lee Jae-myung was Seo Seung-man, proportional number 24 of the Democratic Alliance of Korea, in Pocheon City on the 23rd. “He should be elected until number 24,” he said, pointing out that even though he was a candidate running for the Democratic Party’s Gyeyang constituency, he campaigned for a candidate from another political party.”
He went on to say, “It clearly violates the Public Official Election Act,” and the Democratic Party itself has announced that it may be a violation of election law if a local candidate supports a proportional candidate from another political party.
The People Power Clean Election Headquarters said, “This was already expected when the Democratic Party passed the ‘quasi-linked proportional system’ on its own for political purposes,” and added, “It has created a deformed election system that is difficult for even the public to understand, and has even violated the current law.” “We cannot help but hold them accountable,” he argued.
The People Power Party’s Clean Election Headquarters is known to have taken the position that Representative Lee violated Article 88 of the Public Official Election Act, which stipulates that ‘candidates cannot campaign for other political parties or candidates in the same or partially overlapping constituencies.’
However, Article 88 stipulates that ‘when conducting an election campaign for a political party or candidate, a part of it leads to the election campaign of another political party or candidate, or when supporting the same political party or a recommended candidate of the same political party’ as exceptions to the application of the law. there is.
The People Power Party’s Clean Election Headquarters said, “There are charges of using trick microphones under the pretense of ‘on-site press conferences’ during local campaigns,” and “gathered large crowds at Dongtan Lake Park, Mapo in Seoul, Chonnam National University, and the central plaza of Geumneung Station in Paju, and called ‘outdoor reporters.’ He also stated, “He violated the ban on the use of loudspeakers under the Public Official Election Act by conducting a campaign using a microphone under the pretext of a ‘interview’.”
He continued, “Using the format of a press conference, we virtually campaigned for a large crowd, took questions from reporters selectively, and mainly campaigned for the People Power Party candidates to be defeated.” He added, “If such trick microphone use is allowed, which candidate will it be? He said, “I will be able to use microphones and loudspeakers indefinitely, just by putting up a sign saying, ‘I am holding a press conference.’ This will muddy the election.”
Article 91, Paragraph 1 of the Public Official Election Act states that ‘no loudspeaker device may be used for election campaigns, except in cases where it is used for speeches, interviews, or debates in public places or interview/debate venues in accordance with the provisions of the law. It is decided that it cannot be done.
