10/29 Disaster Disaster Politician Finally Expelled… “Effectively, paid vacation”

◀ Anchor ▶

Ultimately, the proposal was rejected for the people’s power city council member, who caused controversy by pouring out harsh words towards the grieving families of the 10.29 disaster.

Instead, the people’s power city councilors passed the ’30 day attendance suspension’.

As it turned out, it turned out to be nothing more than a month’s worth of paid vacation.

Reporter Jang Young covered the story.

The power of the people, Kim Mi-na, a member of the Changwon City Council, posted one after another on social media, such as “Did you die saving the country?”

Even before the public apology, he posted an SNS post, raising doubts about his sincerity.

“I haven’t slept a wink since last night. Aren’t you a parent raising a child?”

About a month later, in the absence of Congressman Kim, a full session of the Changwon City Council was held to handle the expulsion agenda.

However, as soon as the motion to expel was presented, it was changed to private, and the result was rejected.

Two thirds of the 45 expelled members had to agree, but it was rejected with 20 votes each for and against.

The Ethics Review Advisory Committee and Changwon City Council’s Special Ethics Committee concluded that ‘expulsion’, but it is useless.

When the Democratic Party lawmakers left in protest, the disciplinary motion presented by a fellow member of the People’s Power was immediately passed.

“I declare that a 30-day attendance suspension has been passed.”

It prevents attendance on the 30th, but it appears that there is no official meeting schedule in Congress until the 16th of next month.

They also receive a monthly allowance of 3.9 million earned and legislative activity expenses.

In fact, it is stated that it is different from a month’s paid leave.

“The disciplinary decision to suspend attendance for 30 days is a disastrous result. During that period, there is no session, and this type of behavior is unacceptable…”

On the People’s Power side, Congressman Kim apologized for rejecting the expulsion, and the SNS article revealed that it was a personal conviction, not contempt for the bereaved family, and the Gyeongnam countermeasure meeting on the Itaewon 10.29 disaster was criticized as “the third harm to the family and bereaved citizens.”
