(Chuncheon = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Hae-yong and Kang Tae-hyun = Public servants are expressing a sense of self-destruction at the abuse of power by Gangwon-do lawmakers that erupts every time they forget.

The Gangwon Provincial Government Officials’ Labor Union held a press conference in the provincial government briefing room on the 25th and called for a public apology from Provincial Councilman A, who recently made abusive remarks, and measures to prevent recurrence.

The union said in a statement, “Provincial Assemblyman A made insulting remarks to the provincial director at the plenary session on the 23rd when asking questions about provincial government, such as ‘Don’t be so foolish’ and ‘It’s a problem because it’s now installed.'” “Questions should not be used as a tool to cut off answers and threaten people without hearing the reasons,” he criticized.

He added, “Provincial Assemblyman A posted an apology only on the bulletin board inside the provincial office to avoid making abusive remarks, and is planning to leave the country today,” adding, “It is right to apologize publicly.”

At the same time, he said, “There have been many cases where a provincial council member has treated Party B from the position of A,” adding, “During a standing committee session, he tried to embarrass the director by asking for a rank statement that a superior in the military demands from a subordinate. He claimed, “I also ordered personnel action to be taken against the employee.”

The union requested measures to prevent recurrence, such as the enactment of an ‘ordinance on the eradication of unfair behavior by members’, which can punish those who abuse power, as the ethics committee of the provincial council is busy protecting its own members.

In response to this, Provincial Assemblyman A explained, “Because I use a lot of dialect, I said ‘Don’t talk nonsense’ to mean not talking about old times. From now on, I will use standard language whenever possible.”

Previously, in November last year, Provincial Councilor Yoon Gil-ro became controversial when he spoke rudely to public officials.

Afterwards, the Gangwon Provincial Party of the People Power Party expelled the provincial council member, saying, “The provincial councilor in question broke into the office of the chairman of the Budget and Settlement Committee without permission and uttered unspeakable language, including swearing at a public official. This is behavior that an elected public official should never do.” I made a decision.

The Gangwon Provincial Party of the Green Justice Party called for measures to be taken in response to the controversy over the repeated comments made by provincial lawmakers.

Green Justice Party Gangwon said on this day, “Last year, a provincial council member was expelled due to controversy for raising his voice and swearing at staff, and a similar incident occurred less than half a year later.” He added, “The provincial council must prepare measures to prevent provincial council members’ verbal abuse, abusive language, and abuse of power.” “He urged.
