Innovation Party leader Hwang Hyun-seon says, “The background and origin of the Jeonbuk public opinion manipulation incident must be revealed.”

Supreme Council member Hwang Hyeon-seon of the Fatherland Innovation Party (Chairman of the Jeonju City Regional Committee in North Jeolla Province) emphasized on the 6th, "The Democratic Party of Korea must apologize to the citizens of the province for manipulating public opinion in the local elections and reveal who was behind it before the statute of limitations (December 3)."

He issued a press release on this day and pointed out, “In Honam, where the Democratic Party primary leads to the election, the hegemonic political climate of ‘win at all costs is enough’ has become deeply entrenched.”

Supreme Council member Hwang said, “167 people, including the Jinan-gun mayoral candidate at the time, were sent on charges of manipulating the public opinion polls for the Democratic Party primary in the Imsil and Jinan regions,” and added, “The mammoth level of organized crime, in which 34 leaders and 133 simple participants were sent, cannot be covered up as a simple deviation.”

He continued, “Did they move their address without any reason and give a false response?” and pointed out, “If we cannot hold the elected official and those behind it accountable, this crime of destroying democracy is bound to be repeated.”

Supreme Council member Hwang said, “The Democratic Party has repeatedly held primary elections with great negative consequences while neglecting the reality of this violation of the law,” and demanded, “The Democratic Party, which is the ‘object of reform’ rather than the subject of reform, must come up with a strict reform plan along with an apology.”
