한동훈 후보 자원봉사자 쉼터, 선거법 허용범위 넘어…조사 이뤄져야"
(부산=연합뉴스) 김선호 기자 = 부산 북갑 국회의원 보궐선거에 출마한 국민의힘 박민식 후보가 25일 "여론조사 표본이 정치적으로 오염돼 있다"고 주장했다.
최근 몇몇 여론조사에서 3위를 기록한 박 후보는 이날 북구 선거사무소에서 기자회견을 열고 "특정 후보 측이 객관적 데이터 수집을 얻기 위한 여론조사가 아니라 여론을 왜곡하고 선거에 악용하는 수단으로 변질됐다"고 말했다.
그는 더불어민주당 전재수 부산시장 후보와 맞붙었던 지난 2020년 총선 전 여론조사에서 전 후보 58.1%, 본인이 31.8%로 보도됐지만 실제 총선 결과는 전 후보 48.733%, 본인 46.795%로 1.938%에 불과했다는 사례를 들었다.
박 후보는 "북구 민심과 여론조사 결과가 상당한 차이가 있다"고 덧붙였다.
박 후보는 단일화에 대해선 "정치공학적인 셈법에 불과하며 북구 주민의 선택권을 무시하는 처사"라며 확고부동하게 선을 그었다.
그는 경쟁 상대인 무소속 한동훈 후보의 자원봉사자 쉼터 논란에 대해 "상당히 선을 넘은 것이 많고 공직선거법 허용 범위 밖이라 적절한 시점에 조사가 이뤄져야 한다"고 말했다.
이와 관련해 민주당 부산시당도 이날 성명을 내고 "공직선거법은 선거사무소 외 유사 기관 설치를 엄격히 제한하고 있다"며 "선관위는 철저하고 신속한 조사를 통해 실체를 명확히 밝혀야 한다"고 말했다.
