조경태 “이진숙 변명, 술 마시고 음주운전 안 했단 식”

Original Korean Read in English

Nationalist congressman Jeong Geom-tae demanded that the National Unity Party (NUP) expel Jeong Geom-tae, accusing him of having "no qualifications to be a member of the National Assembly." Meanwhile, Kim Min-soo, the NUP's top-ranking member, defended Jeong Geom-tae, saying that "questioning history is wrong." During a KBS radio program, Jeong Geom-tae criticized his own remarks as "vagaries" and labeled them as "nothing more than a drunken rambling."

He further stated that "if there had been no March 5th, the plight of the people of Gwangju and the democratic movement would have taken a very similar direction." The incident should not be dismissed as ordinary.
