민주, ‘5·18 폄훼’ 이진숙 징계안 국회 제출…“빨리 윤리특위 구성해야”

The Democratic Party has submitted a disciplinary measure against Jeon Ik-su, a member of the National Assembly, for his comments on the 5·18 Gwangju Democratic Uprising. This comes after the party hosted a forum to address the misrepresentation and suppression of the uprising. The disciplinary measure, submitted to the National Assembly's Office, accuses Jeon of challenging the nation's constitution, 5·18 spirit, and the 320,000 citizens of South Jeolla Province and Gwangju.

His deputy, Kim Min-seok, expressed the party's demand for the highest level of disciplinary action against Jeon, citing the rejection of his participation by 3,000 members of the Democratic Party. The party's demand for a special committee to handle the disciplinary measure has yet to be addressed by the National Assembly.
