박영순 국회의원(대전 대덕구)이 공관위의 하위 10% 포함 통보에 대해 “지난 4년을 되돌아 봤을 때 공관위의 결정을 도저히 납득할 수 없다” 는 심경을 밝혔다.

21일 언론에 보낸 회견문을 통해 이같이 밝힌 박영순 국회의원은 “저는 지난 4년간 치열하고 성실하게 의정활동을 해 왔을 뿐 아니라, 지난해 11월 중앙당 선출직 공직자 평가위원회에서 제출을 요구한 모든 항목을 초과 달성해 제출했고, 지역구 활동도 이른 새벽부터 늦은 밤까지 365일을 단 하루도 거르지 않고 최선을 다해 누벼왔다”며 지난 4년의 의정활동을 자평했다. 

그러면서 박 의원은 “지난 4년간 총 68건의 법안을 대표 발의했고, 그 중 27건의 법안이 국회 본회의에서 통과되어 약 40% 가까운 법안 통과율을 기록했고, 지난 2020년과 2022년에는 당으로부터 국정감사 우수의원으로 선정되었고, 수많은 단체로부터 의정평가 우수의원상을 수상했다”고 전하면서 “지난 연말에는 시민단체로부터 국회의원 300명 중 8인에게만 수여되는 ‘의정대상’을 받기도 했다”며 지난 4년의 의정활동에 대한 근거를 제시했다. 

박영순 국회의원은 대전광역시당위원장, 원내부대표, 정책위부의장 등 당직을 수행하며 당에 기여하기 위해 최선을 다했으며, 지난 대선당시 대전지역 총괄 상임선대위원장을 맡아 활동했었다.

박 의원은 “얼마전 참여연대를 비롯한 73개 시민단체와 17개 연대기구로 구성된 ‘2024 총선시민네트워크’가 발표한 35명의 공천 반대 현역의원 명단, 지난 1월 경실련이 총 8가지 기준으로 자체 검증해 발표한 공천배제 34명, 철저 검증 72명의 현역 국회의원 명단 그 어디에도 박영순이라는 이름은 포함되지 않았다”고 강조했다.

박 의원은 이어 “객관적인 사실들에도 불구하고, 더불어민주당은 저에게 하위 10%를 통보했다”고 지적하고 “(이번 결정은) 당의 선출직 공직자 평가가 시스템에 의한 공정한 평가가 아니라는 반증이라”고 반박했다.

이어 “불공정한 룰을 만들어 놓고, 싸울 테면 싸워보라고 하는 것은 절대로 ‘혁신’이 아니다”라고 강조한 박 의원은 “선출직 공직자 평가 하위 20%를 비명계 의원들로 채워 놓고, 친명-비명 갈라치기가 아니라고 하는 것도 말장난에 불과하다”고 직격했다.

박 의원은 “‘비명계’ ‘친문계’ 의원들에 대한 대대적인 공천학살을 자행하면서도, 내부 분열은 안 된다고 말하는 것도 참으로 뻔뻔하기 그지없다”며 이재명 대표의 최근 발언을 평가하고 “진정 당당하다면 평가 내용을 공개하라”고 촉구했다.

박영순 의원은 “당을 위한 자신의 노력은 아랑곳없이 지금 더불어민주당의 당권을 쥔 당 대표와 측근들은 ‘애시당초 우리 편이 아니면 다 적’이라는 식으로 밀실에서 공천학살과 자객 공천을 모의하고 있다”고 밀실공천 자객공천 이라고 말했다.

최근의 공천 파동의 모습은 ‘친명횡재, 비명횡사’라고 나도는 말을 부인하기 어렵게 합한다고 지적한 박 의원은 “공천은 마음대로 할 수 있을지언정, 국민들의 마음까지 쥐고 흔들 수는 없다”면서 “이대로 가면 윤석열 정권에 대한 심판은 고사하고, 제1야당에 대한 심판으로 선거가 변질될 수 있다”고 지적하고 “총선패배의 그림자가 이미 짙게 드리우고 있다”고 중앙당 공천 행태가 민주당  총선패배로 이어질 것을 우려했다.

이날 박영순 의원은 “이재명 대표의 사당화된 민주당이 저를 죽이려 할지라도 결코 굴하지 않겠다”고 말하고 “하위 10% 대상이 된 것도 진실과 다르기 때문에 전혀 개의치 않겠다”면서 “이재명 사당의 치욕스런 정치보복에 맞서 의연히 싸울 것”이라고 결연한 의지를 밝혔다.

National Assembly member Park Young-soon, “I will confidently take the right path against targeted nominations.”

Dark clouds loom over the Democratic Party of Korea's Daejeon Daedeok-gu general election road...

National Assembly member Park Young-soon, who stated this in a statement sent to the media on the 21st, said, “Not only have I been fiercely and sincerely engaged in legislative activities for the past four years, but I have also exceeded and submitted all items requested by the Central Party Elected Public Official Evaluation Committee in November of last year. “I did my best in constituency activities from early morning to late at night, 365 days a year, without missing a single day,” he said, evaluating himself on his legislative activities over the past four years.

At the same time, Rep. Park said, “Over the past four years, a total of 68 bills have been proposed, and 27 of them were passed in the plenary session of the National Assembly, recording a bill passage rate of nearly 40%. In 2020 and 2022, the party gave excellent government audits. “I was selected as a member of the National Assembly and received awards for excellent legislative evaluation from numerous organizations,” he said. “At the end of last year, I received the ‘Legislative Award,’ which is given to only 8 out of 300 members of the National Assembly, from a civic group,” and expressed his gratitude for his legislative activities over the past four years. provided the basis for this.

National Assembly member Park Young-soon did her best to contribute to the party by carrying out party positions such as chairman of the Daejeon Metropolitan Party Committee, vice-floor leader, and vice-chairman of the policy committee. During the last presidential election, she served as the chairman of the standing election committee for the Daejeon region.

Rep. Park said, “The list of 35 active members opposing nomination was recently announced by the ‘2024 General Election Citizen Network’, which consists of 73 civic groups and 17 solidarity organizations, including the People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy, and announced by the Citizens’ Coalition for Economic Justice in January after self-verification based on a total of 8 criteria. He emphasized, “The name Park Young-soon was not included anywhere in the list of 34 active members of the National Assembly who were excluded from nomination and 72 who were thoroughly verified.”

Representative Park went on to point out, “Despite the objective facts, the Democratic Party of Korea notified me of the bottom 10%,” and countered, “(This decision) is proof that the party’s evaluation of elected officials is not a fair evaluation by the system.” did.

Rep. Park went on to emphasize that “making unfair rules and asking people to fight if they are going to fight is not ‘innovation’ at all,” and added, “filling the bottom 20% of elected officials’ evaluations with non-affiliated lawmakers is not a split between pro-Myung and non-Myung.” “It’s just a play on words,” he said.

Representative Park evaluated Representative Lee Jae-myung's recent remarks, saying, “It is truly shameless to say that internal division is not allowed while carrying out a large-scale nomination massacre against 'non-Moon group' and 'pro-Moon group' members." He said, "He is truly confident. “If so, please make the evaluation contents public,” he urged.

Rep. Park Young-soon said, “Despite their own efforts for the party, the party leader and his associates who are currently in charge of the Democratic Party of Korea are plotting a massacre of nominations and nominating assassins behind closed doors with the mindset that ‘if they are not on our side from the beginning, they are all enemies.’” He said that the nomination was a nomination by an assassin.

Rep. Park, who pointed out that the recent nomination wave makes it difficult to deny the saying that it is a 'pro-Myeong windfall and a non-profit windfall', said, "You may be able to make nominations as you wish, but you cannot control and sway the hearts of the people." He pointed out that “the election could degenerate into a judgment on the main opposition party, let alone a judgment on the Yoon Seok-yeol regime,” and expressed concern that the Central Party’s nomination behavior would lead to a defeat in the general election for the Democratic Party, saying, “The shadow of defeat in the general election is already casting a heavy shadow.” did.

On this day, Rep. Park Young-soon said, “I will never give in even if the Democratic Party, which has become the evil party of Representative Lee Jae-myung, tries to kill me,” and added, “I will not care at all that I have been targeted by the bottom 10% because it is different from the truth.” “We will fight resolutely,” he said with determination.
