South Korea’s Ruling Party Protects Parliament Member Involved in Real Estate Speculation Scandal
If a Korean conservative politician did the same thing does anyone think the reaction would be different from the Korean left?:
Opposition parties denounced the ruling Democratic Party (DP) Friday for its decision not to take any action against one of its lawmakers who is alleged to have speculated in real estate.
Yonhap
The DP’s leadership decided Thursday that it will not punish Rep. Sohn Hye-won based on its judgment that she had not intended to make a speculative investment in real estate in Mokpo, 410 kilometers southwest of Seoul.
Sohn is suspected of having mobilized her relatives and aides to buy properties in an old district of Mokpo before authorities designated it as a cultural asset site, according to media reports.
She is alleged to have used inside information she obtained while serving on the parliamentary culture committee and to have provided money to her relatives for the purchases. Sohn has denied the allegations, claiming that she encouraged her aides to buy properties as an act of goodwill to revive the city.
Ahhh… the Global Left is sneaky and devious and dishonest and hypocritical… engaged in all sorts of bad behavior while protecting their own and accusing everyone else of what they are openly doing… and they are getting by with it because the Global Right is in a down time of leadership and self-confidence.
But the cycle will come around soon and the right-wing death squads will take care of some of this… solving some problems but creating equal ones.
Such is the circle of history.
Dirty F#@ckin commies. Where are the candle vigils and the woke Supreme Court justices? Why is there no criminal investigation? Over 20 properties bought under false names. Why aren’t Korean patriots burning the Blue House to the ground?
If she was a conservative, we all know she would be wearing orange by now.
Involved in shady real estate and a lefty? How long before she becomes Secretary of State and runs for President?
“she encouraged her aides to buy properties as an act of goodwill to revive the city”
Sounds legit, happens all the time right? 🙄
