Ogeodon Blacklist, Political Line Forced to Resign
#OhGeoDon #Blacklist #Resignation [Anchor] There is testimony that the political line at the time led the so-called 'Busan version of the blacklist' incident in which former Busan Mayor OhGeoDon forced employees of public institutions under the city to resign after being elected. Lee Byung-jin, the Busan City Vice Mayor who was a key executive at the time, appeared as the first witness today and confessed that there was considerable pressure to urge him to resign. This is reporter Joo Woo-jin. [Reporter] Lee Byung-jin, the Vice Mayor, poured out his remarks as if he had made up his mind. {Lee Byung-jin/Busan City Vice Mayor (then Director of Planning and Management)/ "There have always been such things (requests for resignation) after elections. I think there were parts that were understandable and parts that were harsh." } Vice Mayor Lee, who was the Director of Planning and Management at the time, said, "Former Mayor Oh called and yelled at me for not doing things right, and I felt scared when he yelled at me that he would eliminate the position of Director of Planning and Management." It is said that he took it as a reprimand for not properly submitting his resignation letter, but this is in conflict with the claim of former Mayor Oh, who has drawn a line that he was never involved in creating or directing the blacklist. The deputy mayor also said that he had repeatedly asked former special adviser Park Tae-soo and former aide Shin Jin-goo to resign, but they ignored him, and that he had been asked to resign en masse by phone or verbally. He eventually confessed that he had notified the expanded executive meeting that he would submit his resignation letter in the form of a notice due to the continued pressure from the political line. The prosecution indicted former Mayor Oh and the political line on charges of conspiring to coerce nine employees of six public institutions, including BEXCO, to resign and abusing their authority. On the first day of the trial, the political line admitted the charges, while former Mayor Oh denied the charges, saying that the resignation order and the relationship with the conspiracy were unclear.
