[6·3 지선] 박종원 담양군수 후보 측, ‘기부행위 의혹 동영상’에 “의도적 조작” 고발 조치“아이들 용돈 10만 원이 선거 범죄로 둔갑... 삼류 정치 공작에 엄정 대응”
민심캠프는 박 후보가 돈을 건네는 장면의 동영상 제공자와 최초 유포자 등을 공직선거법 위반(허위사실유포, 낙선 목적 비방 등) 혐의로 선관위에 고발 조치했다.
캠프 측은 “현재 지역 내에 유포되고 있는 영상은 박 후보가 후배에게 아이들 용돈으로 건네는 장면만 교묘하게 잘라낸 편집본”이라며, “특히 영상 말미에 ‘스톱(Stop)’이라는 인위적인 음성이 녹음되어 있는 점으로 보아, CCTV 화면을 스마트폰 등으로 재촬영하며 기부행위 프레임을 짜 맞추기 위해 의도적으로 조작한 결정적 증거”라고 지적했다.
또한 문제의 동영상이 촬영된 담양읍 소재 캠핑장 운영자가 조국혁신당 담양위원회 위원장의 가족인 것으로 알려지면서, 캠프 측은 시설 안전관리용 CCTV가 특정 후보 음해 목적으로 사적 유출된 경위와 조국혁신당 차원의 조직적 공모 여부에 대해서도 철저한 수사를 요청했다.
아울러 사실관계 확인 없이 해당 영상만을 근거로 ‘돈을 준 대상이 담양 선거구민’이라며 낙선 목적의 보도를 감행한 모 일보 기자와 이를 조직적으로 유포한 세력에 대해서도 공직선거법 위반 혐의로 즉각 고발할 예정이라고 덧붙였다.
박종원 후보 측 관계자는 “지난해 10월경 광주에서 내려온 고등학교 후배 가족 모임에 격려차 방문해, 어린 자녀 10여 명에게 만 원씩 주라며 모임 회장에게 건넨 10만 원(5만 원권 2장)의 순수한 용돈이 추악한 선거 범죄로 둔갑했다”며 “아이들 용돈을 붙잡고 늘어지는 치졸한 네거티브에 실소를 금할 수 없다”고 비판했다.
이어 “지방선거를 진흙탕으로 만드는 삼류 정치 공작에 담양군민들은 결코 속지 않을 것이며, 법의 엄중한 심판이 따를 것”이라고 강조했다.

[June 3 Local Elections] Park Jong-won, Candidate for Damyang County Governor, and His Camp File Complaint Against “Video Alleging Donation Behavior” Claiming “Intentional Manipulation” “100,000 Won in Children’s Allowance Turned into an Election Crime… Strict Response to Third-Rate Political Schemes”
(Damyang = Break News) Reporter Lee Hak-su = The “Minsim Camp” of Park Jong-won, the Democratic Party of Korea’s candidate for Damyang County Governor in South Jeolla Province, announced that it has filed complaints with the Damyang County Election Commission and other relevant authorities against all individuals involved regarding the “video alleging donation behavior” raised recently by the opposing candidate’s camp and some media outlets. The camp stated that the video is “clearly fabricated and maliciously edited false information.” The Minsim Camp filed complaints with the Election Commission against the provider of the video showing Candidate Park handing over money, as well as the initial distributor, on charges of violating the Public Official Election Act (dissemination of false information, defamation for the purpose of defeat, etc.). The campaign team stated, “The video currently circulating in the region is an edited version that cleverly cuts out only the scene where Candidate Park hands money to a junior colleague as pocket money for the children.” They pointed out, “In particular, judging by the artificial voice saying ‘Stop’ recorded at the end of the video, this is decisive evidence that the footage was intentionally manipulated by re-recording CCTV footage with a smartphone to fabricate a frame of a donation.” Furthermore, as it was revealed that the operator of the campsite in Damyang-eup where the video in question was filmed is a family member of the chairman of the Jo Guk Innovation Party’s Damyang Committee, the campaign team requested a thorough investigation into the circumstances of how the facility’s safety CCTV footage was privately leaked for the purpose of slandering a specific candidate, as well as whether there was an organized conspiracy at the level of the Jo Guk Innovation Party. In addition, they added that they plan to immediately file a complaint for violation of the Public Official Election Act against a reporter from a certain newspaper who published a report with the intent of causing defeat by claiming that “the recipient of the money was a Damyang constituency” based solely on the video without verifying the facts, and against the forces that systematically disseminated the footage. An official from Candidate Park Jong-won's camp criticized the situation, stating, "A pure allowance of 100,000 won (two 50,000-won bills), which was handed to the chairman of a gathering of high school juniors' families who had come down from Gwangju around October last year to offer encouragement and to give 10,000 won each to about 10 young children, has been twisted into a heinous election crime." The official added, "We cannot help but laugh at this petty negative campaigning that clings to children's allowance." The official further emphasized, "The residents of Damyang County will never be deceived by this third-rate political maneuvering that turns the local election into a mudslinging contest, and the severe judgment of the law will follow."
