최근 국민의힘 공천관리위원회가 대구 동구군위을 강대식·서호영·우성진·이재만·조명희 등 5자 경선 결과 강대식 의원과 이재만 전 동구청장이 최종 후보에 올랐다고 밝혔다.

이에 대해 전투기소음피해보상운동본부는 “깨끗하고 참신한 예비후보들이 탈락하고 문제가 많은 예비후보를 결선투표에 이르게 한 국민의힘 공관위의 잣대는 무엇이며, 공정한 심사를 하고 있는지 묻지 않을 수 없다”고 비판에 나섰다.

본부는 이재만 예비후보에 대해 “불법, 탈법, 부정선거를 자행하다가 감옥에 갔다온지도 얼마 되지 않았다”면서 “해당 부정선거에 가담한 시의원 2명, 구의원 4명의 자격이 박탈되어 재선거를 치르게 됐다”고 지적했다.

또한 “이와 관련해 여러 명이 감옥에 가서 옥고를 치렀으며 수심명이 벌금형을 받았다”며 “이 예비후보는 재판과정에서도 공직선거에 출마하지 않겠다는 약속과 부인의 병고를 참작 받아 형을 최소화했다”고 설명했다.

그러면서 “한동훈 비대위원장은 사면 복권되어도 중대 범죄자는 공천에서 전격 배제하겠다고 천명했지만 공염불이 되고 있다”라며 “국민의힘 공관위가 새로 도입한 시스템 제도의 공정성에 대한 우려를 표명하지 않을 수 없다”고 꼬집었다. 

본부는 “현재 대구 동구을 유권자들은 국회의원이 될 자격이 없는 이재만 예비후보가 결선까지 온 것에 대해 매우 수치스럽게 생각하며 공관위의 신뢰성에 많은 의문을 제기하고 있다”고 질타를 이어갔다.

그러면서 “국민의힘 공관위는 부도덕한 이재만 예비후보를 부적격자로 처리하지 않고 면죄부를 주고 결선투표까지 오게 만든 책임을 꼭 져야만 할 것”이라고 강조했다.

아울러 본부는 “이재만 예비후보는 윤석열 정부가 추구하는 공정, 상식, 정의, 그리고 법과 원칙에도 심각하게 어긋나는 인물”이라며 “국민의힘 공관위는 지금이라도 예비후보 자격을 박탈하고 윤석열 정부와 국민의힘의 도덕성의 위상을 제고하라”고 강력히 촉구했다.
