이준석 대표 사퇴, 부산서 다시 불거진 '공천 책임론'_我的网站

一 | 지선 참패·쇄신 난항 끝 대표직 내려놔 부산시장 후보 사건도 재조명이준석 개혁신당 대표가 대표직에서 물러났다. 6·3 지방선거 참패 이후 당 쇄신을 둘러싼 내홍이 이어진 가운데 부산에서는 지난 지방선거 당시 시장 후보 공천을 둘러싸고 제기됐던 책임론도 다시 주목받고 있다. 이 대표는 26일 국회에서 기자회견을 열고 당 대표직 사퇴를 선언했다. 지방선거 이후 당의 자강과 쇄신을 위한 고민과 제안을 이어왔지만 당내에서 충분한 호응을 얻지 못했다는 취지로 사퇴 배경을 설명했다. ▲개혁신당 대표인 이준석 의원이 26일 국회 소통관에서 열린 기자회견에서 대표직 사퇴를 발표한 뒤 고개숙여 인사하고 있다. ⓒ연합뉴스 개혁신당은 지난 지방선거에서 전국적으로 기초의원 1석을 확보하는 데 그쳤다. 부산시장 선거에서도 정이한 후보가 1.56%를 얻어 3위에 머물렀다. 선거 이후에는 후보 검증 문제가 불거졌다. 정 전 후보가 선거운동 과정에서 지인과 공모해 자신이 습격당한 것처럼 꾸민 혐의로 구속 기소되면서 개혁신당의 공천 책임도 도마에 올랐다. 이 대표는 지방선거 당시 정 후보 지원에 직접 나섰다. 지난 3월 부산을 찾아 지지를 호소했고, 피습 사건 직후에도 부산에서 함께 선거운동을 벌이며 힘을 실었다. 그러나 선거 이후 사건의 실체가 드러나자 이 대표는 부산시민에게 공개 사과했다. 당시 그는 개혁신당이 공천한 후보인 만큼 '무한한 책임'을 느낀다는 취지로 밝히며 당 차원의 진상조사와 책임 규명 방침을 내놨다. 한편 정이한 전 부산시장 후보는 현재 구속 기소돼 재판을 앞두고 있다. 26일 공개된 검찰 공소장에는 음료 종류와 차량 동선, 복장과 현장에서 사용할 말까지 공범과 사전에 논의했다는 검찰의 판단이 담긴 것으로 전해졌다. 이 대표는 이날 사퇴 회견에서 부산시장 후보 사건을 직접 언급하지 않았다. 이번 사퇴의 직접적인 배경으로 해당 사건을 단정할 수 없는 이유다. 다만 이 대표가 후보 지원에 적극 나섰고 사건 이후 스스로 공천에 대한 책임을 인정했던 만큼 대표직 사퇴를 계기로 부산에서 불거졌던 후보 검증과 공천 책임 문제가 다시 수면 위로 떠오를 지는 미지수다.。 CANBERRA, Australia -- Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he will visit China in early November, making the announcement Sunday hours before he was to fly to the United States to meet with President Joe Biden.Albanese also said China agreed late Saturday to review the crippling tariffs it levied on Australian wine that have effectively blocked trade with the winemakers’ biggest export market since 2020.Albanese will become the first Australian prime minister to visit China in seven years when he travels to Beijing and Shanghai on Nov. 4-7.“It’s in Australia’s interest to have good relations with China, and certainly though my focus in the coming days will be very much on the visit to the United States,” Albanese told reporters at Australian Parliament House.“With Australia’s closest partner, talking about the future of our alliance, the future which has been upgraded by the AUKUS arrangements, a future based upon our common values, our commitment to democracy, and our commitment to the international rule of law and stable order throughout the globe,” Albanese added, using the acronym for Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States.Under the trilateral pact, the U.S. and Britain will cooperate to provide Australia with a fleet of submarines powered by U.S. nuclear technology to counter a more assertive China.Albanese said he will meet with President Xi Jinping and Premier Li Qiang in Beijing and then attend the China International Import Expo in Shanghai.The visit to China and a potential breakthrough in the wine dispute mark a further repair in relations since Albanese’s center-left Labor Party won elections last year after nine years of conservative government in Australia.China has agreed to review its tariffs on Australian wine over five months, Albanese's office said. In return, Australia has suspended its complaint against its free trade partner to the World Trade Organization.A similar dispute resolution plan led to China removing tariffs from Australian barley.Albanese said reopening the Chinese wine market would be worth more than 1 billion Australian dollars ($631 million) to exporters."We’re very confident that this will result in once again Australian wine, a great product, being able to go to China free of the tariffs which have been imposed by China," Albanese said.“It is important that we stabilize our relationship with China. That is in the interests of Australia and China, and it is indeed in the interests of the world that we have stable relations and that is what this visit will represent,” he added.The visit will come near the 50th anniversary of Labor Party leader Gough Whitlam becoming the first Australian prime minister to visit the People's Republic of China in 1973.Albanese accepted an invitation weeks ago to visit China this year, but finding suitable dates had been challenging.Albanese is visiting Washington to meet with Biden this week and will return to the United States after his China trip to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation leaders’ forum in San Francisco on Nov. 15-17.It will be the ninth time Biden has met with Albanese as prime minister. The first meeting was in Tokyo hours after Albanese was sworn in as government leader in May last year for a leaders' summit of the Quad strategic partnership that also includes Japan and India.As well as the AUKUS deal, the leaders will also seek more cooperation on clean energy, critical minerals and climate change.Albanese’s department announced Friday that it decided after an investigation not to cancel a Chinese company’s 99-year lease on the strategically important Darwin Port despite U.S. concerns the foreign control could be used to spy on its military forces.Some security analysts interpreted the decision to let Shandong Landbridge Group keep the lease signed in 2015 and long criticized by Albanese as a concession to China ahead of his visit.China’s release of Australian journalist Cheng Lei this month after she spent three years in detention in Beijing on espionage allegations was widely seen as a concession to Australia.Albanese said the breakthrough on wine “has not been transactional,” meaning Australia did not make any corresponding concessions to Chinese demands.“We’ll continue to put our case on matters that are in Australia’s national interest,” he said.“I’ve said very consistently: We’ll cooperate with China where we can, we’ll disagree where we must, and we’ll engage in our national interest, and that’s precisely what we’re doing,” he added.。
