재외동포 7백여 병 4차 성명서: 내 말 틀렸거든 도끼로 머리를 찍어라.

민주주의의 원리는 다수결이라 했다. 그러나 그 다수결로 인해 옳고그름이 필요없고 목소리 큰 놈 쪽수 많은 놈이 이긴다면 그건 이미 고대그리스에서 누가 말했던이 우중정치 혹은 어중이떠중이 정치라 했다. 그래서 민주주의의 탈을 쓰고 시민들의 표를 사기치고 표정관리하면 멍청한 시민들을 기뻐하며 독재를 하는 이들이 사람세상에 명멸했다. 그러니만큼 쪽수와 힘에 상관없이 옳다고 생각하는 것을 끝까지 우기는 이들이 있었다. 

지부상소(持斧上疏). "내 말이 틀렸다면 내 머리를 도끼로 찍어" 라는 뜻의 이 숙어는 고려와 조선 시대에 걸쳐 권력의 독단을 막는 상소를 올리는 재야지식인들의 간곡한 마음을 비유하는 일이었다 하니 1876년 망해가던 조선에서 최익현 선생이 일본의 강압 아래 맺은 최초의 한일조약인 병자수호조약을 반대하여 병자지부복궐소를 손에 꼽는다. 

미국과 유럽을 비롯하여 전세계에 흩어진 7백여 명 동포들이 지부상소의 심정으로 1219 부정선거 관련 4차 성명서를 냈다. 7백여 재외동포들은 대선 부정의혹 문제에 대해 명쾌한 해결을 요구하며 수검 요청 뿐 아니라 국정원 요원의 선거운동 개입문제에 대해 국정감사를 열 것을 요청하며 이 모든 것이 해결되지 않을 경우는 박 후보가 설혹 취임하더라도 임기 내내 부담으로 작용할 것임을 강조하며 자진사퇴를 권했다. 또한 현정권에 대해서도 재외동포들은 각종 잘못에 대해 좌시하지 않겠다고 강조했다.

<재외유권자의 권리로 요구한다>

- 재외 유권자와 동포들의 성명서 네 번째-

재외유권자와 동포들은 ‘제18대 대선 부정의혹’에 관하여 이미 세 차례의 성명서에 서명하고 이를 발표했다. 지난 1.2.3차 성명서에서 주장했던 ‘수작업 재검표 요구’는 유권자들의 정당한 권리다. 그러나 정치권은 이를 무시하고 있다. 선관위는 2002년도산 전자개표기를 가지고 ‘개표공개 시연’이라는 시늉으로 불신과 의혹을 가중시켰다. 이에 분노한 우리 재외유권자와 동포들은 ‘지부상소(持斧上疏)’의 심정으로 아래와 같이 요구한다.

1. 민주당은 야당 본연의 자세로 나서라

지난 2000년 미국 대선에서도 재개표 논란이 있었고, 2006년 멕시코 대선에서는 ‘수작업 전면 재검표’를 요구하는 대규모 시위가 벌어지기도 했다. 작년 초에 시행된 미얀마 선거에서는 수작업 개표 때문에 당선인 확정발표까지 1주일이 걸리기도 했다. 민주당은 대선에서 열화와 같은 국민의 지지를 받았음에도 현 사태에 침묵으로 일관하며 야당 본연의 자세를 저버렸다. 부정선거에 대한 의혹을 품는 유권자들을 위해 앞장서라. 이는 정당의 선택사항이 아니라 의무이다

2. 새누리당은 수작업 재검표를 수용하라

대통령 선거를 수작업 개표 방식으로 하자는 법 개정을 추진한 정당은 현재 당명만 바꾼 새누리당이다. 전자기계의 오작동을 우려하여 미국처럼 수작업 개표를 원칙으로 해야 한다고 주장, 법안 통과에 응하지 않으면 사이버테러를 용인하거나 부정개표를 하겠다는 것으로 의심받을 수 있다고 했던 정당이다. 개표작업이 한 점 의혹 없이 투명하고 공정했다면, 법이 정한 기한과 관계없이 의혹을 품는 수많은 국민의 요구인 수작업 개표를 수용하라.

3. 중앙선관위는 독립적 헌법기관으로서의 위상을 재확인하라

선관위 홈에 걸린 “민주주의의 꽃은 선거" 라는 얘기가 무의미하게 들릴 정도로 선거이 후 개표부정의혹이 넘친다. 결과가 사전에 예측되고 결정되었다는 의혹이 곳곳에 보인다. 의혹이 사실로 밝혀진다면 이번 대선은 원천무효다. 선거에 사용하는 가장 중요한 서버를 적절한 평가도 없이 1/4일(금) 무효소송 접수되자 1/6(일)에 교체했다. IT시스템 관련 예산 중 160억 원 가까운 금액을 9일 만에 다급하게 처리하여 의혹을 증폭시킨 것에 대해 명확히 해명하라. 선관위는 선거를 총괄하는 헌법적 독립기관이다. 홍보성 시연회가 아닌, 떳떳하게 수작업 재검표를 하여 의혹을 말끔히 없애고 법이 정한 수개표 미시행에 관한 책임을 져야 한다.

4. 국회는 국정원과 경찰에 대한 국정조사를 당장 실시하라

국정원 직원의 선거개입은 한국판 ‘워터게이트’ 사건이다. 공직선거법과 국가공무원법, 국정원법에 저촉되는 범죄행위다. 헌정질서 파괴행위, 국기문란사건이다. 또한, 국정조사를 통해 현 정권의 개입과 박근혜 후보의 묵인 여부를 명명백백히 밝혀내야 한다.

5. 박근혜 후보는 수작업 재검표를 통해 국민통합을 이뤄내라

미국 43대 대통령 ‘조지 부시’는 2000년 대선에서 재개표 논란으로 예정일보다 다섯 주가 지난 뒤에야 당선 통보를 받았다. 그런 전례에 비추어보면 박 후보는 아직 당선인 신분이 아니다. 부정개표의혹이 해소되지 않은 상태에서 당선인 신분으로 인수위 활동을 진행한다는 것 역시 이치에 맞지 않는다. 박 후보는 누구보다 국민통합을 강조해 온 당사자다. 그러나 개표부정의혹을 해소하지 않고서는 통합을 이뤄낼 수 없다. 이미 선거 이전에 불법 선거사무소 운영과 함께 박 후보 이름으로 된 댓글 공작 십알단 임명장이 발견되고 십알단이 국알단으로 진화하다못해 이젠 대놓고 권력의 힘을 빌어 양성화를 해야한다는 주장도 나온다.

3차 성명서에 언급한 국정원 개입 의혹에 대해서도 자유로울 수 없는 입장임을 인지하라. 5.16쿠데타 세력은 국가의 이름으로 한국문화방송 부산문화방송 부산일보사를 약탈했고 끝내는 사유화했다. 유신의 부활을 예고한 국정원 개입의혹은 아직도 독재 유산인 정수재단을 끌어안고 있는 박후보와 현 정권이 책임져야 한다.

이와 같은 재외 유권자의 당연한 목소리를 외면한다면 3.15 부정선거 때처럼 폭풍같은 저항으로 국민의 심판을 받을 것이며 부친이 역사 앞에 심판을 받았듯이 영원히 부정선거에 의한 당선자라는 오명을 지니게 될 것이다. 이 모든 문제가 명쾌하게 밝혀지지 않는 이상, 취임하더라도 국정운영을 원활히 해나갈 수 없음을 기억하라 진정으로 국민통합을 원한다면 이미 드러난 사실만으로도 자진사퇴가 먼저이다 끝까지 사퇴를 거부하려면 현 정권과의 악의 고리를 끊고 뼈를 깍는 자성의 노력으로 부정선거 의혹과 불신을 해소하는데 최선의 노력을 다하기 바란다.

6. 현 정권은 개표정의를 바로 세워라

우리 재외유권자들은 수백, 수천Km를 달려가 한 표를 행사했다. 그런데 그 한 표의 가치가 부정개표의혹으로 심히 훼손되었다. ‘1인 1표’라는 등가성이 투표정의라면 그 1인 1표가 투명하게 집계되는 것은 개표정의다. 개표(집계방법)가 투표(국민의사)를 이기는 일이 없어야 민주주의다.

합리적 의심의 목적은 실체적 진실이다. 우리는 실체적 진실이 밝혀지길 원한다. 국민검증위원회(가칭)를 통해 수작업 재검표를 속히 실시하라.

마지막으로 현 정권에 경고한다. 국가기관인 국정원이 개입된 선거자체는 무효이다. 서명에 참여한 우리 재외유권자및 동포는 이를 결코 좌시하지 않을 것이며 진실을 밝히는 일에 힘을 보탤 것이다.
