The government inquiry into the 10.29 disaster has been creaking since day one.
This is because the people’s power has asked to remove the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office from the target of the government investigation on the day of the agreement between the government and opposition parties.
Finally, after twists and turns, they agreed again and approved the plenary session, but many so-called Yoon Haek-gwan either abstained or voted against.

Yesterday the government and opposition parties reached an agreement on all the institutions subject to the government inquiry.

“Supreme Prosecutor’s Office, National Police Agency, Fire and Disaster Management Agency, Seoul Metropolitan City, Yongsan-gu, Seoul…”
However, within a day, public opposition erupted within the people’s power.

“There are also some inappropriate provisions. I can’t understand why the great sword should be included in national aid.”
The president’s office also helped.
Lee Jin-bok, senior secretary for political affairs in the presidential office, visited the National Assembly and expressed dissatisfaction with the agreement between the ruling and opposition parties, saying, “It goes against the purpose to call institutions that do not I’m the target.”
If the great sword is included, it seems that he was worried that the suspicion that he could not control the crowd due to the “repression of drugs”, which was the president’s main order, would spread again.
Within a day, the ruling party reversed the group leader’s deal to remove the supreme prosecutor’s office.
The Democratic Party criticized: “Are these the president’s guidelines?”

“Is the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office a guideline from the former chairman of prosecutors and ‘Gwan Haek-gwan Yoon’ to remove responsibility for the disaster?
In the end, the government and opposition parties again agreed to call only the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office “Drug Investigation Department”, and after twists and turns, the government’s investigation plan passed the plenary session.
However, the so-called Yoon Haek-gwan voted against and abstained en masse.
Within People’s Power, there were 12 votes against and 21 abstentions.

“I objected because he was against it.”

“I think it is undesirable to continue politicizing death and to use it to commit new, second and third acts of harm.”
Meanwhile, Yoon Haek-gwan has openly expressed his dissatisfaction with the party leadership being passive in protecting the president.
In the government investigation into the disaster on 10.29, the shaking of Yoon Haek-gwan’s leadership was again expressed.
