In a statement, the citizens’ countermeasures committee called for this, saying, “Minister Lee should be held responsible for the disaster and should be removed, and should be urgently investigated to cover legal responsibility.”
They also criticized the fact that members of People’s Power opposed the proposed ousting and that members of the Special Commission for State Affairs belonging to this party have expressed their intention to resign.
The citizens’ countermeasure meeting said, “The power of the people is to immediately stop the fearless behavior of holding the ankle of an inquiry without sanctuary and accountability and once again drive a nail into the hearts of families and victims in mourning”.
Citizens’ Countermeasures Meeting is a meeting created by 174 civic groups, including Popular Solidarity for Participatory Democracy and Citizens’ Coalition for Democratic Media, with the aim of uncovering the truth about the 10.29 disaster and supporting the victims.
