Lee Jae-myeong, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized President Yoon Seok-yeol’s absence from the citizens’ memorial rally for the first anniversary of the Itaewon disaster (on the 29th), citing it as a ‘political rally’, saying, “If the president officially participates, no one will be able to say it is a political rally.” . At a meeting of the party’s top committee held at the National Assembly on the morning of the 27th, Representative Lee said, “The President’s Office, which declared its absence from the citizens’ memorial rally commemorating the first anniversary of the Itaewon disaster, said that the reason was because it was a political rally. “If both the ruling and opposition parties participate, it can’t be a political rally,” he said. He then criticized, “After creating conditions for it to be evaluated as a political rally, he said, ‘I cannot participate because it is a political rally.’” Representative Lee emphasized that President Yoon should attend the memorial service and apologize to the victims’ families. Representative Lee said, “Protecting the lives and safety of the people is the nation’s responsibility and the most important thing the president must do,” and “(the president) must apologize. He said, “He must offer his condolences to the families of the wronged victims.” Representative Lee also said, “We must take measures to prevent recurrence (to prevent disasters),” and added, “That is to keep the president’s promise to the people to create a safe society.” Reporter Kang Jae-gu j9@hani.co.kr
