“Recruitment” issue “Foundation of Foundation and Compensation Fees” Korean Parliament President submits the bill December 18th 4:38
In order to solve the problem of “recruitment” during the Pacific War, Chairman Moon Hisan of the Korean Parliament will set up a new foundation and pay a courtesy to the plaintiffs for trials in Korea. The bill will be submitted to the Diet on the 18th.
However, the Moon Jae-in administration has not revealed its position on the bill, and it is unclear whether it will be a clue to solving the problem.
Several members of the Korean Parliament also reported on NHK's interview that some of the ruling and opposition party members, together with some members of the ruling and opposition parties, have been compiled by Chairman Moon Hisan to solve the problem of “recruitment” during the Pacific War. It was made clear that it was a policy to submit to the Diet.
The bill calls for donations from both Japanese and Korean companies and citizens to establish a new “Memory, Reconciliation and Future Foundation”, and the Korean government will also contribute operating expenses. On top of that, the Foundation is going to pay a consolation fee for the donated money, and the subject is a plaintiff who won the case in South Korea, such as a plaintiff who was "worked at a Japanese company", as well as a soldier or military affiliation of the former Japanese military, etc. is.
It seems that Chairman Mun and his colleagues have a desire to submit a bill before the Japan-Korea summit, which is coordinated next week, to improve the relationship.
However, some plaintiffs and civil society groups in the trial are against the bill, and the Moon Jane administration has not revealed its position, so it is unclear whether it will be a clue to solving the problem.
