Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, who attended the National Assembly's Special Committee on Budget and Settlement, criticized the court's decision to allow the Gwanghwamun assembly on Liberation Day to be wrong.

[Sae-gyun Jeong/Prime Minister: It was a wrong decision. We are so sorry that such a situation happened that we do not want to imagine.]

The grounds for the court's judgment that'there will be no problem with a small number of people present and distanced' were also questioned.

[Sae-gyun Jeong/Prime Minister: Any person can judge that the assembly will proceed differently from the original report, but I am very sorry.]

At the same time, of course, the violation of the infectious disease prevention method is severely punished. , He said that the government's right to indemnify damages caused by illegal activities is consistent with the public sentiment.

Attorney General Chu Mi-ae put the prosecution on the cutting board.

It is a false judgment that the prosecution did not request the cancellation of Pastor Kwang-hoon Jeon's bail before the assembly.

[Chu Miae/Minister of Justice: I think the prosecution's judgment is wrong. And the actual bail cancellation claim was made on August 16th.]

Regarding the social distancing stage, the government maintained a cautious view, saying that it is carrying out a gunnery operation so that the economic impact does not go to the third stage.

On the other hand, the United Party insisted that a three-level upgrade is inevitable.
