Questions to the government in the field of foreign, transportation and daily security.



It was the defense minister who took the most in the answer.



In June 2017, an opposition lawmaker claimed that a couple of ministers Chu Mi-ae called the Civil Affairs Office of the Ministry of National Defense over the issue of extending their son Seo-mo's vacation, and the contents of the call were contained in a transcript of the complaint room confiscated by the prosecution today.



[Shin Won-sik/People's Strength Congressman: We hope that the prosecution should not overlook the fact that a number of officials from the Ministry of Defense are grasping the contents of the



recorded file

It is to investigate thoroughly the contents of the call with the person on the call in the recorded file.



At the same time, he argued that Mr. Seo's vacation was a preferential treatment due to external pressure, but Defense Minister Jeong Gyeong-du replied:



[Gyeong-Doo Jung/Minister of Defense: I think there would have been no problem with such a procedure because (vacation records) remain in the solidarity administration system.

I'll tell you about the external pressure part, but it's not something I can do, it's a part that should be revealed by the prosecution investigation...

When another opposition lawmaker asked for a request for extended sick leave but was denied, Minister Chung refuted, "There were many similar cases to Seo."



[Ha Tae-kyung / National Power Member: If the disadvantaged people are the overwhelming majority and the people who have benefited are one private person, this is not a preference, what is it?]



[Gyeong-Doo Jung/Minister of National Defense: Regulations for one special person

?]

It is not an instruction or instruction.] The



ruling party lawmakers tried to cover the minister, saying that there was neither illegal nor solicitation.



[Ahn Gyu-baek/Democratic Party Member: We inquired through the civil petition office procedure that anyone can access, and we were able to confirm the health of our military by proceeding with the rules for selecting interpreters according to a lottery.]



Minister Jeong Gyeong-du said that there was no problem with Mr. The latest Pentagon announcement to the effect was "I announced it according to the confirmed facts."
