Candidate Byeon Chang-heum, Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport who attended the National Assembly personnel hearing.
It was opposition lawmakers holding pickets to immediately resign.
As the hearing began, candidate Byeon bowed his head.
[Byeon Chang-heum/Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport candidate: (Guui Station accident) I lend this position to Kim, his family, and all those who are working at risk.] If you become a
minister, I would like
to apologize for
the safety issues of workers working in dangerous fields. I pledged to take care of them first, but criticism and apology continued for inappropriate past remarks.
[Kim Hee-guk/People's Strength Congressman: Because I didn't have the minimum dignity to have as a human being, not as a member of the State Council...
]
[Shim Sang-Jeong/Jeong Eui-dang Member: Will you be forgiven if you were in the position of your parents because you were in the position of your parents?
Please tell me.]
[Candidate Chang-Hum Byun/Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport: I sincerely apologize for the thoughtless speech of the deceased or the bereaved.]
However, when clarifying a past remark about the tenants of the shared housing, "Do people who can't live because they eat at home or if they are crazy?"
[Byeon Chang-heum/Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport candidate candidate: In the case of women, it is very cautious to eat breakfast (meal) with (unknown person) because of makeup or these things...
.] When the
ruling party's chairman of the standing committee pointed out that it was a word that promotes prejudice against women, Byun apologized again.
Candidate Byun explained that when he was the president of SH in the past, the union chairperson also attended the screening of'suspicions of hiring acquaintances'.
The ruling party focused on covering candidates.
[Park Young-soon/ Democratic Party Member: We could not find anything that violates the seven principles, such as drunk driving and sexual crime.]
Regarding the real estate policy, Candidate Byeon proposed a plan to expand the range of the station area to 500 meters in order to supply housing in downtown Seoul. I did.
[Byeon Chang-heum/Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport candidates: The density of the station area is only 160% now.
Of course, if it's close to the station, isn't it okay to raise it to more than 300%?]
The power of the people is inadequate, and the Democratic Party is in an appropriate position, but the Justice Party plans to clear its position after the hearing, but it is said that the negative current is strong.
