"Mr. Chun Doo-hwan is the main culprit in the apparent civil rebellion and massacre," he said.

condolences. He changed his position saying that he had finally decided not to do it.



Last month, Mr. Jeon appeared to be concerned that the incident he had defended by saying, "Politics was good" would be recalled.



Justice Party candidate Shim Sang-jung said, "Death without reflection is in itself guilty," and offered condolences to the families of the May 18th survivors.



Last month, the Blue House, which sent a condolence message to Roh Tae-woo's funeral through Chief of Staff Yoo Young-min, decided not to send condolences, let alone condolences, this time.

Song Young-gil, the Democratic Party leader, also said that he felt anger at the stupidity of not asking for forgiveness until the end. Lee Jun-seok, representative of the People's Power, drew a line on behalf of the party, saying that he would send harmony, but would not hold a separate condolences as there was no reflection on past mistakes.



However, it was decided to leave the condolences of members of the party to freedom.
