The bereaved families who claimed to be responsible for the disaster, including Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min, National Police Agency Commissioner Yoon Hee-geun, and Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency Commissioner Kim Gwang-ho, appealed to the National Assembly Special Investigation Committee to find out the truth.



[Mother of the late Park Ha-young: Fellow citizens, please help us so that our children can carry on to the next generation.]



In addition, we requested the preparation of a memorial space for the victims and the participation of experts recommended by the bereaved families in the preliminary investigation into the government investigation.



At the meeting, members of the People's Power, who suggested a boycott of the state affairs investigation by defining the Democratic Party's proposal to dismiss Minister Lee Sang-min as bulletproof use for CEO Lee Jae-myeong, did not attend.



The National Assembly discussions surrounding the dismissal bill itself were also not smooth.



The Democratic Party planned to report to the plenary session yesterday and deal with it today, but National Assembly Speaker Kim Jin-pyo, who held the key, did not hold the plenary session as the disagreement between the ruling and opposition parties did not narrow.



[Park Hong-geun/Democratic Party Representative: The National Assembly Speaker's unilateral destruction of the plenary session agreed upon by the ruling and opposition parties is an overreach, an abuse of authority, and a bad precedent for the operation of the National Assembly.]



The power of the people is that the minister's dismissal bill and next year's budget bill are separate .

They argued that there was no agenda to hold a plenary session and focused on handling the budget bill.





[Ho-Young Joo/President of People's Power: We have to focus on the budget, and we shouldn't hold a meeting

to report the distrust agenda (this is the way to come out after strongly requesting it.)]

I asked for an additional plenary meeting next Monday to be able to handle it.
