Special Committee for Government Investigation into the Itaewon Disaster conducted its first on-site investigation with members from both the ruling and opposition parties participating.



Members of the National Assembly Investigation Special Committee visited the Itaewon Joint Incense Burning Center this morning to pay condolences, and then visited the site of the disaster and started an on-site investigation.



Following this, they plan to visit the Itaewon police box, the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, and the Seoul City Hall in order to conduct on-site investigations.



The special committee is operating normally 10 days after the members of the People's Power Special Committee for National Security expressed their resignation in opposition to the Democratic Party's single handling of the proposal to dismiss Minister Lee Sang-min of the Ministry of Public Administration and Security.



[Rep. Lee Man-hee/People's Power (Lee Tae-won, the ruling party's secretary of the special committee on the government investigation): As a responsible ruling party, it will serve as a bridge for smooth communication between the bereaved families and the government, and will also promote practical support measures.]



People's Power yesterday afternoon A meeting was held with the bereaved families at the National Assembly.



[Lee Jong-cheol/Representative of the Bereaved Family Council: What does it have to do with those who deliberated on the budget and were sacrificed in the Itaewon disaster?

Why do you deal and negotiate, is it a market version, go here.]



On the surface, the meeting with the bereaved family had an effect on the return, but the fact that the ruling party does not participate in the state affairs investigation at all can give the opposition party an excuse to attack, and the recent successive passport-issued 'second offense controversy' and the 49th non-participation It was interpreted that the harsh public opinion acted as a burden.



The parliamentary investigation special committee is scheduled to end on the 7th of next month, but there is still a possibility that the opposition parties will clash again over the issue of the extension of the deadline and the key witness adopted by the opposition party alone.
