Lee Jae-myeong, representative of the Democratic Party of Korea, said on the 14th that the special committee for state affairs investigation to find out the truth of the Itaewon disaster would end on the 17th, saying, "We will come up with concrete plans to continue the investigation after the state affairs investigation."
Representative Lee said on his Facebook page that day, "There is no complete cure as much as a complete investigation of the truth."
It is interpreted as meaning that this parliamentary investigation was not carried out substantively, such as starting late due to delays in budget negotiations between the ruling and opposition parties at the end of last year, and that they would start additional truth-finding work.
The day before yesterday, at a public hearing attended by the family members and survivors, the bereaved families demanded the launch of an independent fact-finding organization in which they participate.
Representative Lee criticized, "There is no one who will take responsibility, and the president gave an indulgence to Minister of Public Administration and Security Lee Sang-min, who evaded responsibility by lying." I did.
"The government should not try to win over the bereaved family and the people," he wrote, "and the president should take responsible measures such as a sincere apology, dismissal of Minister Lee, and prevention of secondary harm according to the request of the bereaved family."
