[사설] The KCTU should cancel the rally on the 25th without justification

As of today, the distance between the metropolitan area has risen to two stages. The Seoul Metropolitan Government completely banned the gathering of more than 10 people. This is due to concerns that the third outbreak, which is much more serious than the first and second periods, has come to the fore with around 400 confirmed cases a day. Many citizens have canceled several end-of-year meetings and are pulling the quarantine reins again.

If you are forced to do so, you must respond firmly and take responsibility

However, only the KCTU backs down on the 25th, predicting a general strike and a nationwide rally. It is said that simultaneous meetings are planned throughout the country, focusing on union leaders and strikers. The aim is to oppose the revision of the trade union law promoted by the government and promote the legislation of the ‘Jeon Tae-il 3 Law’, which strengthens the rights of workers.

The general strike of the KCTU, which puts only the interests of the union, is seen as a selfish act, ignoring the reality of the self-employed on the brink. Like the case of a karaoke sister who made an extreme decision two months ago, the lives of ordinary people are in danger. In this situation, it was not just a strike, but who would sympathize with the fact that it took place at the national level.

As seen at a rally near Gwanghwamun by conservative organizations and the KCTU in August, a crowded urban rally is a focus of massive infection. The infectious material production index, which was 0.98 at the beginning of this month, has risen more than 50% to 1.55 in the third week and, as the Vice Minister of Health and Welfare said yesterday, the ‘third silent epidemic in everyday life’.

In the midst of this, it is obvious that the KCTU urban rally will serve as a firelight that will set off the explosion of infected people. Furthermore, the KCTU held a large-scale demonstration on the 14th and received great criticism. The freedom of assembly and association guaranteed by the Constitution must be fully respected. However, there is no justification to force a hostage demonstration for the safety of the entire town in a situation where the third outbreak is about to occur.

Also, the response of the ruling ruling party, which is tepid only for the assembly of liberal organizations, must be changed. At a conservative group rally in August, when there were more than 100 confirmed cases per day, the list was traced back to the communications base station due to a lack of inspections. “The leaders of the assembly are murderers,” he said.

Starting from the second stage starting today, entertainment bars etc. are closed, restaurants cannot be eaten after 9pm, and cafes can only be packed. Isn’t it a sense of privilege that violates the spirit of Jeon Tae-il, hoping that the manifestation of the liberal group will be the exception, while daily life itself is a new normal? The ruling party of the government must respond to the demonstration on the 25th with the same standards and take its own responsibility. There should be no doubt that the government is taking the side of the people by responding loosely on the basis of the rubber band quarantine rule as at the rally on 14.

On the 25th, the KCTU will completely cancel the general strike and assembly, and the government, regardless of the camp, hopes to take public health as its first principle and respond firmly. The entire public is watching how long President Moon Jae-in’s message that “there are no privileges in the COVID-19 quarantine” will linger in the field.
