Additionally, Democratic Party lawmakers are broadening the controversy over Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae’s son with absurd remarks that make no sense. Although CEO Nak-yeon Lee warned on the 9th that “we must be careful not to make misunderstandings or concerns to people,” he continued to make comments that were far from people’s sentiment without worrying about it. There was even a comment from a spokesperson at the hospital. It is unfortunate that only the Democratic Party does not seem to realize that the easy response of the ruling party lawmakers, who do not even acknowledge the weight of words, is further stimulating public sentiment. On the 16th, Democratic Party spokesman Park Seong-joon made a comment on the 16th, saying, “Minister Chu’s son personally practiced Dr. Ahn Jung-geun’s words that it is the duty of a soldier to dedicate himself to the country”. Received. Spokesman Park argued that “Minister Chu’s son took sick leave and underwent knee surgery while performing his duty as a soldier.” However, it is an absurd exaggeration to compare it to the dedication of Dr. Ahn Jung-geun, who gave his life for independence just because he kept the usual rules as a soldier. Finally, Speaker Park apologized saying, “Dr. Ahn Jung-geun” was removed from the comment and “caused controversy with inappropriate quotes.” The ruling party spokesman did not even anticipate the obvious headwind of public opinion and was making comments that were close to sophistication. If you think about it, even in the party, “you mean, all those who went to the army are not doctors. Will there be criticism for “too much” (former Congressman Kang Chang-il)? The biggest problem is that this is not the first time something so ridiculous has happened. It was only four days ago that Representative Hwang-hee apologized after stating that “he cannot be considered as a single criminal” while specifying the real name of the soldier on duty who first raised suspicions. Before that, Representative Sang-ho Woo said, “The KATUSA soldier himself is a comfortable position, so it doesn’t mean anything to go on vacation or not.” Each time there was a controversy that had nothing to do with the nature of the case, and only worsened public opinion. It is by no means desirable that the controversy over Minister Chu’s son is increasingly turning into a wasteful political battle rather than a cold approach to the facts. The Democratic Party should no longer cause unnecessary controversy with comments outside of common sense. I hope the facts are strictly pointed out, but even if you raise questions about fairness, you will be humbled and will listen.
