“We are confirming specific violations of the law.”
On the 15th, the day after Democratic Party lawmaker Yoon Mi-hyang was handed over to trial on suspicion of receiving a subsidy, an official said: The Ministry of Leisure and Home Affairs has provided grants for projects related to women. workshops conducted by the Korean Council of Countermeasures against Psychiatric Problems (Jung Daehyup) and the Justice Memory Solidarity (Euiyeon Jeong). The prosecution’s prosecution confirmed some of the criminal suspicions of legislators Eui-yeon Jung and Mi-hyang Yoon, but they still repeat their principled position without properly understanding the relevant facts.
Leisure Minister Lee Jung-ok attended the general meeting of the National Assembly Women and Family Committee on the morning of the 15th and said: “If there is a case where Jeong Eui-yeon violated the law while executing the women’s subsidy project, we will take strict measures. ”
So far, the Ministry of Leisure and Interior has revealed that “we will follow the laws and principles” as the prosecution’s investigation is ongoing into the allegations related to Eui-yeon. The answer has been postponed, saying that rhetoric can act as a variable. However, despite the results of the prosecution’s investigation that Yoon conspired with Chung Daehyup employees in 2014-2020 and received 65.2 million won in labor cost subsidies from the Ministry of Leisure and Interior and used it. for other purposes, you are repeating the previous position.
An official from the Ministry of Gender Equality said: “The prosecution does not share any information and presents it to determine the exact relationship.” Another official said: “It is necessary to confirm the business subject to prosecution.”
As the money was given to Eui-yeon with Narat’s money, if the suspicion of illegal receipt of subsidies turns out to be true, it is difficult to shirk responsibility for leisure and entertainment matters. However, the Ministry of Leisure and Home Affairs has been criticized for responding passively to the Eui-yeon situation, such as refusing to send data to the National Assembly.
In June, there was controversy over the opposition party that said: “The government refuses to comply with the request for data from the National Assembly without legal basis.” At the time, the Ministry of Leisure and Home Affairs refused to submit the business report for reasons such as that sensitive personal information of the comfort women victims was recorded in Eui-yeon’s project report. However, as controversy grew over the refusal to request data, she presented some of the data excluding personal information.
In the Plenary of the Leisure Committee on the 15th, “I asked for data, but I didn’t give it. There was no way to confirm how they were applied ”(Representative of the National Powers, Kim Mi-ae), he criticized.
Based on the results of examining the subsidy payment business alone, the Ministry of Leisure and Home Affairs has revealed that there is no problem with the procedure, but this point was reversed during the investigation of the prosecution.
“The Ministry of Recreation and Home Affairs changed strongly that there was no problem with the execution of the subsidy during the review of the agreement,” said Kim Jeong-jae, a member of the opposition party secretary. There is evidence of this. ”
An official from the Ministry of Leisure and Interior said: “For the cost of labor, I had confirmed the proof that the money had been deposited in the employee’s individual account.”
Currently, the Ministry of Recreation and Foreign Affairs is considering whether related measures, such as grants, can be redeemed only by prosecuting the indictment. According to the Subsidies Management Law, the competent ministries that have executed national subsidies can recover the remaining amount, excluding the amount already used, if it is confirmed that the organization using the subsidy is receiving illegally.
It is a position that also needs a review regarding the subsidy payment project for the second half of Eui-yeon, which has yet to be implemented. Minister Lee Jung-ok told the leisure committee on the 15th: “We need time for legal review” and “We will prepare so that there are no setbacks in supporting the victims of comfort women in the Japanese army as Chuseok holidays are coming. ” The Ministry of Leisure and Women provided between 60% and 70% of the subsidies to Eui-yeon as a support project for the victims of comfort women in the first half of the year, and approximately 30% of them remain . “We will review it as soon as possible,” said an official from the Ministry of Gender Equality.
Regarding the speech on the abolition of the Recreation Ministry, Minister Lee Jeong-ok said on the 31st of last month: “It is due to the lack of acceptance or understanding of the public for the leisure and recreation business.” However, there is also a side where the appearance of the controversial leisure woman in the recent series of events gave rise to inspiration. As the prosecution’s investigation revealed the lax supervisor of the women’s wife and wife allowance, a responsible response is still needed.
