Recently, wildfires have followed.

The damage from wildfires is really long and long.

In relation to the wildfire in Goseong, Gangwon-do, which occurred two years ago, the compensation issue is still not resolved.

At the time, the victims protested to return the tractor.

Reporter Ji-hwan reported on what was going on.

Dozens of tractors have been built in the Gangwon-do Office Square.

This tractor was purchased with support from the government and local governments after the wildfire in Goseong, Gangwon-do, which occurred two years ago.

Farmers decided to return the tractor in kind as a protest against the government’s policy to claim compensation for wildfire damage.

Here is the story.

In April 2019, a forest fire in Goseong, Gangwon-do, where over 1,500 victims occurred.

At the time, the government immediately paid compensation to the victims.

The total scale is around 30 billion won.

However, through a police investigation, it was revealed that the cause of the forest fire was KEPCO, and the government decided to claim the right to remedy KEPCO.

Then, KEPCO has set a policy to pay only the remaining amount as compensation after subtracting the claim for indemnity rights.

In this way, the victims will hardly receive compensation from KEPCO.

The Ministry of Public Administration and Security has stated that, in view of other social disaster cases, lawsuits for claims for reimbursement are inevitable.

While Gangwon-do repeatedly requested the government to reconsider its policy of claiming reimbursement rights, victims visited the headquarters of KEPCO sooner or later and announced a hard-line struggle such as hunger strikes.
