He continued, “In fact, the bereaved families and our youth are only asking for one thing in the current situation. Since the prosecution’s investigation has been announced in such a mess, as President Moon Jae-in promised for the first time, he expressed his willingness to investigate and resolve the truth of the Sewol ferry disaster. “Do it.” On this day, he heard a picket that read’Again, Sewol’.
As Mr. Chae said, President Moon Jae-in has publicly said, “I will not forget,” since the days of the Democratic Party’s representative, and through a guestbook, etc., for a total of six times, “I pledge to clarify the complete truth of the Sewol ferry in front of the bereaved family and the people.” .

Regarding this, Park Seung-ryul, co-representative of the 4.16 Regiment met with “The Moon Jae-in government should know that there are really many citizens who are angry with the announcement of the results of the Special Forces investigation,” said “President Jae-in Moon responded accurately to this and the reinstatement of leader Kim Jin-sook including the Sewol ferry disaster. “We should not be silent any more about social issues such as the problem and the deep sea search of the Stella Daisy.”
At the same time, CEO Park said, “Citizens did everything they had to do,” he said, “I made the ruling party close to 180 seats in the National Assembly. However, I don’t know what has changed so that the term of office is over. What citizens want is the difference from the past. That’s the Moon Jae-in administration. “It is the least doctrine for the citizens who were born and supported.”
Meanwhile, the final picketing with citizens and families on this day was originally scheduled to be held in front of the Blue House fountain. However, the police blocked citizens with pickets from entering because of concerns about the spread of infectious diseases. For this reason, the final solidarity picketing was held in front of the Purme Center located across from the Cheongwoonhyoja Community Center near the Blue House. Families predicted that they would hold’distance picketing’ every Saturday afternoon until the facts were investigated.
