Park Joo-min in the judgment of the Sewol ferry, “It’s a seascape that’s worse than fishermen… I’m disappointed.”

In addition, Rep. Park Ju-min, who served as the chairman of the Democratic Party’s Social Disaster TF, announced that it was a “very disappointing ruling” that the court recently sentenced the Marine Police Command to acquittal at the time of the Sewol ferry disaster.

On the 16th, Rep. Park appeared on YTN radio’Hwang Bo-seon’s Departure New Morning’ and said this.

Rep. Park said, “At the time, the coast guard often showed ridiculous appearances for the people to accept during the rescue process.” I thought the sea police officers would take responsibility,” he said.

“I am very disappointed with the judgment of the court. According to the law, the Central Rescue Headquarters should manage and coordinate the search and rescue operations. However, the rescue forces used only one or two means and did not make any additional efforts. Insisted.

As a basis, Congressman Park pointed out that he did not check the phone number of the 112 reporter and that he did not disembark at the site.

Regarding the court’s judgment that the commanding division, such as former Commissioner Kim Seok-gyun, could not have been sufficiently aware of the situation at the time, it was “the court denied the role of the Central Rescue Headquarters.” “I think it is only true that the Central Rescue Headquarters is still to say that it may have made the judgment after listening to the contents of the TRS communication in the field.”

Regarding the judgment of the judiciary that “the speed of the Sewol ferry ties was unusually fast, it would have been difficult to respond manually”, “The fishermen who were on the scene at the time saw that no one was out of the boat and said,’The majority of them will be on board. “It was a very frustrating situation, but there is a regret that the court couldn’t figure it out properly,” he said.

Rep. Park also conveyed the feelings of the bereaved family.

He said, “I was worried about yesterday, and I contacted one of my bereaved families, and I said that it was very difficult to breathe, and I don’t know how frustrating it was.” He said.

Rep. Park also responded to the anchor’s question, “What do you think as a ruling party member about the press conference of the bereaved family members saying, “I am grieving because this ruling came from the Moon Jae-in government.” “There is also such a regret that what would have been the result if it was done”.

In the end, Congressman Park said, “I think there is ample room for the prosecution to reinforce the investigation in the future to further reveal the allegations of the command,” and “I think we should convene and review the social disaster TF meeting first. We will actively respond to it in the future.” Added.
