In a statement, the Citizens’ Countermeasures Committee called for this, saying, “Minister Lee should be held responsible for the disaster and should be removed, and he should be investigated urgently to cover legal responsibility.”
They also criticized the fact that members of the People’s Power left in opposition to the proposal for dismissal, and that members of the Special Committee on State Affairs belonging to this party expressed their intention to resign.
The citizens’ countermeasure meeting said, “The power of the people is to immediately stop the fearless behavior of holding the ankle of a fact-finding without sanctuary and accountability and driving a nail into the hearts of the bereaved families and victims once once more.”
The Citizens’ Countermeasures Meeting is a meeting created by 174 civic groups, including the People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy and Citizens’ Coalition for Democratic Media, with the goal of finding out the truth regarding the 10.29 disaster and supporting victims.
