Let’s take a look at the movement of the opposition.
Today, the leadership of the people’s power ate ‘1,000 won breakfast’ with college students?
[기자]
Yes, CEO Kim Ki-hyun visited the student cafeteria of Kyunghee University in Seoul today and ate ‘1,000 won breakfast’ and listened to the public sentiment of the youth.
The 1,000 won breakfast is a government policy designed to ease the burden of food expenses for university students amid high prices.
Representative Kim had a meal with the students and listened to the additional policies and worries of young people.
This visit to the university is interpreted as a response to the decline in the party’s approval rating, especially among young people, following the controversy over the ’69-hour work week’.
The leadership of the Democratic Party pinched these moves of the passport and attacked, saying, “The people do not know what the hell this government is going to do.”
At the same time, Park Hong-geun, floor leader, urged that the nation’s fate depend on labor policy and low birth rate policy, even now, from the starting point.
Meanwhile, as it is known that the Japanese government will announce today the results of the textbook inspection containing the claim of distortion of history, the political world is closely watching.
Ho-young Joo met with reporters at the National Assembly and drew a line saying that if Japan distorts textbooks, it would be “Japan’s fault” and that “it has absolutely nothing to do with the Korea-Japan summit.”
Song Eon-seok, vice president of the National Assembly, also said that when history textbooks are distorted, condemnation at the party level and strong protest from the government are needed.
The Democratic Party raised its voice, saying that the price of the ‘third party compensation plan’ for forced mobilization is a history distortion textbook.
Park Hong-geun, floor leader of the Democratic Party, submitted a so-called “request to conduct a state affairs investigation to find out the truth regarding humiliating diplomacy with Japan” this week, and said that he would also promote holding hearings by related standing committees.
