Chairman Cheon said, “Even if there was solicitation, solicitation he would have been alone. In the presence of a number of bodyguards, would it have been an act of solicitation that would feel like pressure?” He was caught, but given the current domestic. situation, it does not seem appropriate,’ he criticized.
Regarding the government and the ruling party belittling those receiving unemployment benefits with comments such as ‘syrup benefit’ and ‘Chanel sunglasses’, Chairman Cheon said, “The conservative camp always talk about flexible security. Even if maintaining employment is flexible, it is to supplement security through a social safety net led by unemployment benefits,” he said. We should not oversimplify the discussion,” he said.
Chairman Cheon said, “(Japan) the Fukushima (nuclear power plant) polluted water problem is also ridiculed by drinking tank water, and the grain control method is ‘eat a whole bowl of rice’. It’s becoming more and more,” he criticized.
