[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Gwangju Metropolitan City Party of the Democratic Party of Korea (Chairman Song Gap-seok) stated in a press release on the 13th, "April 16 this year marks the 6th anniversary of the Sewol Ferry disaster," and added, "The Democratic Party of Korea will not forget or overlook the pain of that day six years ago together with the people, and will do its utmost to uncover the truth and ensure that those responsible are punished."

The Democratic Party's Gwangju City Party emphasized, "Although the 6th anniversary of the Sewol Ferry disaster, which caused pain to the entire nation, is approaching, the investigation of the truth and punishment of those responsible remain distant," and added, "Based on the activities of the 1st and 2nd Special Investigation Committees that began in 2015 for fact-finding, a clear truth must be established through the ongoing prosecution special investigation team."

They also stated, "The Moon Jae-in administration and the Democratic Party will strive to ensure that tragedies like the Sewol Ferry disaster never happen again," and said, "All candidates running in Gwangju will also take the lead in efforts at the National Assembly level to create a safe Republic of Korea where the people can feel secure."

Furthermore, they added, "Despite the memorial atmosphere marking the 6th anniversary of the disaster, the United Future Party insults the bereaved families with a series of outrageous remarks and belittles the Sewol Ferry disaster," and continued, "The shameless behavior of the United Future Party, which turns the painful wounds remaining in the hearts of the bereaved families and all of us into a political battleground, will never be forgiven by the people."
