Ha Tae-kyung: "Arrest Jeon Gwang-hoon... Lee Hae-chan Must Also Be Severely Punished"

"The Early COVID-19 Crisis Was Worse Than Shincheonji"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the Future United Party, stated on the 17th, "The main culprit undermining the national quarantine system is the double standard of the Moon Jae-in administration," and added, "Pastor Jeon Gwang-hoon, who destroyed the national quarantine system, should be arrested and severely punished, and Lee Hae-chan, the leader of the Democratic Party of Korea who provided the pretext, along with the Deputy Mayor of Seoul, should be strictly disciplined."

On the same day, Ha said on Facebook, "Pastor Jeon mobilized his church members to attend a rally in Seoul despite the confirmation of a large-scale COVID-19 outbreak at his church," and added, "The quarantine efforts that countless medical staff, public officials, and citizens have worked hard on were instantly wasted. This situation is worse than Shincheonji in the early stages of the COVID-19 crisis."

Ha emphasized, "The Democratic Party and the Seoul city government, which provided the pretext for this incident, must also be held accountable. The Democratic Party and Seoul city forcibly held a large-scale funeral for the late Park Won-soon at Seoul Plaza, where rallies are banned, giving Pastor Jeon's side the pretext to proceed with the rally," and continued, "Therefore, Pastor Jeon, who held an illegal rally, should be reported, and by the same logic, Lee Hae-chan and the Deputy Mayor of Seoul should also be reported."

Ha pointed out, "The police reportedly requested an authoritative interpretation from the Ministry of Health and Welfare to examine the illegality of the late Mayor Park's memorial altar. The police wasted their effort. I have already obtained all the information from the Ministry of Health and Welfare. The Ministry's response was, 'We don't know; ask the police,'" and added, "The Prime Minister's Office told the Ministry of Health and Welfare to ask the police, the Ministry told the police to ask the Ministry, and the police said they would ask the Ministry again?a comedic cycle repeated."

Ha said, "Seoul city installed an illegal memorial altar that broke its own quarantine principles, and since it could not manage the situation, government departments are passing the responsibility around like a hot potato," and concluded, "This is why people like Pastor Jeon take the national quarantine system lightly and proceed with rallies."
