Joo Ho-young: "‘Jaeinsanseong’ in Gwanghwamun Square... It’s Like a COVID Martial Law Declaration"
According to military special intelligence, North Korea ordered '762'
[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, criticized the National Foundation Day rally on the 4th, saying, "The 'Jaeeinsanseong' (Rein Fortress) piled up layer upon layer with buses at Gwanghwamun Square yesterday saddened the people," and added, "It is practically a declaration of a 'new coronavirus disease (COVID-19) martial law.'
At a press briefing held at the National Assembly that day, Floor Leader Joo said, "The Moon Jae-in administration set up checkpoints at 90 locations in Seoul and mobilized about 180 units and 10,000 police officers," and "They built a fortress with 300 police buses to completely block citizens' rallies."
Floor Leader Joo sharpened his criticism, saying, "What is President Moon Jae-in and this administration so afraid of?" and "Since when did the police take on quarantine duties? Medical and health quarantine are nowhere to be found; it has become a political and police quarantine state."
He pointed out, "The enlightened monarch of North Korea conducted COVID-19 quarantine with rifles and gasoline, while our president is using police buses and public authority to enforce quarantine," and asked, "In which advanced country in the world does the government exercise such massive public authority to suppress citizens' constitutional rights and freedoms under the pretext of quarantine?"
Regarding the North Korean shooting incident involving the missing public official from Yeonpyeong Island, Floor Leader Joo claimed, "The Blue House is conveniently distorting and producing special intelligence to escape from a corner," and added, "According to our military's special intelligence, there was an order from the North Korean high command to '762.' The instruction to '762' can clearly be seen as an order to shoot."
Floor Leader Joo stated, "Our party will take all possible measures, including a hearing, to repatriate the remains of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries employee and to uncover the truth of the incident."
