Families of Missing Persons in the 'Gwangju Collapse Accident' Condemn Local Lawmakers for Indifferent Attitude

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Jin-hyung] Regarding the 'Gwangju Metropolitan City Hwajeong I-Park Collapse Accident,' the families of the missing persons condemned on the 15th, "We sent emails to politicians, but none of them replied."

Representative Ahn of the Missing Persons Families Countermeasure Committee said to reporters on the day, "Yesterday, we asked local members of the National Assembly via email to pay attention to the accident, but not a single politician responded."

He explained, "We sent emails about the wrongdoings of Hyundai Development Company. We have no power, do we? Currently, many citizens are unaware of this accident. Isn't Gwangju a big city? If interest fades, the person who caused the accident will be the happiest, so we asked for attention."

He continued, "Since there is no reply, we suspect that they might be colluding with that company (Hyundai Development Company). It's not that we are saying they should come to the site because it is inconvenient. However, we cannot understand their attitude of acting as if it is not their business," he pointed out.

Ahn stated, "If you are a Gwangju member of the National Assembly and a politician, then if it is not your business, whose business is it? The people did not give you the right to ignore it. If you act on your own, we would not even suspect collusion," he claimed.

He added, "It would be fine if they acted on their own, but since they do not, we are speaking out. But even when we speak, it echoes back, so there is nothing we can do," he said. "If this incident is not properly resolved in Gwangju's political circles, will they receive votes from the citizens? I myself would not want to give them my vote," he criticized.

Finally, he said, "If interest fades, who will rescue our families? If things go wrong, they might remain missing and be buried until the apartment is sold," adding, "All we can do is appeal to the citizens like this."
