In response to the government's apology for the Qin 'fiscal straw' remark, "Long-winded self-excuses... shameless"

“秋 says, ‘I ask for an apology, so I apologize’… It’s sad to see unfairness taking precedence.”

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ryu Mina = On the 17th, the People Power Party criticized Gyeonggi Province Governor Choo Mi-ae's apology for her so-called financial straw remarks at the funeral of a firefighter who died in a Bucheon factory fire, saying, "I cannot help but feel devastated at the sight of her putting injustice ahead of her own mistakes."

Chief Spokesperson Park Seong-hoon said in a commentary that day that Governor Chu apologized at a meeting with reporters after paying his respects and said, "'Since you want an apology, I apologize with all my heart.'"

Chief Spokesperson Park said, “Governor Chu’s apology was arrogant to the end,” and asked, “Did he go there to apologize or make excuses?”

At the same time, he criticized, "What is even more surprising is the lengthy self-excuse he gave right after the apology. He talked about financial issues, listed his past achievements, and finally appealed to know the true meaning of his remarks," and criticized, "The mortuary of a fallen firefighter is not a civil affairs office that resolves Governor Chu's injustice."

Choi Soo-jin, the chief spokesperson of the National Assembly, also met with reporters at the National Assembly and said, "I am surprised. It is shameless and of course I will not accept it as an apology," and added, "Please apologize properly."
