The People Power Party of the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly announced that they will do their utmost to establish a safety net to ensure that such a tragedy never happens again, ahead of the 11th anniversary of the Sewol ferry disaster.
On the 15th, the People Power Party of the Provincial Assembly stated in a memorial speech, "It is already the 11th anniversary of the Sewol ferry disaster," and "We sincerely pray for the repose of those who lost their lives in the unfortunate accident 11 years ago."
They continued, "Although more than 10 years have passed, we extend our condolences to the bereaved families and survivors who still spend painful spring days burying their beloved children, family members, and friends in their hearts," adding, "Our society is also changing, reflecting the earnest wishes of all."
In particular, they said, "To emphasize the importance of safety, 'National Safety Day' was established, and in July of last year, the name of the 'Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education 4·16 Democratic Citizenship Education Center' was changed to the 'Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education 4·16 Life Safety Education Center.' We believe this will serve as a greater stepping stone for spreading a culture of safety and respect for life within the province."
Furthermore, they promised, "The People Power Party will provide unwavering support to ensure that society plays a flawless role as a safety net so that such tragedies never recur," and pledged, "We will prioritize 'the lives and safety of the residents' as our foremost banner and do our best in upright legislative activities."
