Today (20th), in the question of the government of the National Assembly, there was a debate over the failure of President Yoon Seok-yeol to pay condolences to Queen Elizabeth II of England.

The Democratic Party launched an offensive as a diplomatic disaster, and Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, who responded, was not able to properly grasp the president's local schedule and the position of the foreign minister, so criticism from the opposition was poured out.

Questions to the government in the field of foreign affairs, security and unification.



While the debate over the controversy over President Yoon Seok-yeol's 'missing condolences' was unfolding, Prime Minister Han Deok-soo's inaccurate answer fueled the controversy.

[Han Deok



-soo / Prime Minister: (The arrival time of the president) was probably around 1 o'clock, local time around 1 o'clock?]



You arrived at 3:30.

(Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.)]



[Han Deok-soo/Prime Minister: (Where was Minister of Foreign Affairs Park Jin?) Well, I was thinking about serving the president, but what else did the lawmaker do…

.

(I was in New York, in New York.)]



In the absence of the president, he was responsible for overseeing state affairs, but he could not even grasp the local schedule of the president or the location of the foreign minister.



In response to the strong offensive of the Democratic Party, the power of the people was countered that even the president's condolences were driving the political struggle.



[Yoon Sang-hyun / People's Power Rep.: This behavior that even this condolence diplomacy is driving domestic political contention. Isn't it time to change?]



He also countered that the Democratic Party continued to distort and slander the truth even though it had all the funeral-related examples.



[Park Hyung-soo/People's Power Floor Spokesperson: After meeting the Sangju, comforting him and attending the funeral, he wrote the condolences, not the condolences, then what?]



The Democratic Party also, like President Yoon, arrived in London after 3 pm on the 18th. Some foreign guests, including Emperor Hito, claimed that he had visited the shrine on the same day and that President Yun had forgotten to pay his condolences, but NHK confirmed that Emperor Naruhito visited the Queen's coffin late in the evening to pay condolences after receiving King Charles III's reception.
