Jeon Jeom-sik directly criticizes Choo Mi-ae's apology: "An apology made just because someone tells you to apologize is not a genuine apology."

Translated from Korean Read in Korean

정점식 국민의힘 원내대표는 추미애 경기지사가 소방 재정 빨대라는 발언에 대해 비판하였으며, 사과하라고 요구하는 것이 진정한 사과라고 보지 못했다. 추미애는 지방자치단체 재정 문제와 소방공무원 예산에 대해 비판을 받았으며, 이후 김 소방위의 빈소를 찾아 사과를 바라며 발언에 대한 반성을 표명하였다. 국민의힘 지도부는 추미애의 논란 발언에 대해 김 소방위의 빈소를 찾아 조문할 계획이며, 이를 김민석 더불어민주당 대표가 지난 16일 조희대 대법원장 탄핵 추진 논의에 대해 비판한 것과 연결지었다고 밝혔다.
