Politicians from both the ruling and opposition parties urged with one voice that safety measures should be taken, saying that there are insufficient parts in the operation or facilities of the event in relation to the number of patients suffering from heat exhaustion at the World Scout Jamboree Campsite in Saemangeum, Jeonbuk.
People’s Power Yoon Jae-ok, head of the National Assembly, met with reporters after visiting the senior citizen’s heat shelter during the day and said, “I called the Minister of Gender Equality and Family, Kim Hyun-sook, in the morning to ask me to manage the safety-related situation well at the site.”
Wonnae Yoon emphasized, “I know that the head of the Office for Government Policy Coordination is going down to the site, but I think that the relevant ministries should take thorough safety measures after seeing the situation at the site.”
Kim Byeong-min, the top member of the same party, also pointed out at the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly this morning, “If the heatwave continues as it is now without shade, concerns that the health of many members will deteriorate will inevitably grow.”
Supreme Commissioner Kim said, “There are even reports that even the most basic supplies such as ice and water for body temperature management are not properly supplied.” If this situation gets worse, we urge you to seek all alternatives so that measures can be taken at any time.”
In addition, Democratic Party floor spokesperson Kim Han-gyu also met with reporters at the National Assembly this morning and said, “I think the government is insufficient in responding to the field.” To prevent this from happening, the government should take care of the situation at the site and take active measures to resolve difficulties,” he ordered.
Spokesman Kim Won-nae added, “Even if it is confirmed later on what the cause of the problem was in the preparation process, the government should actively take care of it so that additional complaints do not come out rather than pursuing responsibility.”
Yesterday evening, the opening ceremony of the 2023 World Scout Jamboree was held in Saemangeum, Buan-gun, Jeollabuk-do. In the process, until early this morning, 88 participants from each country complained of symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, and exhaustion, and were taken to the hospital.
