Opposition parties criticized it as a waste of money. At the on-site meeting of the Supreme Council of the Democratic Party of Korea held at the Jeonbuk Provincial Office on the 16th, Supreme Councilor Park Chan-dae said: “The beneficiaries are the people and the president’s office retorted that the new construction of the guesthouse is different because it is a transfer cost for the attached structures, not a transfer cost for the presidential office. ” “Do you think this is an excuse from another world? It is a trick to increase the relative budget as much as possible with the excuse of the budget for the construction of the annexed plants”.
Park said, “They say the pensioners are the people, right?” “It is said that the old kings built new palaces and made excuses,” for the good of the people.
In a briefing written the same day, Democratic Party spokesman Kim Eui-gyeom said: “The move to the Blue House is ‘Pouring water into bottomless poison’.” I was admitted, but the amount is too large to be considered a ‘bokchae’. “He criticized:” I am simply stunned by the shamelessness of the Yun Seok-yeol government to build a super luxurious pension without considering people’s livelihood and skip it. preliminary feasibility study “.
Meanwhile, Park Ji-won, former director of the National Intelligence Service, told YTN radio “New King Park Ji-hoon” that day: “Since the election, a reporter from the Seoul Voice of Korea called Kim Gun-hee and he said: ‘I asked a certain judge and he said he was elected president. They told me that the pension should be moved too, “and they pointed to the pension and talked about it.” He said: “At the market it is known that ‘Ms. Kun-hee Kim first heard about moving her pension’, but it’s not desirable. ”
Former director Park said: “At first it was said that the transfer of the presidential office would cost 49.5 billion won, but it costs more than 80 billion won by diverting the ministries budget.” to build a Gutaye Guesthouse? eliminating all local currency as the currency revitalizes the local economy? ” he pointed out. He continued: “If the current Blue House is used as it is, there will be no problems.” “How long will you be at the top? There is no use of retirement (rarely),” he added.
