李在明大統領は木曜日、ソウルで作業員3人が死亡した西小門高架橋の崩落事故について、迅速な捜査と責任者への厳重な処罰を求めた。
李在明大統領は、ソウル西部で解体工事中の西小門高架橋の一部が崩落した事故から2日後、上級補佐官との会議を主宰する中でこのように述べた。
李大統領はまた、高速通勤鉄道GTX-A路線の三成駅における地下建設工事で、鉄筋が不足したまま完了していたことが最近明らかになったことにも言及した。同大統領は「これらの事件は、公共の安全確保を主導すべき公共部門が関与しているという点で特に深刻である」と述べた。
同日遅く、雇用労働省はソウル市当局からの申請を受け、西小門高架橋の解体工事再開を条件付きで承認した。同省は、承認は作業員の安全対策を新たに追加することが条件であると述べた。ソウル市政府は、金曜日の深夜から緊急解体工事を開始するとしている。
X（旧Twitter）上のメディアアカウントでは、作業員3人が死亡した西小門高架橋の崩落事故を受け、李在明大統領が迅速な捜査と厳重な処罰を求めたという報告が共有された。あるユーザーは、死亡した現場責任者に責任を負わせることの実現可能性について疑問を呈した。

President Lee Jae Myung said Saturday he survived a 2024 knife attack thanks to public support. He vowed to devote himself fully to the country after the civil rights commission overturned an earlier ruling on his medical airlift.
A recent poll indicates President Lee Jae-myung's approval rating has dropped to 57.1 percent, marking the first decline in six weeks. The fall is partly attributed to social debates over the fairness of government plans to merge major cities and provinces, as well as lowering the criminal punishment age. The ruling party's support also dipped, while the opposition saw a slight rise.
