"The compulsory compensation judgment should be implemented promptly." ... The ruling party presidential candidate insists on the Japanese government = South Korea

Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea and the ruling party of Korea, insisted on the 1st that the Japanese government should promptly implement the compulsory requisition judgment.

Lee said on his Facebook page this afternoon, "Delayed justice is not justice." "On November 29th, three years ago, the Daiho-in Temple (Supreme Court) ruled that the plaintiff won the case in a lawsuit for damages filed by a victim of forced recruitment against Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in Japan. The pain of the difficult trial process, which had lasted for more than five years, was expected to end with a winning decision, but the victims of forced recruitment have had a harder time than at the time of the proceedings."

He continued, "The reason is that Mitsubishi has not paid a consolation fee despite the decision of the Daiho-in Temple, and if an asset seizure or a sale order is given, it will prolong the time by protesting."

Candidate Lee expressed concern about the Japanese government's response. "Since the decision of the Supreme Court, the Japanese government has continuously suggested" economic retaliation "to the Korean government and denied the outcome of the trial" he said. In addition, he said, "We must find a solution to the problem again on the premise of accepting the judgment of the Supreme Court."

"Our government should also proactively set out to resolve it, and while avoiding diplomatic conflicts, two out of five elderly victims died. The victims have more time to wait. I want to work together so that it doesn't get too long. "
