Presidential Office inspects wildfire response situation, ”All efforts to strengthen safety management”

On the 23rd, the Presidential Office held a meeting of senior secretaries chaired by Chief of Staff Jeong Jin-seok to review the response to the wildfires that are spreading across the nation and to discuss measures to strengthen safety management in the future.
A presidential office official said, "On this day, the chief of staff presided over a meeting of the top officials, and the relevant secretaries' offices, including the National Political Situation Room, reported on the current state of the response to the wildfires that have been spreading across the country since their outbreak.
"In response to this, we have been discussing ways to ensure that the fires can be put out as quickly as possible," he said. The Presidential Office is continuously monitoring the fire situation across the country through the National Situation Room.
"We expect strong winds tomorrow, so we will focus on putting out the big fires before sunset today," said a presidential office official.
"We agreed that we should focus all our efforts on the night shift and ensure that nighttime work is done properly," he said. The message from the presidential office also touches on President Yoon Seok-yeol's intentions.
On the same day, President Yoon Seok-yeol wrote on his social media that "30 forest fires have caused major damage across the country," and that "the central and local governments will mobilize all available assets to quickly put out the forest fires,
President Yoon Seok-yeol said, "Thanks to the dedicated efforts of firefighters and public servants, the fires have been quickly put out in many places, but five places are still struggling and the number of victims is increasing.
"I am truly sorry for the loss of all of these lives," he said. "I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to the victims and all those who are spending the night in evacuation centers, and I pray for the safety of the firefighters and public servants."
Since his release on the 7th, President Yoon Seok-yeo has restrained his outside activities and messages. However, on this day, President Yoon broke his silence and spoke out to minimize the damage caused by the forest fires across the country and to raise the people's awareness.
In the political world, he was suspended from his duties due to the impeachment proceedings by the National Assembly, but as he is still the incumbent president, he is showing his presence and is also a key figure in the impeachment proceedings.
This is thought to be an action intended to pave the way for the formation of favorable public opinion until now.
