Rep. Jeon Jae-hee Continues Fast

Rep. Shim Jae-cheol (right) and supporters visited the Grand National Party’s Rep. Jeon Jae-hee (second from the left), who is fasting in protest of the National Assembly’s passing of the Administrative Capital Law, at the floor leader’s office in the National Assembly on March 4. Before the visit, Rep. Jeon told party leader Park Geun-hye, who had come to visit, that “the citizens should vote on whether they approve the Administrative Capital Law or not,” but received the answer that “There is no need for a vote since this is not a matter of capital relocation.”
