Presidential candidate Ahn Cheol-soo of the People’s Party announced on the 4th that “there should be no extenuating circumstances for crimes committed by drinking alcohol.”

On the same day, Candidate Ahn posted on his Facebook page, saying, “It is contradictory to commute drunk driving offenses while severely punishing drunk driving.”

He emphasized, “It is not fair to show mercy in itself for the same criminal act because he was intoxicated.”

He also said, “Some people are talking about the principle of responsibility under the Criminal Act that no crime can be established without responsibility, but it is an over-interpretation to view criminal acts resulting from voluntary drinking of adults as irresponsible acts,” he said. You have to be able to control yourself enough.”

Candidate Ahn said, “The social atmosphere that tries to get over it in moderation, saying, ‘You can do it after drinking,’ causes more crimes. ” he asserted.
