迫切出台“禁止人种差别法案”
大家好,我是王璇，今天的 The AsiaN新闻，又同您见面了。 今天要为您播送的是一则关于韩国国会的消息。 7月11日，本站记者金南柱参加了于韩国国会立宪纪念馆召开多元文化政策讨论会。在讨论会上韩国新国家党旗下的韩籍菲律宾国会议员Jasmine Lee女士，希望为已经获得韩国国籍的外国劳动者，以及通过国际结婚来到韩国的女性争取权利。 但是会场的气氛并不理想。在这场韩国多元文化政策讨论会上，一名反对多元文化的极端保守主义男子冲入会场。高呼“多元文化主义是亡国之策”，“是灭亡民族之策”的口号，并且造成了国会议事混乱的场面。 此外还出现了反对派的倒掌声、嘲笑。对此记者认为即使发言的是不是韩国本土议员，也应该表示最基本的尊重。 最后，记者指出，韩国的多元文化社会，首先应该从树立从孩提时代的平等、尊敬，以及建立最基本的法制框架与新意识开始。 当然还是和往常一样，欢迎您点击我们的网站，浏览其他要闻。 我们的网站是 http://cn.theasian.asia/?p=5360 今天就到这里，谢谢您的收看。
