At the National Assembly’s politics, diplomacy, reunification, and security questionnaire held on the 4th, a sharp fight over the suspicion of the North Korean nuclear power plant construction continued. Rep. Kwon Seong-dong said, “The opposition party raised a common-sense question about the suspicion of the North Korean nuclear power plant construction, but the ruling party has risen up like a swarm and scares the opposition representative.” In response, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun said, “The opposition party’s raising of issues regarding the North Korean nuclear power plant was not normal. “I took the problem in a direction that was completely unrealistic, politically.” In response to Kwon’s request for acceptance of the state affairs investigation, Prime Minister Chung was confronted with the “area of the National Assembly”, and said, “Don’t the Democrats listen to the President’s words?” It’s a big season,” and protests poured out in the Democratic Party’s seats. Prime Minister Chung also raised his voice for a moment, asking, “What are you talking about?” At the 2018 inter-Korean summit, when asked several times whether President Moon Jae-in handed it over to North Korea’s chairman of the North Korean state affairs committee, or not to disclose the USB storage device (USB), Prime Minister Chung said: As a rule, it is a principle not to disclose it even as a practice.” The ruling party criticized the opposition party for raising problems over the’suspicion of promoting North Korean nuclear power plant construction’, but stressed that the role of the government is to prevent the spread of political conflict. Democratic Party lawmaker Lee Sang-min said, “The opposition party raises suspicion that the government is pushing the North Korean nuclear power plant in secret, but I think there is a serious error. When the government asked the people to explain it carefully to prevent the exhausting political struggle, Prime Minister Jeong replied, “The Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy has already made it clear, and most of the people probably feel that the suspicion has now been clarified.” Independent Congressman Hong Joon-pyo and Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun were also engaged in a nervous war as the next presidential election runners. Rep. Hong, who revealed that he had been asking the government for the first time in 15 years, asked, “The Prime Minister’s words have been very rough these days, but when I was about to go to the presidential election, did that happen?” I don’t know.” “I’m not going out for the presidential election” to the question to Congressman Hong, “I am busy fighting Corona right now,” he replied. “Is the president doing good family management?” “Is it okay for the president to sue the opposition chairman?” Prime Minister Chung said, “I think Hong is one of the opposition leaders. When you call the prime minister and ask questions in the current situation, how will you wipe the tears of the people, how will you plan the future so that the next generation can live well? There is also an inter-Korean issue, but isn’t the issue inappropriate?” When asked about the real estate issue, Prime Minister Chung said, “I didn’t want to blame others, so I didn’t say that, but the amount of housing that is being supplied is actually the things that were sown when the presidents of the two political parties with whom Hong was in power.” When he answered, booing and old castle broke out from the power of the people. In addition, when asked by Congressman Hong, “Can we talk about national unity without the release of former Presidents Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye?”, Prime Minister Chung said, “I strongly agree with the national unity, but the issue is difficult to implement unless the public consent is preceded.” After taking office, Justice Minister Park Beom-gye attended the first questionnaire to the government of the National Assembly, revealing his position on the prosecution’s investigation into the bribery case of former Prime Minister Han Myung-sook and the case of collusion with prosecution. In response to the question of Democratic Party lawmaker Hong Young-pyo, “the exact truth is not sufficiently grasped,” said Minister Park. “There is a part that is close to being innocent at the moment, and on the contrary, there is not enough investigation. “There is a strong question about whether the actual truth is (what has been revealed) in a state that has not been fulfilled.” Minister Park responded to the suspicion that the prosecution called a prisoner who was in prison in the past in connection with the bribery case of former Prime Minister Han Myung-sook to “practice testimony”, “The prosecution is currently underway. If there was witness practice, it would be very inappropriate.” “The Supreme Prosecutor’s Office is willing to inspect it. The situation is not enough to worry about the statute of limitations.” By Jang Na-rae, staff reporter [email protected]
