“The presidential pledge to shut down the 1st Wolseong nuclear power plant”
“I cannot understand what is subject to judicial judgment”

The Blue House said on the 10th that the prosecution is investigating the suspicion of “manipulating the economic feasibility of the Wolseong nuclear power plant Unit 1”, he said, “I cannot convince myself that it is subject to judicial judgment.”

Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok said in a written briefing on the’Wolseong nuclear power plant investigation’, saying, “The closure of the Wolseong nuclear power plant is a pledge of the president, and it was selected as a major policy task by the government and was promoted publicly.” He said, “I will not specifically comment on whether or not to order the Blue House because it is an ongoing trial.”

Previously, an arrest warrant against former Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy Baek Woon-gyu, who was accused of intervening in the economic evaluation and manipulation of Wolseong nuclear power plant No. 1, was dismissed on the 9th. Deputy Chief Judge Oh Se-yong of the Warrant of the Daejeon District Court dismissed the arrest warrant of the former Minister Baek, saying, “It is not enough to say that the data submitted so far have been sufficiently clarified for the crime charges, and there seems to be room for a dispute over the crime charges.”

The Blue House did not take a separate position in this regard. However, a key member of the Blue House said on the previous day (9th), “We will change our position with the answers given by Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun and Justice Minister Park Beom-gye in the government question.”

In a question about the government of the National Assembly on the 5th, Prime Minister Chung said, “It is curious how this matter becomes the subject of judicial judgment” regarding the request for an arrest warrant from Baek. He said, “The early closure of Wolseong Unit 1 was a pledge of President Moon Jae-in, and was selected as one of the top 100 national affairs after taking office,” he said. “Economic evaluation can vary depending on the times and circumstances.”

In a post on Facebook after the arrest warrant for former Minister Baek was dismissed, Prime Minister Chung also said in a post on Facebook that “if the national policy direction is right and wrong and the standard of law is taken, public officials cannot work with confidence.” He said, “The auditor should do the job of the auditor, the prosecution should do the job of the prosecution, and the government should do the job of the government.”

On April 3, 2018, after receiving a report of the need for a’temporary operation’ of Wolseong Unit 1 from the then head of the Ministry of Industry’s Ministry of Industry, Jeong Mo (unconstrained prosecution), he rebuked the report with’Immediate shutdown’, saying, “You will die” You are being charged with instructing you to write.
