Busan civic groups accused Busan Mayor Park Hyeong-jun of the People’s Power of the People’s Strength to the Busan District Prosecutor’s Office on charges of spreading false information and abuse of authority under the Public Official Election Act. This is due to suspicion of illegally inspecting civic groups and activists in Busan that oppose the Four Rivers Project during the Cheong Wa Dae Public Relations Planning Office in 2009. Officials from civic groups raised their voices, saying, “You should not leave Busan municipal administration to those who have conducted private inspections.”
The Busan Civil Movement Association and the Busan Environmental Movement Association held a press conference at the Busan District Prosecutor’s Office on the 16th and condemned Park’s illegal investigation of civilians. They argued that “Candidate Park is consistently leading the civilian inspections related to the Four Major Rivers,” he said.
Earlier, on the 10th, a broadcaster released a document stating that candidate Park inspected civic groups and officials from civic groups that had campaigned against the Four Major Rivers project in July 2009 when Park was working as a PR planning officer at the Blue House. The document contains contents such as that the Blue House at the time was asked to identify corruption in the process of securing funds for activities of civic groups or personal difficulties of the concerned. At the top of the document, a phrase presumed to have been requested by the Blue House Public Relations Planning Office is included.
The Busan Civil Movement Association and the Busan Environmental Movement Association reported on the 16th that a controversy was raised that the Lee Myung-bak administration led the illegal inspection of civilians against the Four Major Rivers project, and the Busan Mayoral candidate, Park Hyung-joon, was charged with spreading false information under the Public Official Election Act.

Moon-beom Oh, Secretary General of the YWCA, said, “In the document, it is clearly recorded that the public relations planning officer at the time was directed by Park Hyung-joon to understand the trends of major local civic groups including Busan.” “It is very irresponsible that Candidate Park denies all facts. If you say you didn’t know this, it’s a job abandonment,” he strongly criticized.
Lee Seong-geun, executive director of Busan Green Trust, said, “It is vividly remembered that civil society officials who opposed the Four Rivers Project at the time suffered various unfounded suspicions and obstruction.” It must be revealed.”
They refuted Park’s claim that it was an election manipulation ahead of the 4.7 by-election. Law Firm Minsim Attorney Byun Young-cheol said, “The documents related to civilian inspections on the Four Major Rivers are data obtained through a request for disclosure of information after the Supreme Court’s final decision in November last year,” he said. “It is not the election manipulation that Candidate Park claims.”
