President Wen “You can’t thank the auditor for political purposes”

President Moon Jae-in said, “I don’t think it’s a political audit,” and “You shouldn’t do an audit for political purposes,” he said with President Choi Jae-hyung, who also audited the post-nuclear power plant policy following the evaluation of the economic feasibility of shutting down the Wolseong nuclear power plant.

In addition, the Democratic Party is intensively criticizing the auditor’s successive appreciation of the current government’s post-nuclear policy shake. On the other hand, the power of the people insisted that the Blue House and the ruling party were in a political politics.

At a New Year’s press conference on the morning of the 18th, President Moon Jae-in said, “The first audit of the Wolseong nuclear power plant is the first audit of the standing committee of the National Assembly. It was an audit conducted according to the opinion of the audit request, and this audit was made in accordance with the public interest audit request, so I know that the audit will be conducted to the minimum extent.”

President Moon replied, “I don’t think that auditing is an audit for political purposes,” he said. “Also, I don’t think the auditor should do it for political purposes.” President Moon said about the prosecution’s investigation, “The investigation was conducted as the investigation was transferred at the time, and I don’t think that any more political purposes are being investigated,” he said. “For the independence of the auditor and the neutrality of the prosecution, “We are proud that we have kept the principle of not intervening at all.”

In a commentary on the 15th, Shin Young-dae, a spokesman for the Democratic Party, said in a commentary on the last 15 days that the Audit and Inspection Service began to audit whether the government’s energy conversion policy establishment procedure was appropriate. “The auditors should stop’political gratitude’ that abuses the right of audit,” he criticized.

This audit is a public interest claimed by former member of the Future Integration Party, Gap-yoon Jeong, saying that the Moon Jae-in administration’s 8th power supply plan (with a nuclear power generation ratio of 11%) contradicted the 2nd Basic Energy Plan (nuclear power rate of 29%) established during the Park Geun-hye administration. According to the audit, it was’was it appropriate to change the sub-standard electricity supply and demand plan before changing the basic energy plan?’ Shin said, “There is a separate confirmation procedure for the electricity supply and demand plan according to the Electricity Business Act, so it is possible to change the basic energy plan or change it without deliberation by the Energy Committee.” “The Ministry of Industry has been established in accordance with the procedures stipulated in the relevant laws. He said there was no position.” In the case of the Supreme Court precedent that the upper plan is not legally binding on the lower plan, it cannot be considered illegal even if they are different from each other. Criticized.

In particular, Shin said he appreciates that the Moon Jae-in administration, which has committed to a gradual reduction of nuclear power plants, has not followed the basic policies of the Park Geun-hye administration with different policy resolutions. The opposition party is also compelling that the government’s policy cannot change even if the regime changes. Also pointed out.

In an article posted on Facebook on the 14th, Lim Jong-seok, former chief of the Blue House, also said, “This time, Chairman Choi Jae-hyung is exceeding the level.” As a weapon, he bravely jumped into the middle of politics.” He said, “I guarantee the term of office to work with confidence, not to be aware of the power, so I boldly politicize the term with a shield,” he said. “I told him to keep the house well, and then he tried to occupy the home. He said that he should work with him, and he pretended to be the owner.” Director Lim Jeon criticized, “Another power that is struggling for the weaknesses of laws and institutions, the people who are the masters of power, have a lot of thoughts about how to control them.”

On the same day, Lee Won-young, a member of the Democratic Party, also wrote on a Facebook page that said, “This audit for overturning the energy conversion policy has crossed the line that the auditor should not go over.” “The president elected by the people kept the promises made with the people through the resolution of the State Council. I will take it as a problem. He added that “the government policy is a clear political audit that is directly contrary to the words of President Jae-hyung Choi, who said that the government policy is not subject to audit,” he added.

On the other hand, the power of the people accused the Democratic Party of raising the issue of the recently raised tritium leak from the Wolseong nuclear power plant as a governmental politics. Policy Committee Chairman Lee Jong-bae argued that the Democratic Party’s prosecution at the in-house countermeasure meeting on the 15th was a desperate struggle to neutralize the audit for the post-nuclear power project initiated by the auditor, and to prevent the investigation of the prosecution at Wolseong nuclear power plant operation. At a press conference, Kim Young-sik, secretary of the National Assembly’s Trade, Industry and Energy Committee and Kim Seok-ki, the secretary of the Foreign Affairs and Transportation Affairs Committee, also said at a press conference. It is only a peacock politics.
