[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Future Korea Party criticized the Justice and Memory Foundation (hereinafter referred to as Justice Foundation) for stating that it "cannot disclose the details of donations" as "audacity beyond measure."


On the 12th, Cho Tae-yong, spokesperson for the Future Korea Party, said, "If the Justice Foundation truly cares about the wounds suffered by the grandmothers, the order should be to disclose the detailed donation records first to resolve the public's curiosity."


Spokesperson Cho criticized, "I thought the suspicions raised so far would be somewhat resolved by the Justice Foundation holding a press conference, but it was only self-excuses, blaming the media and others," adding, "They say they cannot disclose the donation details that everyone is curious about and call it 'harsh.' Audacity beyond measure has its limits."


He continued, "Have they forgotten that all controversies started with President-elect Yoon and the Justice Foundation?" and pointed out, "The Justice Foundation complained that they have not had a single comfortable day in 30 years, but I hope they first consider the sense of betrayal felt by the grandmothers who have been deceived and exploited for 30 years."


Spokesperson Cho urged once again, "We call for the disclosure of the Justice Foundation's activities and detailed donation records," emphasizing, "The 'prior explanation' that led to the controversy over President-elect Yoon's changing statements must also be revealed."



He said, "It has already been reported in the media that Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials and President-elect Yoon exchanged opinions several times in advance, and this is also mentioned in the publicly available Task Force (TF) report reviewing the agreement on the issue of Japanese military comfort women victims," adding, "If President-elect Yoon's memory is distorted, the undisclosed parts of the TF report can be checked. At this opportunity, I request the government to disclose the undisclosed parts of the TF report."
