[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] Social organizations in the abandoned mine areas of Gangwon Province and the Korea Mine Reclamation Corporation Our Labor Union issued a joint statement on the 27th opposing the attempt to resubmit the 'Korea Mining Corporation Act.'

Earlier, on the 26th of last month, they raised concerns over the reintroduction of the 'Korea Mining Corporation Act' in the 21st National Assembly. The Mine Reclamation Corporation has been reluctant to merge with the Korea Resources Corporation, which is in a state of capital erosion.

Hong Gipo, chairman of the Mine Reclamation Corporation Our Labor Union, stated, "The bill to increase the capital of the Mineral Corporation, which was rejected by the National Assembly last year, is a bill that increases capital by imposing a frame that sacrifices the Mine Reclamation Corporation and abandoned mine areas," adding, "Do not deceive the residents of the abandoned mine areas any longer with this paradoxical and self-contradictory legislative attempt."

Kim Taeho, chairman of the Jeongseon Public Relations Committee, said, "The attempt to pass off insolvency revealed by the so-called 'water ghost law' resubmission will be regarded as an act threatening the lives of residents in abandoned mine areas," and added, "We will strongly block this bill, which has come back to life like a zombie, in order to protect the right to survival."
