[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] On the 26th, Joo Ho-young, the floor leader of the People Power Party, delivered '10 questions' including reconsideration of the nuclear phase-out policy and special investigations into Lime and Optimus to the Blue House, requesting a response from President Moon Jae-in.

On the same day, Joo delivered these questions to Choi Jae-sung, the Blue House Senior Secretary for Political Affairs, who visited the National Assembly in the morning. Through Facebook, he stated, "I made '10 public inquiries' last July, but after 100 days, there has been no concrete response," and added, "I ask for serious consideration of the questions presented again today and for the answers to be directly revealed to the people."

The inquiries consist of a total of 10 questions: ▲ A sincere explanation and apology from the president regarding the early shutdown process of Wolseong Unit 1 ▲ Reconsideration of the nuclear phase-out policy, which was a wrong first step ▲ Commitment to uphold the promise to keep power institutions independent from politics, despite the prosecution having been reduced to the Ministry of Justice's investigation bureau due to Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae's excessive exercise of command authority ▲ Questioning the reason for hastening the launch of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials after rendering the Prosecutor General incapacitated.

Additionally, the questions include ▲ Whether a special investigation into Lime and Optimus will be initiated ▲ The president's explanation regarding the failure of real estate policies that even made the Deputy Prime Minister a tenant refugee ▲ Measures to maintain the red line against North Korea ▲ Direct apology to North Korea and demand for accountability regarding the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries official shooting incident ▲ Responsibility for overcoming national division ▲ Position on correcting the deepening of parachute appointments.

Notably, the inquiries do not include issues from the July questions previously requested by Floor Leader Joo, such as measures on power-related sexual crime cases, ruling party's demand for no candidacy in by-elections, forced committee assignments, and the Yoon Mi-hyang incident.

Floor Leader Joo emphasized, "This is not intended to put the president and the Blue House in a difficult position. I hope that such questions and answers will lead to expanded communication between the president and the opposition party, and between the president and the people," and reiterated his request for a response, saying, "I hope the president breaks out of the rigid framework and shows direct communication with the people."
