Assemblyman So Byeong-cheol Calls Mention of Suncheon Wind Power Opposition Rally 'Absurd'

Countermeasure Committee Claims "There Was an Instruction to Review by Assemblyman Sobyeongcheol"
Assemblyman Sobyeongcheol Asserts "There Is No Conspiracy or Intervention"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] The Anti-Wind Power Plant Construction Countermeasure Committee in the Suncheon area (hereinafter referred to as the Countermeasure Committee) mentioned Representative So Byung-chul (Chairman of the Democratic Party Suncheon Regional Committee) through a resolution and placard protest at a rally held on the 2nd at Suncheonman National Garden.

The Countermeasure Committee claimed that since Representative So Byung-chul was elected, a revision bill is being promoted mainly by Democratic Party Suncheon city council members to reduce the wind power development distance from 2km to 800m and to grant permission if local residents agree.

They also publicly questioned Representative So Byung-chul about the truth of the matter, stating, "There was an instruction from Representative So Byung-chul, and some council members who are not free from nomination issues are moving, which is spreading as local social opinion."

Meanwhile, they asked the council members attempting to worsen the Suncheon City Council ordinance, "Are you working for the residents, or are you trying to represent the wind power operators? How can you so easily abandon the meaning of last year's ordinance revision?"

The rally was attended by groups and citizens opposing the wind power plant prior to the Suncheon City Council’s ‘Green New Deal Renewable Energy Policy Meeting’ held on the 2nd floor of the Suncheonman International Wetland Center.

At the meeting, Suncheon City Council member Jeong Hong-jun (Secretary General of the Democratic Party Suncheon Regional Committee) stated, "Representative So Byung-chul clarifies that there is no conspiracy or involvement as indicated in the resolution regarding wind power development."
