[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party requested the prosecution to do their best to uncover the truth as a search and seizure of related agencies was conducted on the 5th regarding the early shutdown of Wolseong Unit 1.

Kim Ye-ryeong, spokesperson for the People Power Party, said in a statement on the 6th, "We hope the prosecution will unwaveringly clarify the illegality of the early shutdown of Wolseong Unit 1, the abuse of authority, fabrication, and concealment by related parties, and somehow recover the files deleted by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy to clearly reveal the whole story of the nuclear phase-out fiasco."

He criticized, "A few days ago, the Chief Secretary of the Blue House called the Board of Audit and Inspection's audit 'nonsense,' and yesterday the Democratic Party of Korea made an unreasonable claim that the search and seizure was a 'commissioned investigation by the opposition party.' Today, even Lee Nak-yeon, leader of the Democratic Party, reportedly expressed outrage, calling the prosecution's search and seizure related to Wolseong Unit 1 an 'abuse of prosecutorial power and political prosecution behavior.'

He continued, "Minister Chu Mi-ae also said, 'This is not a power-type corruption but a problem in the government's policy decision process,' and made a petty sophistry that 'the politician prosecutor general is conducting an excessive investigation to attack and shake the government,' adding, 'Before the investigation even began in earnest, she effectively issued an order not to investigate.'"

Spokesperson Kim pointed out, "This situation, where a nuclear power plant that was repaired with 700 billion won to meet the president's pledge now has to be dismantled at a cost of 750 billion won, and where the Blue House and government ministries together distorted and manipulated state affairs, is truly 'nonsense.'"
