[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, pressured President Moon Jae-in on the 12th, saying, “Immediately disclose to what extent the Blue House intervened in the closure issue of Wolseong Unit 1 and the Board of Audit and Inspection’s audit, and who specifically gave what instructions,” and added, “Thoroughly reveal the truth through an internal investigation, even before the prosecution’s investigation, about who was involved in obstructing the audit, concealing the truth, and destroying evidence.”

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Ahn said, “Above all, the president himself must first clarify his position on whether he is related to obstructing the audit and concealing the truth.”

Ahn pointed out, “The president’s remark that he decided on nuclear phase-out after watching a movie was a comedy. The government did not decide and take responsibility for the suspension of nuclear power operation but asked the general public, who are non-experts, to decide, which was a model of irresponsible governance that completely forgot the basics of policy decision-making. On top of that, the relevant minister is suspected of being the mastermind behind the manipulation of nuclear power economics, and the public officials who were threatened with ‘Do you want to die?’ committed an unprecedented crime by deleting 444 official documents.”

Ahn said, “The nuclear phase-out, which started from romantic sentimentalism, ultimately led to the destruction of the national governance system, public service discipline, and even the trampling of the rule of law,” adding, “Despite clear circumstances of illegality and lawbreaking, the ruling party, which is obstructing the prosecution’s investigation by calling it a ‘prosecution coup,’ what kind of political party is this? What are they afraid of, who are they trying to protect, and what unspeakable reasons do they have to insult the head of the Board of Audit and Inspection and have the party leader interfere with the prosecution’s investigation?”

Ahn stated, “Now, the public’s attention inevitably turns to the Blue House, the only place with the power to force public officials to commit illegal acts and to threaten them, and the search and seizure of the Blue House line at that time will be only the beginning.”

Ahn said, “Even if the Democratic Party keeps shouting for prosecution reform, it does not hide the regime’s flaws or cover up corruption and wrongdoing. I hope the prosecution quietly observes the investigation results so that it can fulfill its original role as a sharp sword that pierces the heart of corrupt forces, not as a shield protecting the regime’s flaws,” and asked, “Why, while talking about reform, do you show the same behavior as an authoritarian regime?”
