[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 15th, Lee Jong-bae, Policy Committee Chairman of the People Power Party, criticized the Democratic Party of Korea for raising concerns about the detection of the radioactive substance tritium in the groundwater of the Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant, saying, “The Democratic Party is inciting nuclear power plant fear based on unclear evidence and incorrect standards,” and added, “If they are inciting fear of nuclear power plants despite knowing the truth, it is both misleading the public and political manipulation.”

At the party strategy meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Chairman Lee said, “It is suspicious whether the recent audit initiated by the Board of Audit and Inspection on the nuclear phase-out policy is intended to nullify the audit,” and added, “I believe this is part of a desperate struggle to block the prosecution’s investigation into the Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant manipulation.”

Chairman Lee stated, “Our party is ready to accept all measures for fact-finding,” and said, “For the sake of substantive truth, we will actively participate not only in the public-private joint investigation committee requested by the Democratic Party but also in fact-finding through a national audit.”

Regarding the court’s recognition of the late Park Won-soon, former Mayor of Seoul’s sexual harassment charges, Chairman Lee said, “The substantive truth of the sexual harassment case of former Mayor Park, which the Democratic Party tried hard to conceal, has been revealed after five months,” and added, “No excuses will be accepted anymore. The Democratic Party should now declare no candidacy for the Seoul mayor and sincerely apologize to the victim.”

Chairman Lee also said, “Nam In-soon, a senior member of the Democratic Party who has been called a leader of the women’s movement, shamelessly committed secondary harm by belittling the victim as a complainant,” and added, “I hope Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon immediately files a complaint against Senior Member Nam to the Ethics Committee to fulfill the responsibility as a public party.”
