Like a thief feeling guilty"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min of the People Power Party criticized on the 30th the 'Plan to Promote Nuclear Power Plant Construction in North Korea (Bukwonchu)' file, saying, "It is a common-sense assumption that this document contains a plan by our government to promote the construction of nuclear power plants in North Korea," and added, "Grabbing at the opposition party's criticism and responding brazenly is like a thief feeling guilty."


On the same day, Yoo posted on his Facebook, "In the South, they manipulate the economic feasibility of Wolseong Unit 1 to phase out nuclear power, but they want to build nuclear power plants in the North? The South, which has no tactical nuclear weapons, is going to build nuclear power plants for the North, which possesses nuclear weapons?" He questioned, adding, "The minister threatens by saying 'Do you want to die?' So, are you saying that some audacious official in the Ministry of Industry wrote a document about building nuclear power plants in North Korea without any instructions from the president or the minister?"


He also said, "If it were that legitimate, why was the file hastily deleted late at night?" and added, "The Blue House should not intimidate the opposition party by calling it fake news or threatening legal action, but rather clarify what exactly was in the 'Ppoyoiseu Bukwonchu' file, what was on the USB given by President Moon to Kim Jong-un during the Dobodari talks, and what instructions the president gave immediately after the summit, revealing the facts as they are."



Furthermore, he stated that the prosecution should thoroughly uncover all the truth about the contents of the file through digital forensic work.
