[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Na Kyung-won, a former lawmaker and a preliminary candidate for the Seoul mayoral by-election from the People Power Party, demanded on the 1st that the contents of the USB, reportedly delivered to North Korea regarding the construction of a nuclear power plant, be disclosed.


Na appeared on YTN Radio's "Hwang Bo-seon's Start of a New Morning" and said, "There is nothing to hide," adding, "The fact that this is being systematically concealed itself makes us strongly suspicious."


He said, "They say it was reviewed since the Park Geun-hye administration, so why was it deleted so urgently?" and added, "The government and the Blue House briefing mentioned that the USB was given after the Panmunjom Declaration, so why not disclose all the contents?"


Regarding Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party's preliminary candidate's pledge to supply 300,000 public housing units, he pointed out that "it is unrealistic." Na said, "To build 300,000 units, land 17 times the size of Yeouido is needed," and questioned, "There is doubt about where all this land will be secured." He also explained, "Wirye New Town has 42,000 households, and it took almost 10 years to build just one Wirye New Town," adding, "Supplying 300,000 public housing units within five years is unrealistic."



On the issue of opposition party unification, Na responded, "In any case, creating a unification process is our task."
