Yong-seop Lee "Strongly Condemns Decision to Discharge Fukushima Nuclear Plant Contaminated Water"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Lee Yong-seop, Mayor of Gwangju Metropolitan City, stated on the 18th, "Japan's nationalism goes beyond common sense and morality, threatening even the lives of humanity," and added, "We feel unbearable anger at Japan's irresponsible and unilateral decision that threatens the lives and safety of all of us and destroys the marine ecosystem."

Mayor Lee expressed this in a statement regarding the decision to discharge contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant, emphasizing, "The discharge of radioactive contaminated water from Fukushima is not only a problem for local governments adjacent to the sea but a great crime against humanity and nature."

He said, "Recently, the Japanese government decided to discharge radioactive contaminated water generated from the 2011 Fukushima nuclear accident into the sea," and added, "Despite opposition from our government and neighboring countries such as China, Japan shows no sign of backing down."

He continued, "Japan has continuously distorted Korea-Japan history with a mistaken historical consciousness," and added, "Not satisfied with this, they are now trying to destroy our lives entirely."

The mayor stated, "This cannot be tolerated for any reason. Our city will strongly condemn Japan's injustice through solidarity with the central government, local governments nationwide, and the political sphere," and added, "We will unite with the international community to ensure Japan no longer harms global peace and safety, and deliver a clear and strong message to Japan."
