Ahn Cheol-soo: "If North Korea Received the 'X File' Directly Related to South Korea's Security, It Would Be 'Ineffective Security'"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, stated on the 25th, "Recently, an X-file with unclear grounds has become a hot topic in the political sphere," and criticized, "If a civic group supported by the people's tax money handed over the real 'X-file' directly related to South Korea's security to North Korea, it would be a complete security failure and a failed government."

On the occasion of the 71st anniversary of the June 25th War, Ahn posted on his Facebook that "a suspect arrested on charges of violating the National Security Act belonged to a civic group that had received funding from the Ministry of Unification under the Moon Jae-in administration until recently," and pointed out, "Yet the government has neither provided a proper explanation nor apologized."

According to Ahn, recently, an executive of a civic group was arrested on charges of sending domestic information to North Korea under the orders of a North Korean agent. The suspect, detained for violating the National Security Act, is also accused of producing pro-traitorous materials that endorse Juche ideology or North Korean nuclear weapons. The civic group to which the suspect belonged was also receiving funding from the Ministry of Unification.

Ahn emphasized, "The government must officially apologize for supporting a pro-traitorous organization, explain the circumstances of the support, and present measures to prevent recurrence," adding, "There can be no distinction between ruling and opposition parties, or between progressives and conservatives, when it comes to national security."
