청 'Appeal Against Ruling on Non-Disclosure of Special Activity Expenses'

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The Blue House reportedly appealed on the 2nd against a court ruling ordering the disclosure of the Blue House's special activity expenses and the protocol costs of Kim Jung-sook, the wife of President Moon Jae-in.

A Blue House official told reporters on the day, "I understand that an appeal was filed with the court today," adding, "It is heard that the decision to appeal was made after comprehensively considering the public's right to know, the purpose of the information disclosure system, and the possibility that disclosure could harm the public interest."

Earlier, the Seoul Administrative Court Administrative Division 5 (Presiding Judge Jung Sang-gyu) ruled partially in favor of the plaintiff on the 10th of last month in a lawsuit filed by Kim Seon-taek, chairman of the Taxpayers Federation, against the Presidential Secretariat Chief, seeking cancellation of the refusal to disclose information.
