Opposition to Yeonggwang SRF Power Plant, Candlelight Cultural Festival Held... "Environmental Rights Must Be Guaranteed"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jeonseong] "The government's flawed waste policy must be corrected."

The Yeonggwang SRF Power Plant Opposition Pan-Citizen Countermeasure Committee recently held an SRF power plant opposition candlelight cultural festival, the committee announced on the 22nd.

The event was held on the 19th with about 100 residents in attendance.

The program began with a performance by the Beopseong Tongguitar club 'Meari,' followed by a silent tribute for the Sewol Ferry victims, and a report on the progress of the opposition struggle since last winter.

In particular, one media outlet was accused of threatening residents with various civil and criminal lawsuits, being obsessed with personal interests.

Monk Mandang stated, "If the citizens are foolish, foolish politicians will cause the region to regress, but if the citizens are awake, the politicians will also awaken," emphasizing that "for proper politics, citizens must first participate and awaken."

A representative of the Pan-Citizen Committee said, "The SRF opposition struggle is an issue of environmental rights and the right to survival, and will ultimately lead to a life movement," adding, "We will correct the government's flawed waste policy in solidarity with organizations nationwide."
