Ha Tae-kyung: "Moon a Spy? Such Remarks Only Harm Conservatism"

Criticism of Park Inhwan, Chairman of the Police System Development Committee, on Facebook
"We Must Learn the Lesson from the Boy Who Cried Wolf Fable"

Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, criticized Park In-hwan, chairman of the Police System Development Committee, for comparing former President Moon Jae-in to a spy, calling it a statement that harms conservatism.

On the 28th, Ha posted on social media (SNS), "Park In-hwan, chairman of the Police System Development Committee, should retract and apologize for his statement calling former President Moon Jae-in a spy. There may be some conservatives who support Chairman Park's remarks. However, such statements without clear evidence only harm conservatism," he criticized.

Ha questioned, "How is this different from the boy who cried wolf in Aesop's fable?"

He pointed out, "It is possible to criticize former President Moon Jae-in for being pro-North Korea and for this having a negative impact on our national security. But claiming that a former president is a North Korean spy is a completely different matter."

Ha said, "There must be specific and clear evidence. However, the basis for Chairman Park's claim is utterly insufficient. From the public's perspective, anyone with a pro-North leftist tendency becomes a spy."

He warned, "If anyone is labeled a spy like this, when a real spy appears, the public will become indifferent or disbelieving. It causes our people to develop spy insensitivity."

Ha added, "Like the fable of the boy who cried wolf, the damage will be suffered by our nation and people. The statement 'making anyone with pro-North leftist tendencies a spy' only harms conservatism," and emphasized, "Especially, Chairman Park is a public official performing official duties of the Police System Development Committee. He must take responsibility for his remarks."
