Kim Ki-hyun "Punish the Moon Jae-in Administration for Dismantling the Four Major Rivers Dams and State Power Abuse"

"Reject Unscientific and Ideological Approaches in Water Management Policy"

Kim Gi-hyeon, leader of the People Power Party, on the 21st urged, regarding the Board of Audit and Inspection's report that anti-4 Major Rivers citizen groups were involved in the formation of the '4 Major Rivers Investigation and Evaluation Team' during the Moon Jae-in administration, "We must track down those involved in the Moon Jae-in regime who committed state affairs manipulation and hold them accountable and punish them."

The previous day, the Board of Audit and Inspection disclosed a report stating that during the Moon Jae-in administration, anti-4 Major Rivers citizen groups were involved in the decision-making process to dismantle the dams on the Geumgang and Yeongsangang Rivers, and that Kim Eun-kyung, then Minister of Environment, had instructed this.

Regarding this, Kim posted on Facebook that day under the title "The decision to dismantle dams by the Moon regime is a grotesque group's manipulation of state affairs. A thorough investigation and punishment must be carried out," saying, "They selected, recommended, or excluded private members participating in the evaluation team according to their own preferences, and the biased evaluation team hastily concluded to dismantle the dams based on faulty data in just two months, which has now been exposed."

Kim criticized, "At that time, the Moon Jae-in administration allowed ideology to dominate science in state governance and let superstitious illusions suppress objective truth. The decision to dismantle the 4 Major Rivers dams, excluding science by unscientific means, was a scene of anti-civilizational madness where ideological and agitator groups drove out experts and manipulated national projects."

He added, "Many members of that quack group overlap significantly with those who spread rumors about US beef, the Cheonan ship sinking, THAAD, and Fukushima," and said, "In short, habitual demonstrators disturbed the country."

Kim concluded, "Now, national water management policies will reject unscientific and ideological approaches and be carried out solely based on national interest and science."
