"Call to Stop Yoon Administration's Suppression of Korea Energy University"…Citizen Group Statement
The Gwangju Federation of Economic Justice Practice issued a statement on the 3rd, urging to "stop the oppression against Korea Energy University (KENTECH)."
The Federation condemned, saying, "The oppression against Korea Energy University by the Yoon Seok-yeol government and the People Power Party has gone too far through funding cuts, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy's recommendation to dismiss the president, and reckless disclosures by People Power Party lawmakers during the National Assembly audit," adding, "They are openly revealing their intention to starve Korea Energy University to death."
They also stated, "Korea Energy University was established through a special law enacted by bipartisan agreement in the National Assembly during the Moon Jae-in administration, aiming at national balanced development and securing global competitiveness in the energy sector," while emphasizing, "On the other hand, the Yoon administration is trying to stigmatize Korea Energy University as an institution founded by the Moon administration to give special favors to Honam."
They continued, "During last year's presidential election, President Yoon and the People Power Party pursued a 'westward policy' based on 'national integration,' appealing to the Honam sentiment and achieving the highest vote share among conservative presidential candidates in the Gwangju and Jeonnam regions. However, after taking office, they only verbally promised not to discriminate against Honam, while in reality, they are blatantly discriminating against Honam through a strategy to starve Korea Energy University."
