A resolution urging the withdrawal of the plan to discharge contaminated water from Fukushima and the preparation of measures for the safety of aquatic products and the protection of fishermen was passed by the National Assembly led by the opposition party.

In addition, Park Kwang-on, floor leader of the Democratic Party, said, “If we do not deal with it today, there may be a situation where we will see the discharge of contaminated water in Fukushima and dumping in the sea as it is.” ” he confronted.
Previously, on the 27th, the Democratic Party adopted a related resolution at the National Assembly’s agricultural and marine affairs committee, and the people’s power resisted the resolution and exited while not participating in the vote.
