With the visit of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Secretary General Rafael Grossi to Korea, the battle between the ruling and opposition parties over the discharge of contaminated water from the Fukushima nuclear power plant in Japan is intensifying. The ruling and opposition parties continued a fierce war of words over the release of contaminated water from the nuclear power plant on the 8th, the weekend.

On this day, National Power Representative Kim Ki-hyun said on his social network service (SNS) that the opposition party did not accept the results of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) investigation, saying, “We will deny the results of the scientific investigation as a ghost story.” It is no different from arguing for an inquisition.”

Representative Kim said, “400 years ago, people with vested interests who disregarded science and promoted ghost stories suppressed Galileo and put him on trial in the Inquisition.” It is unbelievable that there is a political party that believes in a pseudo-religion, ignoring the lessons of the 19th century, and insisting on unscientific ghost stories that can only be seen in museums.”

“As seen in the cases of mad cow disease, the THAAD electromagnetic wave, the Cheonan ship’s suicide bombing, and the accidental sinking of the Sewol ferry, the Fukushima ghost story will eventually end with science winning,” he said.

In a commentary, Spokesman Yoon Hee-seok mentioned the protests against IAEA Secretary General Grossi’s visit to Korea and said, “Following the hateful comments by the daughters to the protests against entry into the airport, this international disgrace is a disaster caused by the Democratic Party’s incitement of false rumors.” Are you trying to lower the national prestige?”

Democratic Party “Explain what benefits Korea gains from the release of contaminated water in Fukushima”

The opposition party pointed out that the South Korean government had never explained the benefits of favoring the release of contaminated water, asking you to explain how the release of contaminated water from Fukushima helps the national interest.

Kang Seon-woo, spokesperson of the Democratic Party of Korea, said in a briefing that day, “The Yoon Seok-yeol administration has never explained what the nuclear wastewater release will help the Republic of Korea’s national interest.” also explain Was there even a fortune teller that the regime would be maintained only when it received the ‘energy of nuclear wastewater’?”

Spokesman Kang said, “(The government) is busy promoting the safety of nuclear wastewater with only the Japanese government’s claims and data.” I even confirmed it.” Spokesman Kang then asked, “Is the Yoon Seok-yeol government a service agency for the Japanese government?”

Secretary-General Grossi said in a media interview, ‘You can drink contaminated water. You can swim in it,’ spokesperson Kang criticized, saying, “It makes it impossible not to doubt the fairness and neutrality of the IAEA.”

Spokesman Kang said, “I heard that the IAEA does not support or recommend Japan’s discharge plan, but suddenly they say that they are drinking contaminated water and swimming in it?” It is not the drinking of contaminated water and swimming in contaminated water by Secretary General Grossi,” he pointed out.
