Controversy is spreading as it is confirmed that the documents related to the assembly application of the NGOs against the post-nuclearization were in the files of the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy. This is due to the fact that the prosecution confirmed that the’Gwanghwamun event application’ of the civil action of the nuclear power plant export (to the country) was included in the file deleted by officials of the Ministry of Industry, who were involved in the suspicion of early closure of the Wolseong nuclear power plant. As documents related to the assembly stating that the trip to the country was reported to the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the police were found in the files of the Ministry of Industry, suspicion of inspectors has also been raised in politics.

– Regarding this suspicion, Wonguk-haeng said on the 31st, “I do not know why the application submitted to Seoul City and the police came from the Ministry of Industry data.” The Seoul Metropolitan Government and the police are in the position that “it is difficult to determine which agency the data is reported to by just the file name.” However, officials of the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the police are drawing a line on the suspicion of the outflow of applications with the intention that “there is no reason that our documents were delivered to the Ministry of Industry.”
According to the prosecution and the Ministry of Industry, the document titled “Gwanghwamun Event Application Form” was included in 530 files deleted by officials of the Ministry of Industry on December 1, 2019. The file appears to be a document in which Wonkuk-bound requested a rally related to the’Nuclear Power Export National Integration Conference’ hosted at Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul on April 21, 2018. After the event, the city marched from Gwanghwamun Square to the Blue House.
According to Wonkuk, they submitted a’application for use of Gwanghwamun Square’ to Seoul City Hall about a month before the event and a’Report of Assembly’ to the Seoul Jongno Police Station. Han-gyu Joo, a professor at Seoul National University’s Atomic Nuclear Engineering Department, who is the deputy head of the country to Won, said in a call with the JoongAng Ilbo, “Isn’t this (Ministry of Industry) received in order to confirm in advance that our organization, which opposes the abandonment of nuclear power plants and emphasizes export policies, will act in trouble. For this, public institutions have cooperated with each other, and it is strange whether this is within the scope of normal business owner cooperation.”
An official from the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, who is in charge of reporting the assembly in Seoul, said, “The report of the assembly has a separate name,’Report of the assembly,’” and “It is handwritten by the relevant police station and has been compiled, but it is not made and kept on file.” said. This official added, “We are aware that the documents that were managed inside us have not been out.”

– The city of Seoul receives the’Gwanghwamun Square Use Permit Application’ by e-mail and gives the permission to use Gwanghwamun. An official from the Seoul Metropolitan Government said, “Since the contents of the file are unknown, it is impossible to confirm whether it is related to the Seoul city document.” “It is unlikely that the Ministry of Industry has directly requested (application) from the relevant department (Seoul Regeneration Policy Division).” If you search for the word “use of Gwanghwamun Plaza facilities” on the website of the Seoul City’s Information Communication Plaza, you will find the official text of the city where the party heading for the country has received permission to use Gwanghwamun Plaza.
In the deleted list of files from the Ministry of Industry, there was also a report on the’trend’ that was written before and after the launch to the country in March of the same year. This is a topic of suspicion that all-round inspections have been carried out against groups against the post-nuclear war. A document identifying the union’s trend against the post-nuclear power policy was also included in the deleted file. Among the deleted files, there are also contents related to personal information such as’Resume of Vice President Han Soo-won (Kim OO)’. The file titled’Union Trends Related to the New President Han Su-won’ is a document written on March 9, 2018, one month before the appointment of the president. At that time, the union strongly opposed the government’s policy of leaving nuclear power plants, fearing the impact on the nuclear power industry, including disruptions in nuclear power exports.
Shin Hee-dong, a spokesman for the Ministry of Industry, said at the briefing on the 31st, “I know it is not an inspection, but as a general trend report.” It is not an intervention by the Ministry of Industry and is expected to be revealed through investigation and trial.”
