Yoon Seok-yeol ‘Think’ Han Deok-soo ‘Liberal Democracy’ Kim Dae-gi ‘American standards’ exclude citizens, Royal coup d’état
In President Yoon Seok-yeol's 'Think about what is right', Prime Minister Han Deok-soo said, 'I agree with Hong Beom-do's relocation' as a 'liberal democratic order', and Chief of Staff Kim Dae-gi responded to the National Assembly by saying, 'America is fine, there is no reason to oppose a civilized country' in response to a question about contaminated water, and 'the people's judgment'. The elimination of popular sovereignty showed the establishment of a personal guard system.
Regarding the 'bust of General Hong Beom-do,' President Yoon said, "I will not tell you what to do. However, it would be better to raise the issue and think about what is the right thing to do," National Security Chief Cho Tae-yong made public on the 30th at the National Assembly on the 30th.
Presidential Chief of Staff Kim Dae-gi said in response to a question about Japan's contaminated water discharge at the National Assembly on the 30th, "I am against it. But there is no reason to oppose it. All scientists say there is no problem," and added, "They say it is okay for the United States to have contaminated water coming before us, and we, as a civilized country, said there is no problem." “There is no problem (it is difficult to oppose),” he said. “Of course, we do not support it, but on what basis would we oppose it when it is being released without any problem?” and excluded the ‘people’s opposition demand’ from the country and said, ‘It is based on American standards. ' was placed in national identity.
New York State, home to three nuclear power plants built along the Hudson River in the eastern United States, went into effect on the 18th of last month with the Save the Hudson Act, banning the discharge of radioactive liquid waste.
This law, which passed the Senate unanimously with the agreement of conservative Republicans, stopped the plan to use 1.3 million gallons (gal) of river water to cool spent fuel rods from nuclear power plants and discharge them into the Hudson River.
Like Japan, the coolant in New York State, where tritium is an issue, is ‘stored above ground for at least 12 years’ before being discharged into the Hudson River.
AP said that the half-life of tritium is 12-13 years, and after this period, half of it spontaneously decays into helium.
Prime Minister Han said in response to a question from the People Power Party member of the National Assembly, "I understand that the Military Academy is pursuing a plan to reorganize monuments on campus to match the identity of the military academy and cadet education. I think it is reasonable." He added, "What we must consider in this process is the basics of liberal democracy." “We must remain faithful to the spirit of our Constitution, which is order,” he said, formalizing the “elimination of the people’s right to make liberal democratic judgments” by blocking “liberal democratic rights in the bust removal debate” due to “Hong Beom-do’s damage to liberal democracy.”
On the 30th, Lee Kwan-seop, Senior Secretary to the President's Office for Government Affairs, responded to the Japanese government's claim to file a complaint with an international organization regarding the discharge of contaminated water at the National Assembly, saying, "It is a bit strange to file a complaint just because Japan discharges 22 trillion Bq (becquerel) of tritium a year." “It could become a laughingstock,” he answered, denying “people’s sovereignty.”
Japan's contaminated water situation involves absorbing 'internationally shared seawater' into its own purified water, first mixing and diluting it to 'secure a level that passes international standards', and then discharging it back into the sea. China, Russia, and others are opposing the case and are currently filing a lawsuit regarding Japan's violation of international maritime rights.
The IAEA report used ‘dilution water’ as the measurement standard and did not judge the ‘unauthorized abuse of Japan’s private water’ of marine water shared with neighboring countries such as Korea that was used for dilution.
Korea still has the right to exercise international rights regarding the ‘seawater dilution’ used without permission by Seoul Electric Power Company, but the Yoon Seok-yeol regime has given it up.
Korea’s Marine Waste Management Act states in ‘Article 7 Prohibition of Discharging Waste into the Ocean’ that “No one shall discharge waste into the ocean.”
Regarding marine discharge, the ‘Marine Waste and Marine Polluted Sediment Management Act’ for our territorial waters stipulates that “waste that does not affect the conservation and management of the marine environment and is prescribed by Presidential Decree shall be disposed of in the sea in accordance with the disposal standards and methods prescribed by Ordinance of the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries.” It is strictly regulated as ‘discharge to sea areas determined by the Presidential Decree’ only if it is proven that contaminated water waste has ‘no direct impact’ on the marine environment.
Korea’s ‘Ocean Management Act’ makes it illegal to draw seawater and ‘dilute it and measure it to scientific standards’ for pollutants from marine discharge.
Regarding Japan's 'discharge of waste into the sea' that directly affects Korean territorial waters, the Yoon Seok-yeol government has the right to 'require prior verification' and 'guarantee prior approval' under Korea's domestic law under international law through 'IAEA dilution water measurement'. They voluntarily gave up the exercise of sovereignty by limiting it to ‘science’.
President Yoon said at the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on the 29th, "Unification based on liberal democracy is based on the universal values of freedom, human rights, and the rule of law." He also said, "The three countries' joint document called the Principles and Spirit of Camp David also states that unification based on the Republic of Korea's liberal democracy is based on the principles and spirit of Camp David." “It is clearly stated that the United States and Japan support unification,” he said.
Among the joint documents of the Korea-U.S.-Japan trilateral summit, the 'Spirit of Camp David' clearly states, "We express our support for the goal of the Republic of Korea's bold plan and support a free and peaceful unified Korean Peninsula," and President Yoon clearly stated that "liberal democracy It is completely different from the ‘support for unification of the United States and Japan’.
The ‘Camp David Principles’ clearly state, “We support a free and peaceful unified Korean Peninsula.”
This content is completely absent from the ‘Korea-U.S.-Japan consultation pledge,’ the most important of the three Camp David documents signed and jointly released by President Yoon on the 18th at the U.S. Presidential Villa.
At the People Power Party conference on the 28th, President Yoon said, "What is the political orientation of the country and what are the values it should pursue? The most important thing is ideology. It is not an ideology that is outdated, but an ideology that can lead the country properly." He said, “We have wrong ideas about the direction we are flying. We are trying to go forward, but if we say we are going backward, that won’t work.”
The preamble to the Constitution stated, “We will further solidify the basic liberal democratic order based on autonomy and harmony, and ensure equal opportunities for all people in all areas of politics, economy, society, and culture.”
Article 1 of the Constitution states, ‘Sovereignty belongs to the people, and all power comes from the people,’ and Article 4, ‘Establishes and promotes a peaceful unification policy based on the basic liberal democratic order.’
