Daegu Mayor Hong Jun-pyo was bitter about the so-called ‘bold plan’ announced by the Ministry of Unification on the 22nd.

▶ On the same day, Minister of Unification Kwon Young-se reported to President Yun Seok-yeol, which included a step-by-step plan to provide economic cooperation and security measures in conjunction with North Korea’s denuclearization measures, which specifically unraveled the ‘bold plan’ that President Yun Seok-yeol announced in his inaugural address. reportedly contained.

Minister Kwon Young-se said at a briefing after the business report, “We have reported a plan to comprehensively include economic, security, and comprehensive mutual-level measures, including security concerns and requirements raised by North Korea, in a bold plan.”

In other words, North Korea is considering a plan to the extent that it will no longer feel the need to develop nuclear weapons by resolving its security concerns and overcoming economic difficulties.

In addition, it is reported that the bold plan is also considering a plan to comprehensively include political and military issues such as the normalization of US-DPRK relations, military confidence-building, and arms control.

▶ As if pointing to this, Mayor Hong Jun-pyo posted on his Facebook page at around 10:26 pm on the same day, saying, “The reason (North Korea) developed the North Korean nuclear program is to maintain the dictatorship for generations. And do you think it will dismantle North Korea’s nuclear program?” he asked.

Then he asked again, “What is different from the disguised peace policy of the Moon administration (Moon Jae-in government)?”

Then there were cases from overseas. Ukraine was invaded by Russia. Mayor Hong Jun-pyo said, “In return for Ukraine’s abandonment of its nuclear program, the United States, Britain, and Russia (the United States, Britain, and Russia) promised security guarantees, and the United States (1991) even provided economic aid through the Nunn-Lugar Act. How are you doing now?”

Mayor Hong Jun-pyo then said, “Do you think North Korea will give up its nuclear weapons even after seeing the Libya and Ukraine incidents?”

In addition, in July 2020, he represented the amendment to the Armed Forces Organization Act, which states for the first time in the law the purpose of the ‘nuclear balance policy’ to ‘realize denuclearization and deterrence of nuclear threats through a nuclear balance between North and South Korea’, that is, to allow Korea to possess nuclear weapons. also proposed.

Prior to that, in 2019, in a joint broadcast on Hongka-Cola YouTube and Allileo YouTube, chairman of the Roh Moo-hyung Foundation Chairman Yoo Si-min and Hongka-Cola said, “As long as North Korea does not give up its nuclear weapons, it is right to go to nuclear disarmament after achieving a nuclear balance.” A little earlier, when he ran for the Liberty Korea Party in the 2017 presidential election, he had expressed his intention to possess tactical nuclear weapons.

In a Facebook post that followed, Mayor Hong Jun-pyo emphasized, “Romantic nationalism is nothing more than a disguised peace slogan from the left.”
