South Korea’s opposition leader, Lee Jae-myung, attended a press conference a year after his inauguration, where he revealed his intention to go on a hunger strike in protest of Japan’s release of treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant.
Lee, who recently called Japan’s release of contaminated water “a declaration of war,” announced that he would begin his ‘indefinite fast’ starting August 31st as a “last resort to prevent the destruction of democracy.” On the other hand, the current leader of the ruling party, Kim Gi-hyeon, criticized the move, saying, “I don’t know why the government is suddenly fasting ahead of the National Assembly opening. As the leader of a huge opposition party, this is nothing but an abandonment of duty.”
While Lee Jae-myung hasn’t said how long his hunger strike would last, it’s considered a rare but strong gesture for a South Korean politician and leader of a major party to make such a gesture. Lee has been protesting the Fukushima power plant issue and calling out the Korean government for acting as an accomplice by “backing up Japan” rather than opposing it.
South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol also shot back at critics of the release of treated water, calling them “people who claim that one plus one equals one hundred.”
A Korean politician threatening with not eating… isn’t that an incentive to pour more water?
Yes, please. The less koreans, the better.
Less South Koreans. Best Korea is a cool place.
wait what? but what will the capitalistic people do than? Imagen, each time someone needs to “prove” capitalism is “good” they show North vs South (of course, not mentioning how harsh the society is, that is the most dificult with you know, thoes symbols, whatever they are (<- sarcasm because there are thousens, oh and everything I write here is sarcams), how shitty the life of many are. And you just, just pretty much anything that will show how capitalism only works (in real life) if slaves exist. I mean, can you imagen if we ban any form of debts? how can the rich, who don't work, afford to have money to buy from the people who do human trafic (because for whatever reason no one ever wonders who is buying traffiected people), enslave and keep people busy for decats while they work and work to pay back INTEREST ONLY for the house, study, healcare, aka FREE MONEY FOR PARASITES, how can they afford to do anything can to ensure most people aren't aware that there are more slaves in africa then ever (seriosly, just search slaves in africa 2020, 2021 and 2022), that all the climate change could have been avoided, that most of the plastic waste is from USA and Europe however, since they "recycle it" to Maylasia, officially the 2 continents are good and Asia is bad, oh an just so much more!!!). Ah, just look at beutiful china, the best exemple that you can be one of the top economy power, as in the "ownerclass" are rich, all that thanks for people who have no chose other than being slaves or at the mercy of others.
Anyways, what were you saying? Ah yes, the fact that how you wrote your coment, everyone will asume you are just racist. Write in details who. As an exemple, without shareholder, no more bug fast games, no more protests losing (a ceo will never stop destroying nature or other such, because it will upset the shareholder who only look at money, because whatever happens, it dosen't affect them since all they need to do is sell thir stock, cashing in money, all hail free market). and other crap. People like Hitler, Stalin, and more where in power because people never saw the death they cause. Everyone just saw the "great" wisdom they talked about (similar to MAGA fanatics), but if you actually check what they really did, that things change. But that is dificult since at every step, media trys to ensure you are distracted. I mean, how comes no one remeber that if you searched on google stupid, mr orange man should show up. Strange how only year later people realised why that happend…
>muh clubmate change
>likening Hitler to st*lin
>not naming them
Lost me there bud.
I applaud the Koreans for being so proactive about this. To achieve the most effect they should do a suicide-strike instead.
Korea politician are just a bunch of shameless corrupt liars. If he really going for a hunger strike, I would like to see his hourly glucose test just to make sure he really ain’t eating anything behind the scene. LOL
Scare tactic. The entire way it’s being done is fine, only dipshits are thinking that Japan is just dumping neon green goo directly into the ocean or something like some cartoon super villains. Ridiculous.
The problem is that Japanese are also people, and thus prone to mistakes, miscalculation and corruption. They may overestimate the quality of their wanter treatment methods. Or simply lie about the water quality examination results and hide the truth for their own benefit.
They could just reuse that water in other powerplants, but instead they are dumping it only to draw fresh water from the ocean. What the f♥♥k? I would oppose this s♥♥t move as well.
And then there’s China who dumps a lot more s♥♥t in the ocean than Japan but for some reason, no one says anything… Weird huh?
In the water? You already look in their air/sky ?? Sometimes is so polluted that you can’t see trow and can’t breath without a fucking mask. And now Japan are the bad guys? Not that what they are doing is right, but who is not fucking with the world anyway?
The radioactivity of what they released has been measured by other people and it already wasn’t harmful, the fact that’s being spread out now across such a large body of water only makes it even less harmful.
Seems Korea is going all in on the “JAPAN IS BAD GUYS” shtick after sending one of their whores to lie about Japan being the only place she’s gotten molested.
Well, at least a few less dogs will get eaten. Hopefully this guy starves himself to death.
