Jang Dong-hyuk, leader of the People Power Party, criticized the government's comprehensive survey of agricultural land on October 8, urging its immediate suspension. He accused President Lee Jae-myung of turning cabinet meetings into promotions for solar power businesses.
During a Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly, Jang raised suspicions that the comprehensive survey of agricultural land is essentially aimed at facilitating solar power projects.
President Lee had mentioned in a cabinet meeting the previous day that "farming solar energy yields several times more income than traditional farming," suggesting that unused agricultural land could generate significantly higher profits.
In response, Jang stated, "The reality of the comprehensive survey of agricultural land is a leftist Chinese solar cartel," adding that President Lee, who previously insisted on the principle of land ownership, is now advocating for the conversion of agricultural land for solar installations.
He also pointed out that 70% of domestic solar modules and 96% of solar cells are sourced from China, claiming that the family of Jeong Dong-young, the Minister of Unification, controls multiple solar companies, which he described as a means for the left to profit.
Jang raised security concerns regarding the drones and analysis programs used in the agricultural land survey, stating that 91% of the drones are Chinese-made and the analysis software is Russian. He warned that sensitive information about the nation's territory and security could be leaking to China and Russia at this very moment.
He concluded by stating, "The suspicions surrounding the purpose of the comprehensive survey of agricultural land are only growing," and reiterated the call for an immediate halt to the survey.
Meanwhile, Jung Jeom-sik, the floor leader, reiterated his demand for Kim Hyun-ji, the head of the Presidential Office's first secretariat, and Jeong Jin-sang, the former head of the Democratic Party's policy coordination office, to attend the National Assembly audit.
Jung emphasized, "Looking back at the instances where personnel intervention in the Gyeonggi-Seongnam line has been mentioned, it encompasses a wide range of positions, including vice-ministerial level officials, heads of government agencies, public corporation chairpersons, public institution executives, and private association leaders. They must come to the National Assembly to provide a clear explanation."
