, ‘On the 18th, the Democratic Party criticized President Yoon Seokyeol’s plan to abolish research and development (R&D) feasibility study (pre-EIS) as “an attitude of taking all the rice to make rice and giving a pot with a hole as a gift.”‘,
,
, ‘Spokesperson Hwang Jeong-ah said in a written briefing on the day, “They insulted the science and technology industry as a ‘cartel’ that misuses R&D budgets, and now they say they will abolish the pre-EIS, it seems like two conflicting egos\”.’,
,
, ‘Spokesperson Hwang emphasized, “Improving R&D pre-EIS was one of the long-standing issues for the science and technology industry, but it was about the need to improve procedures and methods reflecting the opinions of researchers on the field, not just demanding abolition.”‘,
,
, ‘Hwang further pointed out, “Without institutional improvements, if only the pre-EIS is abolished, there are concerns that instead of listening to the opinions of field researchers, one or two people within the government will budget as they please.”‘,
,
, ‘She urged, “If President Yoon has truly changed his views on R&D, then apologize for his mistakes first and respond to the R&D supplementary budget requested by the science and technology industry.”‘,
