더불어민주당 대전시당(이하 대전시당)이 20일 윤석열 정부의 무분별한 국가과학기술 연구개발(이하 R&D) 예산을 원상회복하기 위해 특별위원회를 출범시키고 본격 활동에 나섰다.

대전시당 국가과학기술 R&D예산 원상회복특별위원회(이하 R&D특위)는 20일 오후 연구단지종합운동장 인근 천막농성장에서 출범식을 갖고 천막농성에 돌입했다.

황운하 시당위원장은 “석과불식(碩果不食)이란 말이 있다. 아무리 힘들어도 미래를 위해 종자는 먹지 말고 남겨두어야 한다는 의미이다”라며 “지금까지 대한민국은 사람과, 과학, 연구개발에 투자해왔지만 윤 대통령이 어떤 망상에 씌어 사람과 과학, 연구개발을 망가뜨리는지 모르겠다. 우리는 지금 윤석열 대통령의 망상으로부터 대한민국의 미래를 구해야 한다”는 말로 R&D특위 역할을 강조했다.

R&D특위 출범성명서를 통해 “세계 최고의 과학도시를 향한 대전의 꿈이 무능한 정권 때문에 멈출 수 없다”며 “R&D 예산 원상회복은 대전지역경제와 나아가 우리나라의 성장과 미래를 위한 일”이라고 밝혔다.

특위는 천막농성과 더불어 서명운동, R&D예산 원상을 촉구하며 과학기술정보통신부를 항의방문하고 오는 30일부터 1주일간 국회 인근에서 천막농성을 벌일 계획이다.

On the 20th, the Democratic Party of Korea's Daejeon City Party (hereinafter referred to as Daejeon City Party) launched a special committee and began full-scale activities to restore the reckless national science and technology research and development (R&D) budget of the Yoon Seok-yeol government.

City Party Chairman Hwang Un-ha said, “There is a saying, ‘Eating only with stone and not eating.’ “It means that no matter how difficult it is, we must save the seeds for the future and not eat them,” he said. “So far, the Republic of Korea has invested in people, science, and research and development, but I don’t know what kind of delusion President Yoon is under to ruin people, science, and research and development.” . He emphasized the role of the R&D Special Committee by saying, “We must now save the future of the Republic of Korea from President Yoon Seok-yeol’s delusions.”

In addition to the tent sit-in, the special committee plans to conduct a signature campaign, visit the Ministry of Science and ICT to protest, urging the restoration of the R&D budget, and hold a tent sit-in near the National Assembly for a week starting on the 30th.
