[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, criticized on the 13th, “The Moon Jae-in administration is a five-year government, not a dynasty,” and asked, “How far do they intend to go to make the president do whatever he wants?”

On the same day, Ahn said on Twitter, “I saw the advertisement of the Democratic Party of Korea’s ‘trick proportional satellite party.’ It’s like asking people to vote for them to protect the president,” adding, “The basic role of the National Assembly is to check the government. They seem to not understand the meaning of checks and balances and the separation of powers.”

He pointed out, “The Democratic Party used the excuse of the number of seats to avoid addressing urgent issues that the public desperately wants to improve, while swiftly passing laws like the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials Act that suit the current administration’s tastes,” and added, “If you include the Justice Party and the Minsaeng Party, which are part of the ruling coalition, they already hold a majority of the seats. It’s not that they couldn’t prevent the suffering of ordinary people and the collapse of livelihoods, but that they ignored it.”

He continued, “The current administration’s power-related corruption allegations are at a serious level,” and said, “People from the Blue House who participated in getting the president’s close aide elected as mayor of Ulsan have been consecutively indicted. When the prosecution investigated the administration’s corruption, the Democratic Party passed the Corruption Investigation Office Act. Democracy is now seriously threatened.”

Ahn sharpened his criticism by saying, “Officials of the administration openly say that the first investigation target of the Corruption Investigation Office will be Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl,” adding, “It means don’t investigate if you don’t want to get hurt. The Corruption Investigation Office is the administration’s private army.”

Ahn said, “If this election does not correct the situation, absurd economic policies like income-led growth will not stop, and the pointless ‘everything leads to North Korea’ narrative will continue,” and added, “If we cover up the crisis, a bigger crisis will soon come. Helping the current administration finish the remaining two years well is not about letting them do whatever they want, but about risking everything to stop what they must not do.”
