[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The United Future Party criticized Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae's responses during the government questioning session, saying they were "filled with arrogance and personal emotional expressions."


Yoon Hee-seok, deputy spokesperson of the United Future Party, stated in a commentary on the 23rd, "Beyond arrogance and arbitrary actions, she is now even tyrannizing the representatives of the people."


He explained, "Issues that upset the public surround her, including her son's military leave, allegations of ghostwriting the Ministry of Justice's statement, and inappropriate abuse of power during a mountain temple visit. The public finds this itself uncomfortable, and opposition lawmakers only asked her about these matters."


He continued, "However, Minister Choo dismissed questions about her son as 'excessive inquiries' and astonishingly shifted the ghostwriting allegations to a gender issue. Then she said, 'So what?' That is precisely why it is a problem," he added.


Deputy spokesperson Yoon pointed out, "With the minister stumbling daily, the Ministry of Justice's work cannot proceed properly. Wasn't it the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office that learned about the planned complaint against former Mayor Park Won-soon just a day before? The victim's interview was also canceled, and it is very regrettable that the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office, which only listens to the minister, could only handle the matter this way."



He criticized, "This is not the position for a Minister of Justice to leisurely interfere even in real estate issues. The fact that she, merely a 'minister,' responded to government questioning from the people's representatives with arrogance and personal emotional expressions is nothing but contempt for the people."
