Kim Geun-sik: "Kim Doo-kwan Attacking Yoon Seok-yeol Is a Misstep Aiming to Become PK Leader"

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Professor Kim Geun-sik of Gyeongnam National University, chairman of the Future United Party's Songpa-byeong district committee in Seoul, criticized Democratic Party lawmaker Kim Du-kwan's claim that a dismissal motion against Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is necessary, calling it a "misstep aiming to become the PK (Busan, Ulsan, Gyeongnam) leader."

On the 6th, Professor Kim said on Facebook, "It is perfectly normal to mention general principles about the rule of law and the values of liberal democracy that the head of the prosecution must uphold against dictatorship."

Earlier, lawmaker Kim argued on Facebook that Yoon's remark about "dictatorship disguised as democracy" was an attack on the president, calling him a dictator and totalitarian, and insisted that the Democratic Party should submit a dismissal motion.

Professor Kim pointed out, "Even though he did not specifically say 'Moon Jae-in dictatorship,' those who got upset and talked about national disgrace must have their own sore spots and guilty consciences," adding, "Lawmaker Kim said, 'We must not tolerate the Prosecutor General criticizing the head of state as a dictator,' but is it acceptable to overlook the collusion among the Minister of Justice, the Central District Prosecutor, the media, and ruling party figures to bring down the Prosecutor General?"

He criticized, "Legally, a dismissal recommendation against the Prosecutor General is impossible, and dismantling the prosecution organization is also practically impossible," and added, "Lawmaker Kim blindly defends the already settled 'media-prosecution collusion' frame, condemns the dictatorship remark?which was not directly addressed to the president?as national disgrace, insists on an impossible dismissal motion, and makes absurd claims about dismantling the prosecution."

He continued, "It seems he is trying to pledge loyalty to Moon supporters again to challenge for the PK leadership after the 2012 presidential primary, but Moon supporters (a derogatory term for supporters of President Moon Jae-in) permanently brand non-Moon supporters once they fall out of favor," and warned, "From Incheon International Airport Corporation to Prosecutor General Yoon, he is leading the Moon supporters on every political issue, but he will only be used by them."
