[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, stated on the 10th that “The novel that Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae mentioned is becoming reality,” and added, “The burden of proof for the novel lies with Minister Choo.”


At the emergency committee meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Floor Leader Joo said, “Minister Choo has denied any involvement in her son’s sick leave so far,” and asked, “Who are the parents (who filed the complaint) mentioned in the Ministry of National Defense documents? Does Private Seo have other parents?”


Regarding Minister Choo’s filing of a defamation suit against a retired colonel who testified about her son and the broadcasting station that reported it, Floor Leader Joo criticized, “There is a limit even to impudence,” and said, “There is a saying that every plan you make ends in failure. Minister Choo seems to be coming up with plans that are increasingly doomed.”


Floor Leader Joo stated, “Is she determined to destroy the military as well, after completely ruining the prosecution?” and added, “Soldiers tend to be reserved and cautious with their words, but speaking out this much must be because they absolutely cannot endure it any longer.”



Regarding the government’s decision to provide a uniform 20,000 won communication subsidy, Floor Leader Joo said, “Is this not the growth of Lee Nak-yeon’s populism following Moon Jae-in’s populism?” and added, “Expanding the national influenza vaccination to all citizens is much more necessary than providing the communication subsidy.”
