[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, criticized the controversy surrounding Rep. Yoon Young-chan of the Democratic Party of Korea's 'Kakao News Editing Pressure Texts' on the 15th, saying, “While talking about cooperation, communication, justice, and fairness upfront, the duplicity of the Democratic Party Moon Jae-in administration is revealed by using a first-term lawmaker who was formerly the Blue House's Chief of Public Relations to censor and adjust the arrangement of articles on portal sites behind the scenes.”

At the appointment ceremony and the 1st meeting of the 'Special Committee on Fair Measures for Portals' held at the National Assembly that day, Floor Leader Joo said, “Many citizens had suspicions about the fairness of portals, but these suspicions were confirmed as true by the bullying text messages from Rep. Yoon, a ruling party member and former Blue House Chief of Public Relations,” adding, “Even if we concede a hundred times that the main opposition party leader's speech was exposed a little earlier on the portal main page, the very thought that this could be a problem is an arrogant and dictatorial idea.”

Floor Leader Joo pointed out, “Under the Moon Jae-in administration, the separation of powers, rule of law, and democracy have been thoroughly damaged,” and “Now, they are trying to continue an unlimited rush toward a new dictatorship by even taking control of portals.”

He added, “We must eradicate and definitely change this outdated behavior of controlling the media and portals to suit the tastes of power,” and “We will prepare and implement fundamental measures so that portals will never again be swayed by political power.”
