[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] On the 20th, Gwak Sang-do, a member of the People Power Party, pointed at President Moon Jae-in, saying, "Your Excellency, you must feel relieved," and criticized, "You have neutralized Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who was like a thorn in your side, into a powerless figure, and by building the 'Jaein Fortress,' you have taken one more step toward dictatorship."


On the same day, Gwak said on Facebook, "I was curious about the true nature since the democratization movement was used like a trump card, but now I see that it was about opposing dictatorship by others while creating a 'dictatorship of democratization forces,'" adding, "With this, they buy farmland for real estate speculation, acquire real estate in Gangnam, interfere in elections with power, and share the spoils through parachute appointments."


Gwak also said, "Not only that, but they are passing down privileges in their children's admissions, employment, and KATUSA service. They say that to firmly pass down power, they need to rule for 20 or 50 years," and pointed out, "The people, already struggling due to income-led growth and rapid minimum wage increases, were hit by COVID-19. Amid this, the government's real estate policies, job policies, and efforts to protect citizens' lives have all failed."


Gwak added, "At best, they boasted of K-quarantine, but it is incomparable to Taiwan's quarantine," and stated, "Since there are no achievements to boast about during the four years of the Moon Jae-in administration, isn't this an attempt to appoint Yoo Myung-hee, the head of trade negotiations, as the secretary-general of an international organization?"



Gwak said, "While the people's worries deepen, the power games show no sign of ending," and added, "The people are eagerly awaiting livelihood measures rather than the power sword dance wielded by Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae against the Prosecutor General."
