[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party criticized the Blue House's emphasis on a "swift and thorough investigation without any sanctuary" regarding Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae's exercise of investigative command authority, calling it "shielding Minister Choo."

Hwang Gyu-hwan, deputy spokesperson of the People Power Party, said in a statement on the 21st, "The Blue House is legitimizing Minister Choo's behavior, which is nothing more and nothing less than an abuse of power aimed at obscuring the essence of the case and covering up the truth."

Deputy Spokesperson Hwang also criticized the ruling party, saying, "The ruling party, which should be pointing out wrongful behavior, has forgotten the fundamental role of the legislature and is only eager to praise Minister Choo," adding, "Lee Nak-yeon, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, reversed the cause and effect by calling it 'democratic control over prosecutorial power abuse.'"

He pointed out, "Former Blue House Senior Secretary for Political Affairs Kang Ki-jung, who is a suspect in the Lime Fund scandal, made a disgraceful shift from calling Kim Bong-hyun a 'fraudster' to 'prosecutor gate,'" and added, "When allegations of lobbying by ruling party figures emerged one after another, they turned a blind eye, but now, as if they have caught a good break with a single letter from the suspect in prison, Minister Choo is recklessly pushing forward again. No citizen believes this behavior to be an 'investigation without sanctuary.'"

Deputy Spokesperson Hwang referred to Minister Choo's Facebook post demanding Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl to "apologize," saying, "Who should be the first to reflect and apologize as a commander?" and added, "Before blaming the opposition and the media, those who truly deceive the people should look back on themselves."
