[Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] Kim Tae-nyeon, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, saying he is "touring the country like a campaign."

At the floor strategy meeting held at the National Assembly on the morning of the 10th, Floor Leader Kim said, "Our people are uncomfortable with Prosecutor General Yoon's behavior of touring the country like a campaign to promote political messages," and criticized, "He is resisting the people's demand for prosecutorial reform by investigating government policies."

Regarding the investigation into allegations of economic manipulation of the Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant Unit 1, he said, "The prosecution is an agency under the Ministry of Justice," and added, "It does not have the authority to evaluate government policies and state administration. The evaluation of government policies belongs to the sovereign people and their representatives in the legislature. The prosecution investigating government policies is a clear abuse of prosecutorial power that crosses the constitutional separation of powers and even exercises legislative authority."

He continued, "If the prosecution wants to talk about the people's prosecution, it must first undergo a thorough self-reflection and self-reform regarding abuse of power," and emphasized, "The Democratic Party will complete prosecutorial reform, the greatest reform task of this era, regardless of any resistance."

Regarding U.S. President-elect Joe Biden, he said, "One of the core keywords of Bidenomics is the expansion of eco-friendliness," and added, "The fact that major countries around the world, including the U.S., are pursuing a low-carbon economy will be a great opportunity for the Green New Deal we are promoting."

He continued, "At this time, the government, private sector, and both ruling and opposition parties must come together with wisdom and cooperation for the transition to a low-carbon economy," and emphasized, "The Democratic Party will do its best to create an opportunity for South Korea's leap forward through a low-carbon economy."

Regarding the following day, the 11th, which is Farmers' Day, he said, "We must expand investment in smart agriculture and the agro-food industry," and added, "We will realize sustainable agriculture through institutional improvements and securing budgets."
