[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, criticized the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (PCC) on the 13th, saying, "The reason for the PCC's launch is to prevent corruption among high-ranking officials, not to control the prosecution, which is not the most important reason for its establishment," and added, "Now, it is a situation where only limiting the prosecution is being shouted."

At the floor leaders' meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Floor Leader Joo said, "The Moon Jae-in administration shamefully ignores the presidential special inspector but desperately puts all efforts into appointing the PCC chief whenever they open their mouths," and "Since the ruling and opposition parties agreed to appoint the PCC chief, the special inspector, and the director of the North Korean Human Rights Foundation simultaneously, the procedures for appointing the special inspector and the director of the North Korean Human Rights Foundation should be expedited."

Regarding real estate policy, Floor Leader Joo pointed out, "During the past four years of the Moon Jae-in government, apartment prices in Seoul have risen by as much as 58%," and "This is 4.5 times higher than the apartment price increase rate during the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye administrations. The Moon Jae-in government is outstanding in raising housing prices."

Concerning the Lime and Optimus cases, Floor Leader Joo stated, "Prosecutor Lee Sung-yoon is stalling the cases," and "If a special prosecutor is not appointed quickly, it will inevitably lead to a waste of national power and repetitive investigations." He continued, "What is the Democratic Party afraid of? It seems there are many circumstances that should not be revealed if it goes to a special prosecutor," and emphasized, "The full truth of the Druking case, which resulted in a prison sentence for Kim Kyung-soo, governor of Gyeongnam Province, was revealed through a special prosecutor. No matter how much the truth is suppressed, it will not be covered up."

Floor Leader Joo said, "It is reported that President Moon Jae-in spoke with President-elect Joe Biden yesterday, discussing the future-oriented development of the Korea-US alliance and close communication for denuclearization and peace settlement on the Korean Peninsula," and added, "The Moon Jae-in administration, which claimed to be the driver on the Korean Peninsula, must soberly recognize the reality that there are no achievements or benefits gained from mediation and negotiations between North Korea and the US, and only cracks remain in the alliance. I hope this will be a new opportunity for the restoration and recovery of the Korea-US alliance."
