[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former People Power Party lawmaker Yoo Seung-min criticized on the 24th the situation where Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae excluded Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol from his duties and requested disciplinary action, saying, "Even when an unprecedented shocking incident in constitutional history occurs, the president hides again," and added, "The heads of the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution, who are responsible for justice and the rule of law, are acting like this, yet the president hides and says nothing. This is not even a country."

On the same day, Yoo said on Facebook, "The fact that the president said nothing after hearing the report from the Minister of Justice means he approved it by saying 'Do as is,'" and questioned, "But is this something to be done silently?"

Yoo pointed out, "The Prosecutor General is appointed by the president," and said, "If there were grounds for disciplinary action or suspension from duty, the president should stand before the people and say, 'Although the Prosecutor General has a guaranteed two-year term, he is dismissed due to such and such misconduct,' and the president should take political responsibility for not guaranteeing the term."

Yoo criticized, "The president who hides behind the Minister of Justice to avoid that responsibility and does not say a word?why is he so cowardly to this extent?" and urged, "Dismiss him boldly and take political responsibility as the president. Isn't it too much for the people, exhausted by the real estate crisis and COVID-19, to have to endure even the farce between the Minister of Justice and the Prosecutor General? Stop being cowardly any longer."
