[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Won Hee-ryong, Governor of Jeju and opposition presidential candidate, criticized President Moon Jae-in and Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae over the suspension of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's duties.


On the 25th, Governor Won said on Facebook, "They are incompetent, immoral, and shameless. Their behavior, lacking ability, principles, and shame, has reached its peak."


He added, "I was twice shocked yesterday after seeing Minister Choo and the Blue House," and said, "Minister Choo listed numerous forced allegations against Prosecutor General Yoon and then said, 'I have once again deeply realized that prosecutorial reform cannot be achieved by systems and laws alone.' Does this mean that even the seemingly omnipotent inspection and supervisory authority are insufficient?"


Governor Won said, "The Blue House spokesperson supported Minister Choo by saying, 'The President made no separate remarks,'” and added, "If not systems and laws, then what is the next card?"


He criticized, "All citizens, young and old, are gritting their teeth and enduring pain, but is it acceptable for politicians and leaders to act like this? Prosecutorial reform? The Corruption Investigation Office? The President and the Minister of Justice have thrown away even the minimum justification themselves."



Governor Won emphasized, "The people are not enduring because they lack thought or anger. There is little time left to catch their breath after COVID-19. Ultimately, the people will correct this, and I will stand at the forefront."
