[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] The People Power Party criticized the Blue House's appointment of former Ministry of Justice Legal Affairs Officer Lee Yong-gu as Deputy Minister of Justice, saying it seems they are "determined to remove the Prosecutor General."

On the 2nd, Kim Ye-ryeong, spokesperson for the People Power Party, stated in a verbal comment, "The president shattered the last hope by placing a more reliable 'ally' in the vacant position of the Deputy Minister of Justice who resigned saying 'I will take responsibility.'"

Spokesperson Kim pointed out, "Former Legal Affairs Officer Lee is a person who coordinated prosecutorial reforms with Ministers Cho Kuk and Choo Mi-ae, and was even mentioned as the ruling party's first candidate for the head of the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials, making him an undisputed 'person of the regime.'" He added, "Yet, he added the absurd claim that he will 'resolve matters fairly and neutrally,' which confirms the president's perception is completely out of touch with public sentiment."

He continued, "If even the president tries to go against the path of justice and common sense, a greater tsunami of public sentiment will follow."
