Yoo Seung-min: "President Moon Prioritized Promoting K-Quarantine Over Securing Vaccines"
[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Yoo Seung-min, a former lawmaker and opposition presidential candidate, delivered a direct blow to President Moon Jae-in, saying, "While focusing on promoting K-quarantine, he shows no interest in securing the crucial vaccines."
On the 9th, Yoo said on Facebook, "Since May, when advanced countries rushed to secure vaccines, President Moon Jae-in has been preoccupied only with failed real estate policies, ousting the Prosecutor General, and the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials," criticizing the president.
He pointed out, "When faced with criticism over the delayed response to vaccines, the government hastily announced yesterday that they had 'secured' vaccines, even though contracts were not yet finalized," adding, "Today, the president made a statement that contradicts the government's own announcement from yesterday."
The government announced the day before that it had secured 44 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine and claimed, "This amount is sufficient," but Yoo criticized President Moon's statement on the same day to "secure additional vaccine supplies and advance the vaccination schedule."
Yoo said, "It is astonishing that the president reversed the Health and Welfare Minister's statement 180 degrees in just one day on such a critical issue involving the lives of the people and our economy like COVID-19," and criticized, "Where was he and what was he doing all this time, only to appear late and overturn the government's own words in a single day?"
