[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] Former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon criticized the passage of the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (PCC) amendment bill, saying, "The youths who once shouted to overthrow dictatorship in the 1980s have now donned armbands and become the bodyguards of dictatorial power."

On the 10th, former Mayor Oh said on Facebook, "Today is the day the 'pilot of democracy' sounded."

He stated, "This law is clearly the 'Moon Jae-in Protection Act,'" adding, "They shouted that prosecutorial reform was such a historic mission, but in the end, their true intention was a safety net after retirement."

Former Mayor Oh questioned, "If the PCC is going to be turned into the regime's Red Guards like this, then why pursue prosecutorial reform and why establish the PCC?" He criticized, "Today, words like proletarian dictatorship and North Korea's State Security Department keep coming to mind."

He pointed out, "There is no corruption or maladministration that remains concealed forever," and added, "The people's judgment, like a tidal wave, cannot be avoided. It is a foolish stance to stand with open arms in front of a tsunami."
