[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former Future United Party leader Hwang Kyo-ahn criticized the passage of the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (HOCI) law on the 10th, saying, "The unilateral passage of the HOCI law is a declaration of war against the democracy of the Republic of Korea and its people."

On the same day, Hwang said on Facebook, "I endured it with the feeling of being stabbed in the thigh with an awl, but I can no longer bear it, so I express my resistance in writing." This is the first time in eight months that Hwang has posted on SNS since sharing his thoughts on Facebook after voting in the general election on April 15.

Hwang stated, "The Moon Jae-in administration is driving in an indispensable nail into the democracy of the Republic of Korea," and added, "Remaining silent now is a sin against the country and history." He continued, "There is almost nothing the opposition party can do at this moment. It is truly regrettable and I apologize to the people."

Hwang urged, "I hope the leadership of the 'People Power Party,' all lawmakers, committee chairs, and party members will resist with all their might," emphasizing, "Even if it cannot be stopped right now, the people will stop the regime's reckless actions and restore democracy."
