[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hye-min] On the 17th, Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, sarcastically commented on the approval of the '2-month suspension' disciplinary action against Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, "Minister Choo Mi-ae has very faithfully played the role of a ruffian."

Joo attended the emergency committee meeting held at the National Assembly that morning and made these remarks.

He said, "President Moon Jae-in also managed to suppress Prosecutor General Yoon without soiling his hands with blood. Congratulations," and added, "I also congratulate the five members of the Ministry of Justice's Prosecutor Disciplinary Committee for becoming forever known as the 'Gyeongja Five Bandits,' a name that will remain a family honor."

Joo continued, "I sincerely congratulate the suspension of all investigations related to the regime, transferring them to the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials (CIO), and ensuring safety after retirement," and sharpened his words by saying, "When Prosecutor General Yoon received a one-month suspension during the previous administration, it was called a 'heartless regime,' but please tell me what we should call this regime."

Regarding Minister Choo's reference to poets Yi Yuk-sa and Jeong Ho-seung and her use of the term 'fair and just,' Joo said, "That term is too inappropriate for Minister Choo to use," and criticized, "The climax written by poet Yi Yuk-sa represents the peak of this regime's madness, and the 'shattered pieces' symbolize the fragmentation of the rule of law in the Republic of Korea and Minister Choo's character, which the public will all remember."

Joo also told Prosecutor General Yoon, "You must become not merely a victim of power but a warrior who protects the Constitution and the rule of law of the Republic of Korea," adding, "Because now is the time when we must rediscover democracy with a thirst that burns at dawn."

Regarding the COVID-19 vaccine, he said, "The government, which said it would secure sufficient quantities but respond flexibly until safety is verified, has stated that vaccine introduction will proceed according to our country's procedures regardless of U.S. FDA approval," and questioned, "Are they trying to experiment on our people with vaccines that have not yet been approved by advanced countries and have low immunity rates?"

Joo further said, "A budget of 450 million won was spent on President Moon's visit to public rental housing, and just before the event, 43 million won was spent to renovate only that house, making it appear as cozy as the others," and added, "No matter how excellent PD Tak Hyun-min's direction is, I ask President Moon not to follow everything blindly but to oversee and manage things carefully."
