[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, criticized President Moon Jae-in on the 17th for approving the '2-month suspension' disciplinary action against Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, "He has become a corrupt figure himself" and "He is following the footsteps of an unfortunate president."

On the same day, Ha said on Facebook, "Measures to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) and vaccine supply policies are frustratingly slow, but the 'purge of Yoon Seok-yeol' is lightning-fast," adding, "Is blocking the investigation of power corruption more important to President Moon than COVID-19 measures?"

Ha pointed out, "This re-approval of Yoon Seok-yeol's disciplinary action is President Moon admitting that he himself is the core of corruption," and said, "He destroyed the rule of law and committed abuse of power crimes by using Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae to remove the Prosecutor General investigating power corruption. This is a new type of corruption never experienced before in the history of the Republic of Korea."

Ha said, "If President Moon truly could not go along with Prosecutor General Yoon, he should have called him directly to resign and taken political responsibility accordingly," but added, "Instead of taking the straightforward approach, he chose a trick. The Blue House says the president has no discretion over disciplinary actions and had no choice but to sign the approval. If any backlash occurs, it is an irresponsible and cowardly excuse that Minister Choo alone should take the blame."

Ha said, "The public knows exactly who is the mastermind behind this purge of Yoon Seok-yeol. They will also hold them strictly accountable," and added, "It is heartbreaking that the era of an unfortunate president continues, but that too is a self-inflicted consequence."
