An Min-seok: "Yoon's Standoff Means He Wants to Face Off with the President... Moon Is a Very Fearsome Person"

Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is arriving at the Supreme Prosecutors' Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the 16th. In the early morning of the same day, the Disciplinary Committee for Prosecutors acknowledged allegations against Prosecutor General Yoon, including undermining political neutrality, obstructing the Channel A case inspection and investigation, and suspicions of surveilling judges, and decided on a two-month suspension.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Suwan] On the 17th, Ahn Minseok, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, claimed that Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's indication of non-acceptance of the two-month suspension disciplinary action seemed to send a message that "Prosecutor General Yoon intends to fight the president instead of deciding his own position."

In an interview on BBS's 'Park Kyungsoo's Morning Journal' that day, Ahn said, "This is a declaration of war against the people and the president."

Regarding Prosecutor General Yoon's actions, Ahn criticized, "He should resign himself, but he is holding out," calling it "a truly foolish judgment."

He added, "President Moon Jae-in is actually a very formidable person. Usually, he seems gentle, but when he sets his mind to something, he is formidable," and said, "Prosecutor General Yoon will not be able to defeat the people who desire prosecutorial reform and the president."

He continued, "Especially since prosecutorial reform is the spirit of the times. Prosecutor General Yoon, who is fighting against this spirit of the times, will eventually self-destruct."

Meanwhile, the day before, President Moon approved the two-month suspension disciplinary action against Prosecutor General Yoon, which was proposed by Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae. In response, Prosecutor General Yoon immediately announced plans to file an injunction against the disciplinary action and other appeals.
