[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Former People Power Party lawmaker Yoo Seung-min criticized President Moon Jae-in's statement on the 23rd that "It is inevitable that countries producing the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccines start vaccinations first. We will also begin vaccinations without delay and are preparing well," saying, "President Moon lied about the vaccines," and added, "Countries that are not vaccine producers started vaccinations first, and our vaccinations have already been delayed, and preparations are not going well."

On the same day, Yoo said on Facebook, "Now that the public knows everything, why does the president calmly tell such lies?" He added, "This question was somewhat answered after hearing the Blue House's explanation. There are also reports that the president reprimanded his aides and cabinet. The president gave instructions 13 times, but the failure to secure vaccines is entirely the responsibility of the subordinates."

Yoo pointed out, "Regarding Wolseong Unit 1, bureaucrats sold their souls at the president's single remark, 'Is it still operating?' and the 'possessed' official deleted 444 evidence files and is now under investigation. The Prosecutor General who defied the Minister of Justice received a two-month suspension and is currently in litigation," and questioned, "How severe will the punishment be for the public officials who disobeyed the president's thirteen orders?"

Yoo stated, "If the president lied knowingly to avoid future responsibility, the people who have such a shameful president are pitiful," and added, "After seeing Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong's moving speech and the photo of Pfizer vaccines arriving at Singapore Changi Airport, I felt even more ashamed of our president."

Yoo said, "The Blue House said, 'Stop politicizing the vaccines.' Politics is about solving the people's pain, so why tell us to stop politics?" He continued, "During the COVID-19 crisis, wasn't the president and the Blue House the ones who most politically exploited the K-quarantine system, which the whole world envies? Isn't this a case of the pot calling the kettle black?"
