[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People’s Party, stated on the 25th regarding the court’s approval of the suspension of the disciplinary action filed by Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol against Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae, “The Blue House and the ruling party should stop at this point,” adding, “The more they insist on distorted politics that destroys fairness and common sense and excludes opponents, the more it will boomerang as public discontent and come back to them.”

On the same day, Ahn said on Facebook, “This has been a great comfort to the people spending a gloomy Christmas due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19),” and added, “As someone who opposed Prosecutor General Yoon’s disciplinary action, I am relieved and happy.”

Ahn stated, “This court ruling should serve as an opportunity to break the chronic abnormality that has become entrenched under this administration and establish a universal world where justice, fairness, common sense, and principles take root,” and emphasized, “They must realize that governance can no longer be conducted through forceful arguments, sophistry, and the private use of power.”

Ahn also urged, “Now, Prosecutor General Yoon should engrave in his heart the people’s wish for him to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law and to eradicate corruption among the powerful, and fulfill his duties.”

He added, “Through a series of recent rulings, I once again realize the importance of the separation of powers and just judges,” and said, “President Moon Jae-in, who has studied law, should also have deep reflection. No matter how strong power is, there is no power that can defeat the people.”
