People Power Party: "President Moon's Self-Serving Apology... Interpreted as Intent to Control the Prosecution"

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyungsoo] Amid President Moon Jae-in's apology regarding the disciplinary controversy surrounding Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party criticized it as a self-serving apology that is worse than no apology at all.

Spokesperson Kim Eun-hye said on the 25th, "We consider the president's apology fortunate, even if it is at this late stage," but added, "The self-serving apology only confuses the public further."

She continued, "Is it a debt of gratitude toward Minister Chu Mi-ae, or is it anger toward Prosecutor General Yoon, who investigated the living power based on trust in the president's words?"

Furthermore, she said, "It reads as a determination and resolve to accelerate the control over the prosecution," and added, "It would have been better not to apologize at all."
