View original image[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Joo Ho-young, floor leader of the People Power Party, criticized on the 29th regarding the head of the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Office (HOCI), saying, "The government and ruling party unilaterally recommended the HOCI chief candidate by stripping the opposition party of its veto power," and added, "While it should be focusing on COVID-19 prevention, it has concentrated on ousting Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and the HOCI, which are disconnected from the livelihood of the people."
At the People Power Party's on-tact policy workshop that afternoon, Floor Leader Joo said, "This is to cover up the regime's corruption and maintain the regime," and added, "The day Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae talks about will be remembered as a day of shame for democracy in the Republic of Korea."
Floor Leader Joo pointed out, "President Moon Jae-in said there was no concern about insufficient vaccine supply or delayed vaccinations. However, based on what we have identified, it seems President Moon's statement is not true, causing unavoidable anxiety and concern," and criticized, "Honestly, even if they openly apologize, it would not be enough, but still, the public's anxiety is increasing due to the self-praise of K-quarantine."

Floor Leader Joo sharpened his remarks, saying, "The government said there is no other way than the unity of the people, but did the Korean people fail to unite over the past year to reach this situation?" and added, "It only shifts the responsibility for the government's quarantine failure onto the people. It is an irresponsible and complacent perception."
