[Asia Economy Reporter Geum Bo-ryeong] Regarding the Blue House reshuffle, the People Power Party pointed out the 'lack of talent in the administration.'

Yoon Hee-seok, spokesperson for the People Power Party, stated in an oral comment on the 16th, "It has become clear that there are no talents left in the Moon Jae-in administration," and asked, "Are they filling the vacancy left by the Prime Minister who left for the presidential race with another 'recycled appointment' while neglecting state affairs?" On the same day, President Moon Jae-in nominated former Minister of the Interior and Safety Kim Boo-kyum as Prime Minister and replaced ministers of five departments.

Spokesperson Yoon criticized, "Ignoring the separation of powers, they appointed the head of the legislative branch as Prime Minister, and this time nominated a former lawmaker who had even run for the ruling party leader as Prime Minister," adding, "How can President Moon Jae-in nominate the secondary perpetrator, who was called a 'complainant claiming harm,' as Prime Minister without feeling any of the public's anger?"

He continued, "Among numerous ministerial replacement candidates, only a few were changed, and the Deputy Prime Minister for Economic Affairs, who should have been dismissed long ago for economic failures, was retained," criticizing it as "a deception of the public to change the situation."

Spokesperson Yoon also said, "Where has the president's resolve gone, who said he would 'seriously accept the people's reprimand and take office with a heavy sense of responsibility' in response to public sentiment revealed by the by-elections?" and emphasized, "The People Power Party will thoroughly screen unqualified candidates through the confirmation hearings."
