Oh Young-hoon: "Yoon Called Junior Prosecutors, Explicitly Demanded Loyalty"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 29th, Rep. Oh Young-hoon, who serves as the spokesperson for former Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Nak-yeon, pointed out, "It is difficult to avoid criticism that former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is not a politician standing on the side of the people but rather the commander-in-chief protecting vested interests within the prosecution."

Rep. Oh said, "It is reported that former Prosecutor General Yoon called junior prosecutors from his own faction yesterday," and made this remark.

Rep. Oh criticized, "'Do not be shaken and work hard according to principles.' I do not understand from whom he meant not to be shaken, and whose principles he was emphasizing."

He further criticized, "This is an order demanding blatant loyalty to himself from prosecutors who must strictly maintain political neutrality."

Rep. Oh stated, "There is a fact that former Prosecutor General Yoon, who said 'I do not pledge loyalty to a person, but I love the organization very much,' must remember," adding, "South Korea's democracy has continued to advance despite all kinds of adversities." He continued, "The reform obstruction tactics of the prosecution's vested interest groups armed with anti-reform will inevitably end in failure," and added, "Our people will not tolerate a regression of history."

Meanwhile, it is known that former Prosecutor General Yoon called junior prosecutors close to him over the past weekend to convey the message "Do not be shaken by personnel matters." Although it was said that he comforted some secretaries who were demoted in the mid-level prosecution personnel reshuffle, some criticized that it was inappropriate for him to make remarks about personnel matters to prosecution executives ahead of the presidential election kickoff.
