[Asia Economy Reporter Yoon Seul-gi] Chu Mi-ae, a preliminary presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, raised her voice, saying, "The special prosecution organization that drove President Roh Moo-hyun to the brink of death is now trying to seize the presidency directly."


On the afternoon of the 5th, Chu made these remarks at the joint speech meeting for the selection of the 20th presidential candidate held at the CJB Convention Center in Cheongju, Chungbuk.


Chu continued, "They covered up the BBK incident with a bowl of gomtang, brought about the Lee Myung-bak administration, and that administration targeted President Roh Moo-hyun's life," adding, "At that time, special political prosecutors, including Yoon Seok-yeol, a key prosecutor of the Central Investigation Department, formed factions and fell into the delusion that they could create or destroy a regime."


Chu stated, "After finishing my term as party leader, I was called by President Moon Jae-in," and explained, "It was to complete prosecutorial reform following former Minister Cho Kuk despite the organized resistance from the prosecution. Although some comrades were cynical about the reform, we have finally come this far."


Chu said, "Yoon Seok-yeol is identified as the mastermind behind political manipulation through government accusations. If this is not a coup attempt by Yoon Seok-yeol's political prosecution, then what is?" She explained, "If the investigative command authority had been exercised and disciplinary requests made according to principles, the truth might have been revealed."


She added, "Now that the door to the truth has opened, citizens are unanimously saying, 'Chu Mi-ae was right,'" and emphasized, "Hearing this almost brought me to tears. If you choose me here, I strongly promise that I will most decisively suppress the coup provocation by the political prosecution."



Finally, Chu promised, "This primary should be a competition of reform versus reform, expanding the scope of reform and fully charging the will for reform," and said, "The ultimate goal of social grand reform is true national unity. At this time of national transformation, I will start the great journey of national unity through bold and swift social grand reform."
