[Asia Economy Reporters Jeon Jinyoung and Park Juni] Amid the emergence of allegations of "prosecution request scandal" involving opposition presidential candidate and former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, People Power Party lawmaker Jo Su-jin criticized the ruling party's offensive on the 6th, calling it "Yoon Seok-yeol ousting Season 2."

On the same day, during an emergency inquiry at the National Assembly's Legislation and Judiciary Committee, Rep. Jo said, "As soon as an unidentified document that makes no sense at all surfaced, the Democratic Party and the ruling party's second squad attacked like a swarm."

Rep. Jo added, "The Moon Jae-in administration's headquarters and the second squad have fully mobilized. Former Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, who jumped into the presidential race trying to catch someone like former Unified Progressive Party lawmaker Lee Jung-hee, also stood at the forefront of the ruling party. The ruling party has joined the fight," criticizing, "This is a ploy to prevent the total crisis of the Moon Jae-in government, such as the Media Arbitration Act and vaccine procurement failures, from being discussed during the Chuseok ancestral rites."

She continued, "It is extremely unpleasant that the ruling party and its second squad rush to launch a 'take it or leave it' style offensive based on a single unreliable report from an internet media outlet."

Minister of Justice Park Beom-gye, who attended the inquiry that day, stated, "It does not seem to be just a single line from an internet media outlet. The document is as long as 13 pages." In response, Rep. Jo raised her voice, saying, "If you want to run an exclusive report, you need evidence. And the report must be recognized as highly plausible. However, today's report said it seems unlikely that the core suspicion of whether former Prosecutor General Yoon ordered it will be easily revealed. Where else have you seen such a report? The ruling party is floundering, fooled by the headline, and will this be a presidential election?"
