[Asia Economy Reporter Jeon Jinyoung] Song Young-gil, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol's 'Jeon Du-hwan praise controversy' on the 20th, saying, "It is no different from saying he did well in politics except for Lee Wan-yong selling out the country."

At the Supreme Council meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Song said, "I confirmed that his political views closely resemble those of Jeon Du-hwan."

He said, "(Former Prosecutor General Yoon) praised iron-fist politics as system politics," and sharply questioned, "If Jeon Du-hwan's politics, which trampled on human rights and democracy and committed all kinds of corruption, is system politics, then are Hitler and Stalin also system politics?"

He added, "If an ordinary politician had made even one of Yoon's numerous reckless remarks, their political career would have ended," and emphasized, "He has survived under the defense of conservative media, but it is a mistake to think he will pass safely. We will not stand idly by."
