Gwangju 5 District Council Members Condemn Yoon Seok-yeol's Political Retaliation Remarks and Regressive Politics

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Democratic Party members of the five district councils in Gwangju Metropolitan City criticized, saying, "Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, is engaging in regressive politics that divides the people with politically retaliatory remarks."

The council members made this statement in a press release on the 13th.

They stated, "The Moon Jae-in administration appointed Yoon Seok-yeol as Prosecutor General, even breaking ranks to carry out prosecutorial reform, which was a target for clearing deep-rooted evils. Yoon Seok-yeol must be aware that he was chosen for the Moon administration's identity, namely prosecutorial reform, but now, running as the opposition party's candidate, he labels the current administration as a deep-rooted evil and says that if he gains power, he will control the prosecution through political investigations."

They continued, "Everyone in the Republic of Korea knows that the position of Prosecutor General under the Moon administration is a role dedicated to prosecutorial reform," and asked, "Is the reason he is running as the opposition party's presidential candidate because President Moon's will for prosecutorial reform is insufficient, or because he dislikes prosecutorial reform itself?"

They also said, "Currently, candidate Yoon Seok-yeol is denying and trampling on the fundamental principles of democracy, fostering conflict and division," emphasizing, "He is threatening the people by placing the identity of the prosecution organization above the identity of the government established by the people of the Republic of Korea."

They added, "We strongly urge Yoon Seok-yeol to stop this dangerously reckless political agitation that regresses the history of Korean democracy and could plunge the people into confusion and crisis, and to apologize before the people."
