[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyun-joo] Ahn Min-seok, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated, "How can we lose this administration, which was created by candlelight protests, in just five years?" and claimed, "The concern about a Prosecutor's Republic is becoming a reality."

On the 16th, Ahn appeared on KBS Radio's 'Joo Jin-woo Live' and referred to President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol's transition committee, saying, "It feels like watching MB's transition committee season 2 from 2008," and added, "The behavior of an occupying force is really something else."

Ahn continued, "The principle of democracy is to accept the results. We will cooperate where cooperation is needed and check where checks are necessary, but we hope things go well," while also stating, "If they continue to act like an occupying force in this way, we cannot stand idly by. The public will be very disappointed."

Ahn said, "The Prosecutor's Republic is becoming a reality," and emphasized, "We must gather the power to stop this and aim for victory in the local elections. Since there are strong discussions within our party (Democratic Party) about responsibility for the presidential election, it is difficult to win the local elections."

He added, "The party is currently in turmoil. As a senior lawmaker, I am pouring much of my energy into behind-the-scenes coordination to quickly reorganize and unify the party," and said, "Regardless of whether I run or not, I believe a gathering of lawmakers to stop the Prosecutor's Republic is necessary. This must absolutely be stopped."

Ahn also said, "During the MB administration, lawmakers carried two or three cell phones fearing wiretapping. Now, I wonder if we need to prepare one more phone," and added, "I am also afraid. The Democratic Party, together with the people, must stop the era of the Prosecutor's Republic. This is currently my greatest concern and urgency."
