[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Ju-hee] Heo Eun-ah, the chief spokesperson of the People Power Party, sharply criticized the Democratic Party of Korea regarding Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo's resignation announcement, saying, "Does the Democratic Party really feel satisfied only when they drive out everyone who thinks differently from this land?"


On the 17th, Heo posted on her Facebook, stating, "In the end, Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo has expressed his intention to resign," and criticized the situation.


Heo pointed out, "Please focus on your duties as a public party, a 'Political Party.' The current Democratic Party is closer to what the 20s and 30s generation calls a 'Great Chaos Party.'


She added, "Do you lose reason when you lose power? I sincerely hope you regain your reason," and raised her voice, saying, "Do not abandon the rule of law and common sense out of fear."


Earlier, Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo expressed his intention to resign on the morning of the same day in protest against the Democratic Party's bill to completely strip the prosecution's investigative authority, known as 'Geomsu Wanbak (Complete Removal of Prosecution's Investigative Authority).'


In a statement, Kim said, "'I bow my head in apology to the public and members of the prosecution for the conflicts and turmoil surrounding the legislative process of the 'Geomsu Wanbak' bill,'" and added, "As Prosecutor General, I take responsibility for the occurrence of such conflicts and turmoil and have submitted my resignation to the Minister of Justice."



He continued, "I believe that a new criminal law system, which greatly affects the human rights of the people, should be operated for at least 10 years before discussing whether to reform the system," and said, "I earnestly hope that my submission of the resignation letter will serve as a small opportunity for the members of the National Assembly to reconsider carefully during the legislative process going forward."
