Conflict is escalating between Minister Park Bum-gye and President Yoon Suk-yeol over the first high-ranking prosecutors’ officials.

After the announcement of the prosecution’s officials yesterday, the so-called’passing the president’ controversy was raised that the opinion of President Yoon Suk-yeol was hardly reflected.

Justice Minister Park Beom-gye met with reporters on his way to work today to make a statement.
You may think that it is a bit inadequate from the point of view of President Yoon, but he said he tried his best and wanted to ask him to understand.
Specifically, a former chief of the Great Sword Planning and Coordination Department was appointed as the head of the prosecutor’s office of the Ministry of Justice, who is in charge of the prosecution’s personnel and budget.
He explained that the appointment of the Daejeon District Prosecutors’ Office, who was in charge of the investigation of the Wolseong nuclear power plant, reflected the opinion of the president.
In particular, he emphasized that when he met Yoon in person, most of these greetings were conveyed clearly orally, and that he thought it was not a so-called’passing of the president’.
Let’s listen directly to Secretary Park.
[박범계 / 법무부 장관 : 검찰국장은 교체했고요. 또 신임 검찰국장은 총장의 비서실장 격인 (대검찰청) 기획조정부장을 했던 사람을 임명했고, 또 신임 기획조정부장에 총장이 원하는 사람을 임명했고, 대전지검장을 유임했습니다. 그런 측면에서 ‘패싱’ 이런 말은 좀 맞지 않지 않느냐, 하는 생각을 가져봅니다.]
Minister Park also explained that as to the appointment of Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office Lee Seong-yoon, those investigating the pending issue should continue to investigate.
When asked if he is planning a large-scale personnel affair after his term in office in July, he answered “of course”, suggesting the possibility of large-scale personnel in the second half of this year.

You are in a position that you haven’t received specific personnel plans in advance and that the president’s opinion has hardly been reflected?
[기자]
It is known that there are not a few voices of dissatisfaction on the side of General Yoon as the so-called Chu Mi-ae line remained mostly in the chiefsword staff.
In particular, it is the position that President Yoon had no knowledge of specific personnel details, such as the prosecution chief Shim Jae-cheol being seen at the Seoul Southern District Prosecutors’ Office.
At the time of the last review, the final personnel plan was notified in advance, but this time it was different, and there is also an intense reaction that it was more than that of the former Minister Chu.
In addition, criticism was raised that it was only’show’ that Minister Park met with President Yoon twice and even released photos.
On the other hand, the Ministry of Justice expressed displeasure, saying that the contents of the conversation between the minister and the general secretary were immediately reported to some media, promptly saying hello on holidays.
However, there has not been an open movement of collective opposition within the prosecution until now.
There is also a prospect that the conflict will continue if the prosecution’s middle officials are appointed.
