In an interview with the press, the Blue House said to Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who said, “I will prevent the prosecution from abolishing the prosecution’s right to investigate,” saying, “You should carefully express your opinions according to the established procedures. An official from the Blue House met with reporters on the 2nd and said, “The National Assembly will exercise legislative power by synthesizing public opinions on the reform of the prosecution. The prosecution should respect the National Assembly and express opinions carefully according to the established procedures.” As the head of a prosecution organization under the control of political power, the message is to refrain from disclosing unrefined opinions on the reform of the prosecution to the outside. Previously, Yoon said in an interview for two days, “(Repealing the prosecution’s right to investigate) is an attempt to abolish the prosecution, not to the extent that it shakes the prosecution. The prosecution does not bend despite all the pressure, so they try to steal the sword and drive it out. According to the principle, as I walked on the road, I was trying to dig up the road by pulling a crane at all.” General Yoon said, “If I can bet and stop it, I will bet even 100 times.” The Blue House is unpleasant, but it seems to avoid direct conflict with Yun. Regarding the matters such as the establishment of a heavy water office raised by President Yoon, the National Assembly, which has legislative power, is collecting opinions from the public, and the prosecution only said that it should be respected. It is not that the incumbent prosecutor general will protest in the form of “I will assume the post”, but if there is an opinion, it is to discuss with the National Assembly according to the procedure. This position of the Blue House is in line with the recent discussion within the ruling party that it is necessary to’speed control’ for the establishment of the heavy water office. Attorney General Park Beom-gye’s intention to meet with General Yoon seems to be a sign of his intention to convey the opinion of the prosecution to the ruling party. An official at the Blue House said, “I will not explain further when asked, “Is the Blue House perceived that President Yoon’s remarks do not fit the procedure?” It is an area for the media to interpret,” he avoided.
