Prime Minister Jung appeared at JTBC this evening and said on Facebook that he would’contemplate the role he should play as Prime Minister’ in relation to President Yoon, and said, “You can also consider making a suggestion to the President about the prosecutor general’s move or this. It means that there is,” he explained. He answered “yes” to the question of the moderator, “Do you mean that you will convey the opinion that it is better for President Yoon to quit?”

Prime Minister Jung explained, “It is impossible to distinguish whether Yoon is currently serving as the prosecutor general or whether he is in his politics.”

Prime Minister Chung meets with President Moon Jae-in every Monday during weekly meetings. He said, “I can speak at the weekly meeting or report it over the phone.” It has opened the possibility of suggesting the dismissal of President Yoon at the weekly meeting on the 8th. However, “(until next Monday, when the weekly meeting is held), the date remains in the future, so it is a matter of consideration and deliberation about how President Yoon behaves and what the people think (see etc.) “I said.

Regarding whether President Moon legally has the right to dismiss President Yoon, “Some people claim that they have only the right to appoint, and they think that they have the right to dismiss (in some cases).” “Isn’t it necessary to judge whether there is a reason to understand or not.”

Prime Minister Chung criticized the background of the dismissal proposal, saying, “(The media interview of President Yoon) is both the content and the format.” Prime Minister Jung said, “The position also depends on the position” and “there is a gold road,” as he pointed out that there may be objections that have revealed personal positions through media interviews or Facebook.

“(President Yoon) is the first to talk to the Minister of Justice, and in some cases, you can talk to the Blue House, the ruling party, or the National Assembly.” “Behavior” said. He said, “Isn’t this a different idea than something given, such a situation that makes you think like this.”

When asked if he thinks that Yoon will run for the presidential election next year, Prime Minister Chung said, “I don’t need to talk about that. I’m not the person who is currently in politics, but I’m in charge of the administration. It’s wise to talk beyond that category.” I don’t think I did.”

Earlier on the morning of this day, Prime Minister Chung expressed his opposition to the Severe Crime Investigation Agency (SMB), saying, “I will take the job,” in a media interview on Facebook this morning. “Leave your job and behave confidently”, “Irresponsible incitement to the public. Criticized.

However, it seems likely that there will be controversy whether Prime Minister Chung can propose dismissal to President Moon. According to the constitution, the Prime Minister can propose to the President that members of the State Council are dismissed. The Prosecutor General is not a member of the State Council. However, there is also an interpretation that Prime Minister Chung may suggest the dismissal of President Yoon to President Moon in a political sense. It is an observation that if President Moon directly reveals that he no longer trusts President Yoon at the recommendation of Prime Minister Chung, he will not be able to keep his position.

When asked about his intention to resign in October last year, President Yoon mentioned the president’s confidence, saying, “The president, who is the nominee, has asked me to fulfill his duties during his term of office.”
