Lee Nak-yeon, the leader of the Democratic Party, criticized Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol’s resignation on the 5th as “unusual behavior that is not common sense as a public official.”
Representative Lee said at the Supreme Council of the Democratic Party that day, “President Yoon resigned after opposing the discussion on the establishment of the Severe Crime Investigation Office. The Minister and the Attorney General were able to present their opinions through reasonable channels, and that would have been a public official’s behavior,” he said.
Representative Lee said, “President Yoon resigned from the post of president one day after he presented an alternative to the heavy water office. Moreover, he himself agreed to the separation of investigation and prosecution in the National Assembly. It is being put in.”
“(President Yoon’s) move just before the resignation and the change of resignation seem to be a political declaration,” said Lee. “The influence he had on the prosecution will be judged coldly.”
He said, “Now, the reality that even the restoration of political neutrality of the prosecution has become an urgent task is paradoxical. The Democratic Party will come up with a highly complete prosecution reform plan and promote legislation.”
House representative Kim Tae-nyeon also criticized Yoon’s resignation. He pointed out that “I am sorry for the words and actions of President Yoon who forsaken the duty of public officials,” and that “the actions marked by prejudice and resistance to the reform of the prosecution showed the typical form of a political prosecutor until the end.”
“Sudden appreciation is only seen as a pre-planned move for political initiation,” said Kim Won-nae.
