South Korean President Moon Jae-in said, “The political situation is confusing and worries the people, as the confrontation between the administration and the prosecutor's president is deepening over the investigation of aides and the reform of the prosecution. I feel very sorry. "
On the other hand, he emphasized his determination to realize prosecution reform as an important issue.
In South Korea, the confrontation between the administration's minister, Chu Mi-ae, and the prosecutor's top prosecutor, Yoon Seok-you, has deepened over the investigation and prosecution reforms of President Moon Jae-in's aides. The president's approval rating has fallen to the 30% level, the lowest since he took office.
Under these circumstances, President Mun apologized for the turmoil in national affairs, saying at the beginning of the meeting held on the 7th, "I am very sorry as the president because the political situation is confused and worries the people."
On the other hand, he said, "Reform of power institutions is one of the biggest homework. The effort to do so has come to the final stage of fruition." He emphasized his determination to realize prosecution reform as an important issue.
Regarding Prosecutor Yun, the Korean Ministry of Justice plans to hold its first disciplinary committee on the 10th of this month in response to a request for disciplinary action from Minister of Justice Chu, and major Korean media will be dismissed with a term of office until July next year. I am telling you that I may decide.
In response, Prosecutor Yun strongly opposes the disciplinary committee's complaint that it is unconstitutional.
