On the 25th, the Democratic Party of Korea attacked President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol, impeding the Moon Jae-in administration’s legitimate exercise of personnel rights, and was arrogantly ‘romantic’.
At a non-commissioned meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Ho-jung Yun, chairman of the emergency response committee, said, “(Yoon-elect) was stubborn before the Blue House Yongsan, which 60% of the people oppose, and is holding back the government’s legitimate exercise of personnel rights.” He pointed out, “The people are uneasy as they show arrogance and imperial steps.”
Chae Yi-bae, a deputy committee member, also urged Yoon-elect, “Do not try to infringe on the authority of the current president by taking a seat in a public institution.”
Rep. Park Jumin also emphasized on KBS Radio that President Moon Jae-in’s appointment at the end of his term is “not only a privilege granted by the Constitution, but an obligation given by the people.”
In particular, regarding the appointment of the Audit Committee member of the Board of Audit and Inspection, he said, “It is right for the government to go to the position of an audit committee member who is uncomfortable with the government.” It’s not justified,” he criticized.

The Democratic Party also lashed out at Yoon’s transition committee for suspending a business report to the Ministry of Justice, which was in conflict over the abolition of investigative authority, saying it was “ignorant behavior” and “lined up public officials.”
“The refusal to report a normal business report because the competent ministry has presented a different opinion is intended to tame the Ministry of Justice to suit the taste of the regime,” said Yoon Bi-Chairman. Isn’t it?” he asked.
Rep. Park, who is also a secretary of the Democratic Party of the National Assembly Judiciary Committee, said on MBC radio, “The abolition of the justice minister’s right to direct investigation is a matter that needs to be amended. To do that, you need help from the National Assembly, but the seat ratio is not smooth.” How to change things, this is already being discussed, but the Ministry of Justice is the place that does that.”
He continued, “If the Minister of Justice determines that the ABCDE requirements must be met when exercising the investigation command, it will be difficult to exercise the investigation command right because it must be exercised in accordance with the directive when exercising the legal power. It seems to be planning,” he pointed out, saying, “It is a part that can undermine the big principles of the Constitution.”
