“President Moon Jae-in rejected the resignation of prosecutor-general Kim Oh-soo…”

President Kim’s resignation was returned within one day.

The explanation is that President Moon, who received a verbal report from Justice Minister Park Beom-gye, immediately expressed his intention to reject it.

President Moon, who rejected his resignation in the morning, invited President Kim to the Blue House and had a separate interview in the afternoon.

At this meeting, President Moon said, “Reform must go beyond the position of the police and prosecutors and serve the people,” adding, “The same goes for legislation.”

He also pointed out that it is true that the public doubts the fairness of the prosecution’s investigation, and that the prosecution itself must constantly strive to self-correct.

He emphasized that both prosecution reform and related legislation should be thoroughly approached from the perspective of the people.

It was interpreted as a message to both the prosecution, who was opposed to the censorship and banishment bill, and the Democratic Party, which is enforcing the legislation.

It is analyzed that the need to come up with a compromise through dialogue instead of confrontation was mentioned on both sides, which are gradually approaching the extreme.

During the 70-minute interview, President Kim gave sufficient opinions, including the problems and alternatives of the bill, and President Moon listened, the Blue House reported.

At the same time, I urged President Kim to stay focused on the organization and do his best until the end, as he is not responsible for the current situation.

It seems that he has ordered that he be more active in communication with the prosecution and the National Assembly while showing his trust in President Kim.
