[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyemin] On the 27th, first-term lawmakers of the People Power Party began a relay one-person protest in front of the Blue House. They headed to the Blue House to deliver a written inquiry urging President Moon Jae-in to respond to the conflict between Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae and Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-youl, but when they were refused, they started the protest.
Kim Eun-hye, spokesperson for the People Power Party, announced that afternoon, "The Blue House ultimately rejected the letter sent to the President," and said they decided to start a relay one-person protest holding the inquiry letter.
Spokesperson Kim emphasized, "We request a responsible response and a meeting from President Moon Jae-in, who remains silent despite pushing the people and the country, already suffering from COVID-19, into ruin," adding, "The first-term lawmakers will not leave this place until our intentions are acknowledged."
Earlier, first-term lawmakers of the People Power Party issued a statement at the National Assembly that morning demanding President Moon's answers regarding ▲the reasons for dismissing the Prosecutor General ▲the economic feasibility manipulation issue of the Wolseong Unit 1 nuclear reactor ▲and allegations of the Blue House's interference in the Ulsan mayoral election.
They then headed to the Blue House to deliver the inquiry letter and waited for about three hours but have yet to deliver it. Spokesperson Kim said, "They are refusing to accept the inquiry letter citing COVID-19 prevention measures and live broadcasting on site," and added, "We will wait until the end."
