Park Hong-geun: "Han Dong-hoon Nomination is a 'Disastrous Appointment'... A Prelude to State Affairs Manipulation"

"Will Carry Out Political Retaliation... The Real Number Two, Mun Gori So President"
"Nomination Must Be Withdrawn Immediately Even Now"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 14th, Park Hong-geun, the floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, criticized the nomination of Han Dong-hoon as Minister of Justice as a "disastrous appointment," saying, "The nomination of Prosecutor Han, by President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol who verbally proclaimed fairness, common sense, and national unity, is an uppercut to the people who had placed their hopes on the new government."

On that day, Floor Leader Park said at the policy coordination meeting, "If candidate Han becomes Chief of Civil Affairs and Minister of Justice, it is obvious that he will become Yoon Seok-yeol's Woo Byung-woo, oppressing the people and opposition parties and carrying out political revenge."

He continued, "This is a prelude to the state affairs manipulation by the de facto second-in-command of the Yoon administration, the 'Mungori Little President,'" criticizing, and emphasized, "We must cleanly cut it out before it becomes a cancerous tumor."

He said, "The Han Dong-hoon card is the worst appointment beyond the public's greatest imagination," and urged, "Withdraw the nomination immediately, even now."

He also said, "It has become clear from this appointment announcement why the Democratic Party is so desperate to complete the reform legislation of power institutions by April," adding, "The nomination of Han Dong-hoon is a challenge and threat to legislative power."

Floor Leader Park emphasized, "Against the attempt to establish a prosecutorial republic, the Democratic Party will definitely achieve the reform law of power institutions according to the National Assembly Act procedures."
