Seok-yeol Yoon filed a complaint the day after the disposition of President Wen
Application for suspension of “unfair disciplinary grounds”
Passport raises pressure on voluntary resignation
Around 9:00 pm on the 17th, one day after President Moon Jae-in approved the two-month suspension of the Disciplinary Committee of the Ministry of Justice against Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, President Yoon filed an administrative lawsuit for cancellation of the disciplinary action and a request for suspension of execution to the Seoul Administrative Court.
Through the warden, Yun argued that “the grounds for disciplinary action were unjust, and the disciplinary action was illegally performed without properly ensuring the right to defend.” He added, “Being unable to perform a job is a damage that cannot be compensated for money, and undermines the political independence and neutrality of the prosecutors who seek to guarantee the constitutional rule of law and term of office.” “Honesty disposition is irreparable damage.” Emphasized. Yoon also stated in the complaint that there is a need for an emergency as there is concern about a major disruption in the investigation of important cases, such as the suspicion of the early shutdown of the Wolseong nuclear power plant unit 1, and concerns about the public decomposition of the investigation team in personnel in January next year.
Under the National Public Service Act, the defendant is Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, but since President Moon approved the disciplinary bill, it is evaluated that the plaintiff in the lawsuit is the incumbent attorney general and the actual defendant is the incumbent President. With the results of the suspension coming out as early as next week, one of President Moon and President Yoon is expected to suffer a significant blow.
The passport pressed for voluntary resignation, saying, “If Yun filed a lawsuit, he declared war with the president.” In an interview with MBC Radio, former senior secretary for government administration Kang Ki-jeong warned that “(President Yoon) should not forget that if you file an administrative lawsuit related to this disciplinary action or request for suspension of execution, you will have a fight with the president.” “It is nationally embarrassing to see the President and the incumbent president confronting in court,” said Kim Jong-in, chairman of the Emergency Response Committee. An official at the Blue House said, “The defendant is not the president,” and said, “There is no need for the Blue House to stand there.” Seongho Hwang [email protected]Go to reporter page>Reporter Choi Hye-ryeong
