The Blue House expresses regret over Yoo Si-min's remarks... legal action undecided
Amid the controversy over prosecution reform, the Blue House has expressed regret over criticism from Yoo Si-min. Take a quick look at the facts and the political repercussions.
The Blue House expressed regret on the 24th over Yoo Simin's remark that President Lee Jaemyung “deceived the public” regarding his comments on prosecutorial reform, calling it an unfounded, accusatory claim.
The Blue House said it was concerned that the president's resolve for prosecutorial reform was being distorted contrary to the facts, and stated that it is verifying the relevant facts. However, it drew a line by saying that no decision has yet been made regarding legal action, which some have raised.
This controversy arose after President Lee explained at a press conference on the 18th that the separation of investigation and indictment is the core of prosecutorial reform, and Yoo claimed in a YouTube video on the 22nd that this differed from the president's position as known to the public as a campaign pledge. As the conflict between the Blue House and Yoo continues, there is speculation that the political burden within the ruling camp could also grow.
