[사회]Mi-ae Chu, voice of death … the role of prosecution reform? Take Yoon Seok-yeol? Mixed evaluation

[앵커]

Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, who expressed his appreciation along with President Yoon Seok-yeol’s request for disciplinary action, is expected to serve until a successor is decided.

While there are some criticisms that he played a role in prosecuting reform during his tenure for nearly a year, there are also some criticisms that the burden of government was raised by “printing President Yoon Seok-yeol.”

Reporter Jun Hyung Jeon reports.

[기자] [추미애 / 법무부 장관 : 검찰개혁의 성공적 완수를 위해서는 검찰의 안과 밖에서 개혁을 향한 결단과 호응이 병행되는 줄탁동시가 이뤄져야 할 것입니다.]

In his inauguration speech it was Minister Chu Mi-ae, who emphasized the voluntary participation of the prosecutors in the reform, but from the first salute of the prosecutor, he changed the rod of the great swordsman to announce the war with President Yoon Seok -yeol.

He tried to pull the so-called special prosecutors out of pain from their key positions, but criticism of the prosecution line was slammed and the sound of breaking up with President Yoon continued.

[정점식 / 자유한국당 의원 : (검찰총장 의견을) 전혀 듣지도 않은 채 인사를 강행했습니다. 검찰청법 34조를 위반한 인사라는 거죠.] [추미애 / 법무부 장관 : 제가 위반한 것이 아니고요. 검찰총장이 저의 명을 거역한 것입니다.]

Minister Chu has always been at the center of the issue, invoking the minister’s power to lead the investigation on several occasions, which had been the only time in the history of the constitution.

However, the suspicion of ‘word-on-union’, which triggered the first command, was not confirmed, and it faced headwinds due to unreasonable investigations such as ‘battle of the armed forces of the swordsmen’.

However, Minister Chu ordered a thorough inspection of the prosecution’s special activities expenditures and the investigations of Lime and Optimus, eventually accepting the result of the unprecedented discipline of the acting president.

[추미애 / 법무부 장관 : 오늘 저는 매우 무거운 심정으로 검찰총장에 대한 징계 청구 및 직무배제 조치를 국민께 보고드리지 않을 수가 없게 되었습니다.]

Meanwhile, the launch of an investigative bureau of high-ranking public officials to verify the power of the prosecution became visible, and a law to adjust the investigative power to reduce the direct investigation of the prosecution is also ahead of the execution.

This is in line with the emphasis Minister Chu emphasized that the prosecution must separate from the prosecution throughout its term and be reborn as a dedicated prosecution agency.

[추미애 / 법무부 장관 : (검찰은) 범죄자를 소추하는 공소기관으로 확고히 자리매김하고, 수사권이 남용되거나 인권침해가 발생하지 않도록….]

Some say he played a role in the reform of the prosecution by such a measure, but it is also not easy to criticize that he raised the burden on the government while creating a confrontational phase.

It is also the reason why there are voices that the two should resign together early, even in the passport, as Yoon emerged as a strong opposition presidential candidate after clashing with Minister Chu.

Minister Chu took a vacation after his speech, but is expected to continue working for now until the profile of his successor is revealed.

Within the indictment, Minister Chu Mi-ae has summed up saying that a politician covered the accusation.

Whether it was a reform to disperse excessive prosecutorial power, or simply an impression of President Yoon, overwhelmed by the passport, public opinion is sharply mixed according to political orientation.
