The main subject of the request to suspend the execution of the ‘two-month suspension’ issued by Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol, on the surface, is the same as the last suspension time.

Is there any serious harm to President Yun, if it needs to be urgently prevented and if there is a risk of having a significant impact on public welfare?

President Yoon is struggling to attend, but there is a high possibility that only special lawyers will appear this time, as there will be no ordinary parties involved in the moratorium questioning, which focuses on legal defense.

The court raised the hand of President Yun in the previous ruling on the suspension of the suspension of functions.

In particular, he pointed out that the suspension of functions is practically the same as dismissal, and that he ignores the purpose of the Law of the Prosecutor’s Office, which guarantees a mandate system for the president due to his independence and neutrality.

But this time there are some other variables.

First, given that President Yoon’s term lasts for about seven months, the question is whether two months of honesty can be considered an “irreparable loss.”

Yoon argues that the investigation of major cases like the Wolseong Nuclear Power Plant could be seriously disrupted, and disciplinary action should be stopped urgently as the investigation team could break down mid-air on the prosecution staff next month.

On the other hand, the Ministry of Justice faces that the former presidents have also been suspended for several months due to a resolution to impeach the National Assembly.

In addition, the previous suspension of functions was a voluntary provision by Minister Chu, but this time, the fact that the president, who is responsible for personnel, directly reapproved makes it difficult to predict the conclusion.

[장윤미 / 변호사 : 본안소송에서 이 부분은 사실 궁극적으로 결정을 받아야 하는 부분이기도 하고, 이런 임시적 단계에서 바로 대통령이 재가까지 한 징계를 법원이 배척하기는 다소 어렵지 않겠느냐는 (생각이 듭니다.)]

The court is expected to proceed with an interrogation today (22) and reveal its conclusion tomorrow or the day after tomorrow (24).

This case is much more complex and delicate than the last time work was suspended, in the sense that it was two months of suspension, not dismissal, and even the presidential residence.

For this reason, the court is expected to consider not only the requirements for stay of execution, but also the grounds and procedures for disciplinary action against President Yun, and the discretion of the disciplinary authority.
