Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol emphasized that the request for stay of execution and cancellation of the provision by the two-month disciplinary provision was a lawsuit against damage to the constitution and the rule of law. Regarding the confrontational structure of a lawsuit against President Moon Jae-in, who finally approved the discipline, he said: “The lawsuit against President Moon is correct” and “We respond in accordance with the procedures established by the Constitution and the laws “.

“We plan to file suit in the Seoul Administrative Court today,” said Lee Wan-gyu, a special counsel for Yoon’s side.

Lee stressed that the two-month suspension is “irreparable damage.” He said: “The investigation is different between what the president is and what he is not. There is a major investigation underway, and there may be a major new investigation,” he said. “It depends on who the president is. The two-month gap is big, but how will they get it back?”

“Generally, in the case of public officials, damages that are difficult to recover can be canceled and the salary paid if they win, but this case is to suspend the position of attorney general.” “Is it possible to recover if a monthly suspension gives me two months of salary?” It is explained that a two-month disciplinary action against the attorney general is irreparable.

He highlighted the importance of President Yoon’s role in adjusting investigative powers that will take place in January. “We need to take steps to improve the system in relation to adjusting investigative power,” Lee said. “There is something Yoon has been preparing for so far, but isn’t it correct to address it consistently?”

With this in mind, President Yoon appears to argue that there was no reason for disciplinary action and that there was a procedural violation in the disposition process. Regarding the decision of the disciplinary committee that was released on the day, the lawyer said: “Is it an obstacle because the president was in command in relation to the Channel A case, but was disturbed by the main office?” “There is.”

Additionally, the Democratic Party voiced its position that it was “responding to damage to the constitution and the rule of law” against pressure for voluntary resignation, rather than a lawsuit, saying that Yoon was trying to confront President Moon. “Since it is a lawsuit against President Moon’s disposition, the lawsuit against President Moon is correct,” Lee said.
