He also criticized the bill to introduce a special prosecutor for Kim Gun-Hee, saying, "It has been resubmitted with more problematic clauses. The public must be tired of it."
Former President Moon Jae-in and former Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung are the Democratic Party's top leaders, including Yoon Seo-gyul.
Regarding his remarks about South Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol as a "president who is not prepared," he countered by saying, "Shouldn't the previous administration itself be looking back on itself?"
A presidential office official told reporters at the Presidential Office in Yongsan on the same day that the special prosecution bill for Corporal Choi would be decided based on the results of the police investigation and hearings.
"It has become clear through the hearings that there is no basis for external pressure. If the special counsel bill is proposed again, the public will become weary," he said.
The Public Prosecutors' Office is effectively acting as an independent prosecutor, but the Office of the Public Prosecutors' Office has not even summoned Defense Minister Lee Jong-seop."
The proposed special counsel bill requires that if the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court recommends four people, the Democratic Party will not cooperate with the Democratic Party.
The negotiating body would select two, and the president would appoint one of them. If the nominee for Chief Justice is deemed inappropriate, the opposition party would have the power to veto the nomination and demand that it be re-nominated.
Regarding the bill on the special investigation into Kim Jong Un's wife, the official said, "This means they are introducing an even worse bill again," but added, "We will have to see how things go in the National Assembly."
Meanwhile, the presidential office also previously said that the Moon Jae-in administration had received criticism for "economic collapse through income-led growth, diplomatic collapse, destruction of the nuclear power plant ecosystem, and fiscal collapse."
"It seems like we have to reminisce again," he said. The day before, Lee paid a courtesy visit to former President Moon and held a meeting for about 40 minutes at his private residence in Yangsan. During the meeting, the two men said, "We were not prepared.
"The incompetent president is in power, causing chaos in the country and increasing public anxiety and worry," he said. "The prosecutorial reform has not gone well, and prosecutorial power and prosecutorial investigations have become weapons and a means of political retaliation.
The reality is deplorable," he said.
