Minister of Employment and Labor Kim Moon-soo criticized the high-ranking government official's attempt to enforce an arrest warrant against President Yoon Suk Yeol, saying that basic courtesy should be given to the incumbent president of the Republic of Korea.
Minister Kim said, "The presumption of innocence is a principle before a final ruling under the Constitution of the Republic of Korea, but I think it's too much to see that President Yoon, who has not been indicted at all, is being treated as a sinner."
It also raises many questions about court-issued arrest warrants in terms of whether they are legitimate warrants, he said, noting that issuing warrants in a harsher and more severe manner compared to ordinary people is problematic.
In addition, he added that he couldn't understand what the prime minister did wrong to impeach Prime Minister Han Deok-soo in the National Assembly.
As for Acting President Choi Sang-mok, he pointed out that unlike the president and the prime minister, the acting president has a slight horizontal relationship with other members of the State Council, so it is expected to be smooth to discuss and deal with important matters such as the appointment of constitutional judges as much as possible.
