Daegu Mayor Hong Jun-pyo Criticizes Politically Aligned Prosecutors Ahead of April 10 General Election

The day before the April 10 general election, Daegu Mayor Hong Jun-pyo, a former prosecutor, strongly criticized the investigative practices of some politically aligned prosecutors and their advance in Yeouido, saying: “I get angry when I see prosecutors like this days.”

Mayor Hong Joon-pyo said on social media: “Prosecutors are taking sides in the political world, conducting investigations based on what the world thinks, and the ‘salty situation’ such prosecutors enter into in Yeouido is confusing and disturbing the world.” He added: “When I look at prosecutors these days, I feel angry.” “I’m getting angry,” he said.

Mayor Hong criticized the prosecutors, saying, “They are the only ones who don’t know that they got such an important job so cheaply and have become despised by the investigating police,” and “such prosecutors have already lost their value as prosecutors.”

He said: “I always think that the last prosecutors who didn’t give up power and kept their pride were Ham Seung-hee and Hong Joon-pyo. They should have ended their lives as prosecutors like that, but after having been excluded from prosecution under the pretext of an internal investigation, they had to avoid the threats of the gangsters.” “I threw myself into politics, but Korean politics was a battle of factions,” he said.

Mayor Hong said: “These days I feel ashamed and unfair to be lumped together with people who are former prosecutors, and I think I lived like a fool. I had a scientific background and wanted to go to medical school, but I went to law school a month before the main exam, but sometimes I wonder if I made the wrong choice: “There are times when I regret it,” he added.

With the 4.10 general election just one day away, Mayor Hong’s appointment comes in light of the fact that the ruling party, the People Power Party, is led by emergency committee chairman Han Dong-hoon, a former prosecutor, and that in the 4.10 general election Among the party’s candidates are several former prosecutors who are close associates of President Yoon Seok-yeol, which is creating subtle ripple effects.

In a previously published article, Mayor Hong Joon-pyo directly criticized Emergency Committee Chairman Han Dong-hoon for playing with the presidency by taking selfies, giving rise to interpretations that he was trying to keep tabs on his neighbor presidential rival.
