Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol said in a lecture at the People’s Power first-election parliamentary study group on the 2nd, “Personally, it is unfortunate and a path to disgrace.” Then, on that day, inside and outside the power of the people, concerns arose that “Isn’t the unrefined remarks of former President Yoon, a novice in politics, at the level of an oral hazard?”
In a recent media interview, former president Yoon borrowed the book ‘Freedom to Choose’ by economist Milton Friedman to a question about junk food, saying, “Eating will make you sick and die, but those who don’t have (money) can choose below, eat cheaper. It should be allowed,” he said later became controversial. Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-myung, a presidential candidate for the Democratic Party of Korea, also criticized Yoon, saying, “Is it fair that Yoon emphasizes that the basic rights of the people, such as health, hygiene, safety, and life, can be applied differentially according to the rich and poor?”
In particular, former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, a runner-up in the People’s Power presidential election, said, “If there is an accident that the poor people should not be allowed to buy and eat unclean food, does that mean that all regulations related to health and safety should be eliminated?” .
The remarks of former President Yoon, “I think that feminism should also be ‘healthy feminism’, should not be used to favor the election and to extend the reign of power,” said in the first election lecture that day ” came up on the board as a rebuttal appeared. While pointing to the cause of the low birth rate, former President Yoon said, “There is a saying that “feminism is too politically abused and plays a role in emotionally preventing healthy relationships between men and women” as well. ” was also pointed out. The Justice Party criticized that day, saying, “We do not want the feminism Yoon Seok-yeol allowed.” Earlier, there was also controversy over the remarks of former President Yoon, ‘(Corona 19-related) riots’, ‘(Remarks about the blockade of Daegu) sound immature,’ and ‘Daegu is the Moscow of Korea’. An official from the People’s Power said, “As he is the number one player in the opposition, checks inside and outside the party are inevitably concentrated, so it is necessary for former President Yoon to prevent unnecessary power loss with an organized message.” Reporter Jangseok jks@donga.com
