Former Justice Minister Cho Kuk said on the 4th about running for next year’s general election, “I have the mindset to lift at least one stone.” Former Minister Cho was asked a related question at the publication ceremony held at the Kim Dae-jung Convention Center in Gwangju Metropolitan City on this day and said, “I think the current dictatorship of the New Prosecutors’ Office must end and the falling economy of the people must be saved.” .
Former Minister Cho was sentenced to two years in prison in the first trial last February on charges of corruption in his children’s entrance exams. Seoul National University dismissed former Minister Cho from his position as a professor at Seoul National University last June. In relation to this, former Minister Cho said, “I actually thought of being a scholar as my calling all my life,” and added, “I decided to return to being a scholar even after working as Senior Secretary for Civil Affairs, but as you know, after the 2019 incident, the way for me to return to being a scholar has been blocked.” “It’s done,” he said.
Former Minister Cho said, “It’s sad, but I think my role as a scholar is over. “I am facing that,” he said. “I am publishing a book and making strong claims through it, but I don’t think it is just to express my anger about the ordeal I and my family have suffered since the incident in 2019.”
He said, “I won’t say there is no anger. “Because I am also human,” he said. “But that is not why I am publishing a book or being in this position.” Former Minister Cho then mentioned ‘ending the dictatorship of the Ministry of Public Prosecution and Public Prosecution’. “For that, I don’t know what it is, but I feel like I have to lift at least one stone.”
Regarding next year’s general election, former Minister Cho mentioned Basic Income Party lawmaker Yong Hye-in and the late Roh Hoe-chan, and said, “Centered on the Democratic Party, people like Yong Hye-in and the late Roh Hoe-chan will work together like academics to secure parliamentary power in this general election and administrative power in the next presidential election. He also said, “I hope he comes to power.”
