Former Justice Minister Cho Kuk reaffirmed his intention to run in next year’s general election on the 4th.
When asked about his intention to run for office at the ‘Dike’s Tears’ book concert held at the Kimdaejung Convention Center in Gwangju on this day, former Minister Cho said, “I don’t know what it is, but I have the intention to lift at least one stone.”
He said, “In fact, I have thought of being a scholar as my calling all my life, and I was planning to return to being a scholar while serving as the civil affairs secretary, but after the 2019 incident, my path to returning to being a scholar was blocked. It is sad, but I am facing the fact that my role as a scholar is over.”
He continued, “Publishing a book and making strong claims is not simply an expression of anger about the ordeal my family has suffered since 2019,” and added, “I believe that the ‘new prosecutorial dictatorship system’ following the new military government must end and the falling economy of the people must be saved.” “He emphasized.
He said, “In the past, I lived a life of executing and pursuing plans according to plans, but after 2019, I realized that I could not do as I wanted.”
He also mentioned his own criminal trial, which is currently underway. He said, “I want to run too, but being on trial means my feet are shackled. I think I’m almost at the end of the tunnel now, but I haven’t come out yet, but please wait.”
Regarding the Democratic Party of Korea, he expressed his affection, saying, “It is the headquarters and aircraft carrier of the progressive camp,” and “The essence of politics that achieves democratization and advancement in our country is the Democratic Party. That has not changed, and I have respect for the efforts made.” .
