Former FIFA honorary Vice President Dr. Chung Mong-joon has announced that he will run for the FIFA presidency with an aim to reform the troubled organization in the wake of Sepp Blatter‘s resignation in June.

“The real reason FIFA has become such a corrupt organization is because the same person and his cronies have been running it for years. Absolute power corrupts absolutely,” said Chung in a news conference in Paris on Monday. “It has pained me to witness the spectacle of the FIFA president being booed by the fans at football stadiums everywhere.”

Chung described Blatter as “like a cannibal eating his parents and then crying like he’s an orphan” for trying to avoid responsibility for the crisis that has engulfed FIFA over the last few months. He also criticized the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) for endorsing UEFA president Michel Platini, the current favorite to win the election. Chung believes Platini isn’t the right person to usher in a new era of football.

FIFA’s Ethics Committee is now investigating Chung for the $500,000 charitable donations he sent to Haiti and $400,000 to Pakistan the same year. Chung brushed off the investigation as “cynical and unethical” and said he’d been donating money to causes at home and abroad since the 1990s.
