Ko Kyung, Vice Minister of Justice, who was supposed to be the chairman of the Disciplinary Actions Committee (Disciplinary Committee), which discusses the disciplinary action of Attorney General Yun Seok-yul on behalf of Secretary of Justice Ju Mi-e, objects to President Yun’s disciplinary action. And he submitted a resignation. It was reported that he proposed to withdraw the disciplinary action from President Yun, but it was not accepted and announced his resignation on November 30. Due to the resignation of Vice Minister Ko, the disciplinary commission scheduled for the 2nd was postponed to the 4th. As Secretary of State Chu, he fell into an isolated and unsupported state due to opposition from Cho Nam-gwan, the deputy director of the Supreme Prosecutor, who was the head of the prosecution, and Ko, who is the main counselor. However, Secretary Chu is expected to enforce President Yun’s disciplinary procedure after carrying out the subsequent appointment of the deputy secretary.
■ The “President Yun Disciplinary Committee” on the 2nd was postponed due to the resignation of the Vice Minister of Justice
The chairman of the Disciplinary Committee of the Ministry of Justice is the Secretary of Justice, but in this case, since Secretary Chu is the party that requested the disciplinary action from President Yun, Secretary Chu is removed from the committee and cannot chair the meeting. . Along with that, Vice Minister Ko was scheduled to take over as chairman of the disciplinary committee on behalf of Secretary Chu and proceed with the meeting. However, Vice Minister Ko resigned, making it difficult to hold a disciplinary committee on the 2nd. It is possible that Mr. Chu will appoint another member of the disciplinary committee to chair the disciplinary committee, but in a situation where he is opposed to number 2 of the Ministry of Justice, Mr. Chu will hand over the presidency that way. Enforcing discipline is politically onerous. However, the Ministry of Justice announced this day that it plans to carry out on time the replacement of the Deputy Minister of Justice who resigned. After appointing a successor, he expressed his intention to form a disciplinary committee.
Sim Jae-chul, director of the Attorney General’s Office for the Department of Justice, which virtually automatically joins the Disciplinary Commission, has also been hampered by the dismissal debate. The disciplinary committee is made up of four members of the prosecutor’s office (the secretary, the deputy secretary, and two prosecutors appointed by the secretary) and three external members (a lawyer commissioned by the secretary, a law professor, and an academic expert). It is open to the public. Of these, the disciplinary committee assigned to the incumbent prosecutor designated by the Secretary is usually in charge of the Chief of the Prosecutor’s Office of the Legal Department and the Prosecutor of the Supreme Prosecutor’s Office. It is the party that internally accused the “Document of Analysis of Political Trends of the Court.” Therefore, it has been argued that Director Sim should be removed from President Yun’s disciplinary committee. On November 30, Yun requested the Legal Department to release the list of members of the Disciplinary Commission to file a petition against Director Sim.
The preliminary members (three prosecutors) appointed by the Secretary may be present in the event of non-participation of the members of the disciplinary committee. Even if the Deputy Minister of Justice and the Chief of the Prosecutor’s Office leave the Disciplinary Commission, they can take their place. However, the unfairness of Yun’s request for disciplinary action is evident through the decision of the Inspection Committee of the Department of Justice and the court’s decision to suspend the execution of duties by President Yun. It does not seem easy to vote for strong discipline. If the situation cannot be aggravated by massive opposition from the prosecution and the result of President Yun’s disciplinary action cannot be achieved, Secretary Chu’s theory of liability will have to become even more severe.
■ Ongoing interviews with Secretary Chu, the president and the prime minister … “There was no discussion about the resignation.”
After meeting with Prime Minister Jung Se-gyun this morning, Joo, who was in a difficult situation, visited the presidential office and met with President Mun Jae-in. According to the testimony of a ruling party official, the meeting with the president was requested by Secretary Chu based on the “status report.” As soon as Ko objected to the convening of the disciplinary committee and resigned, Chu said that he would “change the vice minister and overcome the situation” and tried to persuade the presidential office.
I don’t know of President Moon’s reaction after receiving Secretary Chu’s status report, but it is clear that the presidential office is confused. The imminent situation of even emerging “the theory of simultaneous resignation (both the Secretary of Justice and the President of the Prosecutor’s Office)”, but that does not mean that the situation in which Secretary Chu retires after being isolated alone cannot be left unattended. A senior official from the presidential office also emphasized, “We had a 10-minute meeting with the president, but we did not discuss the simultaneous resignation of Secretary Chu and Prosecutor Yun Seok-yul in that seat.” “If the disciplinary action against President Yun fails, we believe that the prosecution reform can mark a milestone. This week will be the final battleground for prosecution reform,” said a Cheong Wa Dae official.
However, it is difficult to fully support Secretary Chu. As the number of high-ranking prosecutors is shifting away from the Vice Minister of Justice, who must have a poisonous cup called “President Yun’s discipline,” it is effective to hire outside staff. Even if the Disciplinary Commission is held on the 4th, it is unclear whether President Yun’s disciplinary action will be successful. A ruling party official said: “The reason the disciplinary committee was postponed on the 2nd was that outside members may not be able to participate and it is not possible to meet the fixed number of proposals. I heard that there is no prosecutor who I can trust (President Yun’s disciplinary vote). “
Before the meeting between President Moon and Secretary Chu, Prime Minister Chung also had a separate meeting with Secretary Chu. An official from the Prime Minister’s Office said, “Since the theory of simultaneous resignation has already been reported, Prime Minister Chung called Secretary Chu and met without assistants with the intention of meeting in person and talking.” I did not mention it directly, but I think I could convey my intention just by looking into the eyes. “However, Secretary Chu said today:” We will also report the situation to the prime minister and inform him that during the report to the president and the meeting With the prime minister, there was no discussion about the resignation as reported in some articles. I repeatedly confirmed that I had no intention of resigning.
