People’s Power Kim Jong-in apologized for the arrest of Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, saying, “The fault of the president is the ruling party.”

You do? You do not? Kim Jong-in, chairman of the Emergency Response Committee, finally made a controversial apology within the power of the people.

Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Power Emergency Response Committee, held a press conference on the morning of the 15th and said: “The fault of the president is also the fault of the ruling party. At the time, our party apologized to the people and said: “As the ruling party in power, we do not fulfill those responsibilities.” This is the people’s power’s first official apology regarding the arrest of former President Lee Myung-bak and former President Park Geun-hye.

President Kim said: “On December 9, 2016, the National Assembly passed an impeachment bill against former President Park Geun-hye. Four years later, two former presidents are under arrest at the same time, “he said.” I stood here to offer a sincere apology to people on this matter. “

Then President Kim said: “I could not adequately support the aspirations of the supporters to support the president well.” Rather, I was stuck in the seat and had no ears to hear the voices of the story. Above all, they could not unite and divide. For the first time in the history of the constitution, the president was indicted and retired ”.

Finally, President Kim said, “This little word of apology cannot resolve the old core of people’s hearts, but I sincerely bow my head once more. We have committed a great sin before this history and the people. I apologize “.

The following is the full text of Kim Jong-in’s apology.

Korean colleagues, on December 9, 2016, the National Assembly passed an impeachment bill against former President Park Geun-hye. Four years later, two former presidents of the Republic of Korea are detained at the same time. I am here today to express my sincere apologies to the people on this matter.

The political party that produced the President is entrusted with the responsibility and duty of joint management to run the country well. The fault of the president is also the ruling party. Our party, as the ruling party at that time, did not fulfill its responsibilities and there was a great fault in not finding and controlling the problems of the ruling power beforehand. Despite supporters’ aspirations to serve the president well, they did not respond adequately. Rather, they were brave, they did not listen to the voices of history, and most of all, they did not unite and divide. For the first time in the history of the constitution, the president was impeached and removed, and he deserved to be self-sufficient in the attitude of neighborhood and neighborhood, fearing the people like heaven, but he also lacked the attitude of reflection and reflection.

I bow my head and apologize for the great disappointment that people would have felt that way. Also, we had to create an opportunity for our politics to mature through impeachment, but we deeply apologize because we feel responsible for the current political situation where democracy and the rule of law are regressing.

The mistakes of the two former presidents are heavily overshadowed by the collusion between politics and the government. There are things that have obtained unreasonable benefits by colluding with a specific company or that have been convenient in the managerial succession process. Some individuals who were not assigned public office responsibilities intervened in state affairs, disrupted law and order, and seriously reduced their power. The promise with the people has been abandoned.

We must prevent this from happening again in our history. We will be reborn through personal renewal and renewal to rebuild the political party from its roots as we fiercely reflect on the accumulated failures and transgressions. Looking back in history, all the presidents of the constitutional government have suffered unfortunate things. None of the Korean presidents have come to a complete conclusion, such as being expelled to foreign countries, being shot, tied to convoys, appearing in court, queuing in jail for relatives of relatives, or making extreme decisions. And now, two former presidents are in English. It is a terrible and shameful thing at the national level. We will take this opportunity today to reflect on and apologize for all of these historic processes, and we will not neglect our efforts in seeking the direction of fundamental innovation in our policy.

Throughout the last elections, the townspeople have given our party a strict judgment. We will humbly support and reflect on the will of the people. Furthermore, with the resolve that democracy will unite if the two main pillars of party politics fall, we will strive to generate hope with the power of the people. We will think more seriously about people’s livelihoods and economics and prepare.

These little words of apology will not be able to ease the old core of people’s hearts, but once again, I sincerely bow my head. We have committed a great sin before this history and the people. I apologize
