[정치]Democratic Party “Amnesty, reflection on the parties is important … respect the will of the militants and the people”

[앵커]

Regarding the amnesty of Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, the two former presidents, together with the leadership of the Democratic Party, said that the reflection of the parties is important and that they will follow the will of the militants and the people.

After CEO Nak-Yeon Lee’s comments, there was a strong reaction at the party, but in the end, it seems that he has taken a step back.

On the last day of the holiday, the leaders of the Democratic Party, including the Supreme Council, met urgently.

It is about discussing the amnesty proposal for former presidents mentioned by President Nak-yeon Lee on New Year’s Day.

After an hour and a half of discussion, the leadership reached the point that the reflection of the parties was important.

He also emphasized that he would respect the will of the people and party members and promote reform and integration together under the spirit of candles.

[최인호 / 더불어민주당 수석대변인 : (정식으로 사면을 건의하는 행보는 아직 안 하겠다는 것으로 받아들이면 되나요?) 그 부분은 당원들과 국민의 뜻을 잘 경청하면서 판단해나갈 것입니다.]

After the declarations of the amnesty proposal, it seems that the reaction between the so-called pro-ammunition legislators in the party and the central supporters has receded.

Representative Lee Nak-yeon also explained that his comments stem from loyalty to national unity.

[이낙연 / 더불어민주당 대표 : 국민 통합을 이루는 정치로 발전해가야 한다고 믿습니다. 그러한 저의 충정을 말씀드린 것입니다. 일단 대법원의 판결을 기다려 보겠습니다.]

Gyeonggi Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myung delayed his post while the Democratic Party held an internal debate on amnesty.

That’s why it puts a burden on the president who has the right to forgiveness to reveal himself.

An official from this branch said there is no change in the basic direction of ‘first liquidation, later integration’,

He explained that the right to amnesty, which is the authority of the president, should not extend to conflict within the party, and that it means respecting the consensus of the people and the decision of the president.

In response to the Democratic Party’s position that party reflection is important, he criticized the power of the people, saying that it should not play with forgiveness.

Ho-young Joo pointed out in a media call that there is no point in claiming innocence and reflecting on someone who is being tried politically.

In addition, he insisted that he would not be eligible to be a party representative if he failed to organize the party.

Representative Lee Nak-yeon’s proposal to pardon the former presidents was prompted by public opinion within the party.

However, if former President Park Geun-hye’s sentence is upheld in the Supreme Court on the 14th, it will be noted whether the amnesty issue will come up again as a policy issue.
