To sum up the actions of President Moon Jae-in and Democratic Party Representative Lee Nak-yeon earlier this year, it is a preview of the end of reform.
Representative Lee announced that he would propose an amnesty to President Moon on the first day of the new year, and said he had no prior relationship with President Moon. However, Kim Jong-in, president of the Popular Force Emergency Response Committee, estimated on the 4th that “I think there was a good relationship with the Blue House beforehand.” This is common sense reasoning that the right to amnesty is the presidential authority, and that it would have been discussed with the president, but it also means that the Blue House and the Democratic Party have taken similar steps recently.
In contrast to President Kim Jong-in’s apology for the crimes of the two former presidents last month, Lee’s suggestion of pardon seems to go against the trend of the time. The director of the Yeouido Research Institute, Ji-wook Ji, said in the Seoul newspaper on December 17 last year that “President Kim’s innovation is to bring back the ‘house rabbit,'” said Kim’s apology who opened the way to rebuild and expand the party. Director Ji heard the data based on the defeat of popular power in the recent elections.
Furthermore, Lee’s suggestion of forgiveness is difficult to understand, despite the fact that he finds himself in a situation where he has been asked to resign since the beginning of the year from inside and outside the party.
However, it can be interpreted by looking at the background on which the amnesty claim was made rather than whether or not one should have a prior relationship with President Moon. Rep. Lee suggested forgiveness and cited “national integration” as the reason. Democratic Party lawmaker Seol-hun said on CBS news program ‘Kim Hyun-jung’ on the 4th, “It focuses on integration” and “I have to watch the situation calmly while party members are angry.” . did.
This means that amnesty is not the purpose, but the focus is on national integration. In his New Year’s speech, CEO Lee emphasized national integration, saying: “I will alleviate social conflicts and achieve national integration.”
The words omitted here can be interpreted as “I am going to stop the reform.” Indeed, the reforms are accompanied by resistance from existing vested interests and politically the opposition party is facing an offensive.
“At the end of the regime, the reform engine will be low, so the reforms must be promoted from the beginning.” In fact, early in the last year of the regime, the ruling party’s arrows turned to the right.
This is clear at the end of the year, when the high-ranking Airborne Criminal Investigation (KAI) law was passed and the corporate punishment law for severe disasters was crushed. In his New Years speech, CEO Lee also said, “I will save people’s lives by taking an active role in finance” and “I will help businesses and take a new leap forward in the economy.” It seems that the labor and business world remained in the National Assembly on the Severe Disaster Law, and the business world openly raised its hand. The clemency proposal itself is also controversial, but it is even more critical that the representative of the ruling party, which is well above the majority, sent a signal that the reform power will be removed.
As Lee argued, even if there was no relationship with President Moon on clemency, Lee and the Blue House ‘U-Click’ movement appeared to be similar to what was promised. It appears in the first steps of President Moon in the new year and the reshuffle at the end of the year.
On the first day of the new year, President Moon verified his military readiness and made a command flight, and Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok mentioned “strong security.” The visit of politicians to the military is an official program to attract the media and conservatives. I could not see the president in solidarity with the medical staff suffering from corona or with those who fight on the streets in the cold winter, and it is a clear difference from the appearance of the warm president who started the first New Years program with the righteous. social during the last three years.
The reorganization is also a signal that indicates the direction of the government administration of the new year.
Kim Jin-wook, a former lead investigator for the Constitutional Court, who was nominated as a candidate for Minister of Public Transportation at the end of the year, and Shin Hyun-soo, a senior from the Blue House, are both former lawyers, Kim & Chang, Korea’s largest law firm. He is a figure with criticisms like ‘Can’t you escape the influence of Kim & Chang?’ And ‘The current government cannot break the bond of political law.’ In particular, lawyer Shin Hyun-soo is a senior civil prosecutor who is also the current stance of the current government.
The executive director of the secretary openly reveals this atmosphere of the current government. The new president Yoo Young-min, who was appointed at the end of the year, is a former executive vice president of LG CNS. It is related to the words of CEO Nak-yeon Lee’s New Year’s speech: “I will help companies and take a new leap forward in the economy.”
The background to the end of the reform can be easily estimated. This is the reason why government prosecution confusion and social fatigue grew in the prosecution reform process, symbolizing the approval of amendments to Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol and the passage of amendments to the Air Transportation Law. , as commented by many media and celebrities.
However, it is necessary to express the position of the president and the representatives of the ruling party, if the reform of the prosecution was the top priority of the citizens of the candlelight, if other requests for reform driven by the reform can be ignored of the prosecution, if the meaning of the overwhelming victory of the ruling party during the candlelight and the last general elections is what it is now. .
