Presidential and general election promises are withdrawn … Nak-yeon Lee declared “Establishment of Jeonnam Medical School”
Lee Soo-jin “What to do in politics when the lives of citizens are threatened as hostages”
Woo Won-sik “Will democracy hold for these people?”
Justice Party “Sovereign National Agenda for Selfish Group Action by Doctors”
As the government and ruling party stepped back from expanding medical school grounds and establishing public medical schools on the 4th, the extreme confrontation with medical groups has entered a phase of test.
As for the decision to re-discuss the political discussion on public health, the Democratic Party believes that it was inevitable amid growing fears of the second pandemic of the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), but there are protests from within and outside of the party that has actually succumbed to the medical field. Aftershocks continue.
The Democratic Party and the Korean Medical Association (Medical Association) held this morning a signing ceremony of a political agreement consisting of a five-point agreement in the Democratic Party in Yeouido. The main objective of the agreement is to stop discussing the expansion of medical school gardens and the establishment of public medical schools until Corona 19 stabilizes, and to form an advisory body and discuss it again at the origin. It was decided not to go ahead with the legislation while discussions were ongoing.
Under the agreement, the College of Physicians also withdrew from the group leave, which began on the 21st of last month, and returned to the medical field after 15 days. The Democratic Party and the Medical Association have been negotiating a marathon since President Han Han-ae met with the Medical Association and the Korea Major League Baseball Association (Daejeon Association) on Day 1.
The Democratic Party also expressed its policy of proactively solving the problems of principals and full-time accused of refusing the order to start business through consultation with the government, reaching out to the medical community. At the signing ceremony, Nak-Yeon Lee said, “I will try to solve the problem of the elder’s accusation in the best way.” This change in position was just 44 days after the announcement of the expansion of the medical school grounds and the establishment of a public medical school in the July party political consultation. It is interpreted that the background of the de facto withdrawal of the government and ruling party was due to the realistic reason that to catch the two rabbits of the economy and quarantine it was impossible to continue the confrontation with the group of doctors.
Reaching out to the medical community to improve the quarantine posture is said to be inevitable, but concerns have been raised both within and outside the party that public medical policy, which is a national task that is pursued with emphasis on itself, it will be completely withdrawn.
At the signing ceremony, the president of the Choi Medical Association, Choi said: “Although there is no withdrawal of the policy, I believe that ‘consideration at origin after withdrawal’ and ‘review at origin after interruption’ have the same meaning, so I think it’s a relatively well done deal. ” It means that the government policy related to public health has been withdrawn, which actually reads like a declaration of victory.
The problem is that the expansion of medical personnel and the strengthening of public health care were both the promise of a presidential election for President Moon Jae-in and the promise of a general election for the Democratic Party. At the time of the 2017 presidential elections, the Moon Jae-in camp proposed ‘the preparation of measures to secure human resources in vulnerable areas and public medical institutions’, and in the 21 general elections, the Democratic Party promoted ‘securing essential public area medical personnel by expanding medical school grounds’ and ‘expanding the capacity of medical schools’. I did it as a promise.
In particular, Honam, which is the basis of the absolute support of the ruling party, is a medically vulnerable representative area. In the case of Jeollanam-do, the southwestern region centered on Mokpo and the south-eastern region centered on Suncheon have played a key role in attracting public medical schools. Jeonbuk-do, where Seonam University was closed, is a focus project.
Representative Lee Nak-yeon also visited Jeonnam on the 7th of last month during the party’s presidential election and said, “Jeonnam has a large area and many medically vulnerable areas, so it is necessary to allocate more than 100 medical schools and establish hospitals. college and conference campuses in both the East and West. ” I have said it.
Even if the conversation continues after Corona 19 enters a stable phase, the confrontation between the medical community and the ruling government party, which has presented a “ blank front, ” may be rekindled.
Democratic Party Congressman Lee Su-jin (Proportional Representative) of the Korean Federation of Trade Unions said: “In the end, this agreement only changes the expansion of the medical school grounds, the establishment of a public medical school and the introduction of a local medical system with the return of physicians to medical treatment “. When the possessors threaten people with their own power as a weapon, and when they take people’s lives as hostages that can never be returned once lost, politics must do what it is and place itself at the “origin.” You do?”
Representative Woo Won-sik, Chairman of the Euljiro President, said on Facebook last night: “ Can democracy be maintained if we withdraw these people? ” “ If we can not stop the intrepid collective action of trying to protect the rights acquired from this moment, these kinds of people’s lives as a guarantee. Will class action continue? He ordered a loud reply.
Furthermore, he referred to the medical world as ‘power’, saying: “(During the democratization movement), I was afraid of political power at that time, but now I am afraid of medical power.”
The Justice Party also lamented saying: “It is a very regrettable thing”, saying: “The important national agenda related to the life and health of the people was overthrown when faced with the selfish collective actions of doctors.” did.
In a call with Newsis, a Honam congressman said: “The party and the government are trying to persuade the medical agreement and seek public understanding because it became known that the party and the government lacked local medical and medical personnel, thus that their ability to respond to infectious diseases was poor. The purpose of the agreement is to communicate with each other, since communication has been lacking until now ”, he ruled out the possibility of abandoning the establishment of a new public medical school.
