In connection with the suspicion of the son of Justice Minister Choo Mi-ae, the “preferential military life”, the Democratic Party is in the mood for the first cover. The tendency to “must endure” the wave of offenses from the opposition party prevails. However, there are concerns that if the National Assembly is covered by the suspicion of Minister Chu, the burden may return to the Democratic Party in charge of state affairs. Public opinion, which can fluctuate depending on the situation, is also a burden. This is why the story of “you have to look at people’s sentiment” comes out at the same time.
On the 11th, the strong opinion of the Democratic Party prevailed that “there are no apologies or resignations” in relation to the move of Minister Chu. Even in the Supreme Council held that day, the promotional comments were “Almost all suspicions are almost false” (Representative Jong-min Kim) “I hope you will stop the ridiculous political offensive, except for the opposition parties” (Representative Dong-geun Shin). When it closed, it was reported that the previous day, Prime Minister Chung Sye-gyun’s statements that he had an embarrassing thought in causing public concern with his children’s problem even raised the question of “it was inappropriate.”
On the cover of Minister Chu, there is a judgment that this issue could shake the regime itself. It is feared that the morality of the regime could prove fatal if Cho Guk and later Justice Minister Chu, who managed to fall in the way of their children, could bring a lame duckling for President Moon Jae-in. A member of the Democratic Party, who is considered a real strategic pain, said in a call with the Hankook Ilbo the same day: “There may be a result of not getting any results in the second half of power and raising the lame duck.”
The fact that Minister Chu is carrying out a strong reform of the prosecution by setting up a confrontation with Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol is another reason that cannot be easily withdrawn. This is because the loss of Minister Chu not only loses the power of the prosecution reform, but it is also not appropriate to choose a card to replace it. That day, the Blue House also refuted and concluded a national petition calling for the dismissal of Minister Chu for reasons such as inj unfair greetings from the prosecutor △ unreasonable exercise of the investigative and command authority. The Blue House was led by the prosecutor’s office of Minister Chu to support the performance of the prosecution services focused on human rights, public welfare and the rule of law, and the investigative command authority exercised in the case of the so-called The ‘prosecutor’s office’ was “granted by justice in the exercise of the rights of accusation The minimum democratic checks received.”
There is also a judgment that public opinion has not yet reached a serious level unlike the situation of former Minister Cho Kook. As a result of a poll conducted by Realmeter on the 10th, the approval ratings of President Moon and the Democratic Party registered 45.7% and 33.7%, staying within the margin of error (± 2.5% points) with respect to The last week. In the poll results conducted on the 11th by Gallup Korea, President Moon’s approval rate was 46% and the Democratic Party’s approval rate was 39%, which was also within the margin of error (± 3, 1% points) compared to last week. The opposition party is building momentum by suspecting Choo’s son as a “homeland landmark,” but the Democratic Party’s internal judgment is that actual public opinion is a different trend than it was at the time.
However, considering the fact that the approval rating of the Democratic Party decreased until last month and other negative factors, such as the theory of the responsibility of the Democratic Party legislator Lee Sang-jik for the Easta Airlines incident, it is still too much. soon to be relieved. In addition, the issue of Minister Chu swallows other issues such as a black hole in the regular National Assembly, which should lead to various legislative reforms. In fact, it is known that there were many opinions that even at the time of the closing of the supreme committee of the Democratic Party that day, more attention should be paid to the suspicion of the son of Minister Chu.
One of the main committee members who attended the meeting said in a call with Hankook Ilbo: “The party responded directly to the suspicions surrounding Minister Chu, so many opinions were requested to observe the changes in public opinion.” . There was also an opinion that it was necessary to measure the feeling of the people raised ”. Another high-level member of the committee said, “I know that Minister Chu is also aware of the problem of his attitude that has marked a corner against the opposition party.” “Since he has been silent for a long time, I am thinking about the moment to break the silence and express his position.”
