[정치]Democratic Party whose attitude has changed since Kim Jong-un apologizes …

[앵커]

The Democratic Party, which declared the North Korean shootings brutal and first proposed the adoption of a resolution to condemn North Korea, is showing a turnaround after President Kim Jong-un’s apologies.

It is logical that the need for a condemnatory resolution has disappeared because North Korea has promised some apologies and prevention of a repeat.

Until North Korean leader Kim Jong-un’s apology was published, the position of the Democratic Party did not differ significantly from the strength of the people.

He maintains a strong tone that North Korea’s atrocities cannot be forgiven and has proposed the adoption of a condemnatory resolution at the National Assembly level beyond the standing committee.

[김태년 / 더불어민주당 원내대표(어제 오전) : 어떤 이유에서든 북한의 반문명적이고 야만적 만행은 용납될 수 없습니다.” “야당과 협의해 본회의에서 국회 차원의 대북 규탄 결의안을 통과시켜서….]

However, the position of the Democratic Party changed markedly after the publication of the North Korean notice containing President Kim Jong-un’s apology.

The apology itself was extraordinary and gave great meaning to the leaders, and also carefully expressed the expectation that the inter-Korean dialogue would resume.

[윤건영 / 더불어민주당 의원(어제 오후) : 이번처럼 우리 정부의 공식적 요구에 의해서, 요청에 의해서 바로 이렇게 나온 적은 없다고 생각하는데….] [이낙연 / 더불어민주당 대표(어제 오후) : 변하지 않고 있는 냉엄한 현실은 개선해 가야 하고 조금이나마 변화되고 있는 것은 더 살려 나가는 것이 남북 관계를 위해서 바람직한 우리의 대처 방법이라고 생각하는데….]

The mood of the Democratic Party on adopting a resolution condemning North Korea at the National Assembly level also changed in one day.

After North Korea’s notice, the need for a sentencing resolution disappeared.

The Democratic Party plans to reaffirm this position at a meeting of the opposition party delegation, but the power of the people is unlikely to accept it.

The position of the people is that the resolution and inquiries on urgent matters must be passed.

Above all, as the explanations of North Korea and the contents revealed by our military are very different, we are in a position to thoroughly investigate the details of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Unification, Foreign Affairs and Security.

[한기호 / 국민의힘 진상조사TF 위원장 : 북한에서 보낸 2쪽짜리 전통문에 정신이 혼미해서 감읍하는 문재인 대통령과 여권의 정치인들에게 정신 차리라고 경고합니다.]

In the end, President Kim Jong-un’s apology had a great influence on the fact that the positions of the two major parties were very divided.

The tug of war between the two sides is expected to start in earnest on how to send a message to North Korea.
