The recommendation of the first candidate for chief criminal investigation officer of senior officials was canceled at the end of the 18th. After a long meeting, the candidate recommendation committee for the chief of the airlift selected four candidates, but the opposition of the two members of the opposition failed to overcome the opposition.
After the 13th, the recommendations committee, which met again, began a long-term debate starting at 2:00 p.m. However, around 6:30 pm, Lee Chan-hee, director of the Korean Bar Association, who came out of the conference room, informed reporters: “I am sorry and I apologize to people for not complying with the national expectations for the chief of airlift inviting. “
On this day, the recommendations committee verified the data submitted by 10 additional candidates for the Ministry of Public Transport and carried out the first written vote. However, there were no candidates with the consent of six of the seven, so the second round of voting was conducted anonymously. Even here, since 6 votes did not come out, the recommendation committee members selected 4 majority voters to vote for the final vote, but there were no 6 votes until the end. Among the final candidates, Jeon Hyun-jeong, director of the Byeon-hyup Center for Gender Equality (recommended by Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae) and Kim Jin-wook, investigator of the Constitutional Court (recommended for President Lee Chan-hee), each received five votes.
However, the recommendation committee decided not to hold any further meetings. President Lee Chan-hee said, “There was a discussion about whether there is a possibility to recommend a candidate for the next meeting due to the structure. The Airborne Law stipulated that two candidates agreed to by six of the seven members of the nominating committee were selected, and then the final candidate nominated by the president was appointed through a parliamentary hearing. However, there were constant voices of concern that the final decision would not be easy due to the structure of five passport recommenders and two opposition recommenders. The results of the meeting on the 18th came out as concerned.
The ruling and opposition nominating committees ultimately failed to agree … “The recommendation committee itself is politics.”
President Lee saw that it would be virtually impossible to elect a candidate for the airlift chief unless the composition of the recommendation committee or the voting method was changed. He said: “The Minister of Public Service must be guaranteed the greatest political independence and neutrality, but the composition of the recommendation committee itself appears to be on a continuum of politics.” “No.” However, he added, “although the recommendations committee has decided not to hold the next meeting, the meeting can be held if the president of the National Assembly or the president of the recommendations committee meets, or when more than a third of the members the committee request it. “
Lawyer Lee Heon, a member of the opposition party’s recommendation, said: “Although we objected, we have concluded that the rest of us are actually ending (activities). There are expectations and concerns of the people, but they are not very convinced that the recommendation committee will end this way. “I’m sorry.” He said: “It was fine for the recommenders of the opposition parties to go ahead and recommend again and go to the selection of candidates for the new head of the Karate Department “he said.” We’ll find a plan on our own. “
The ruling party, which has said it aims to launch an airlift within this year, has stated that it cannot wait any longer. Choi In-ho, the chief spokesman for the Democratic Party, immediately issued a press release and said: “In fact, the recommendation of (Airborne Minister Candidate) by consensus was thwarted against the power of the people.” “The Democratic Party will continue to advance down an alternative path,” he said. “By reviewing the law, he will surely establish an airlift within this year.”
