Hong Nam-ki, will the revised year-end memo be excluded? 靑 “People who are eligible for the crown phase”

It should be noted whether the name of Hong Nam-ki, Deputy Prime Minister for the Economy and Ministry of Strategy and Finance, will be included when President Moon Jae-in reopens earlier this year.

Some observers have noted that it will be included in the shakeup in terms of the fact that the cumulative conflict between the political parties was exposed through the announcement of Vice Premier Hong’s announcement.

However, if you put the words of the Blue House and passport officials together, the fact that President Moon immediately rejected his resignation and revealed through the mouth of a spokesman that he was re-trusting, can be interpreted as a strong suggestion. that he will retain Vice Premier Hong regardless of party wrongdoing. Therefore, the observation that the mandate will continue until the policies established by the Hong Nam-ki regime, such as the Korean version of the New Deal, are carried out.

On the 4th, a key member of the Blue House said in a call with Newsis: “The reason to trust Hong again is that the economic team led and performed well in the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), and that they are looking to the future. Vice Premier Hong took responsibility and expressed his gratitude the day before when disagreements between political parties were exposed over the direction of major economic policies, such as easing property tax standards and strengthening requirements for related major shareholders. with investment in stocks. At the general meeting of the National Assembly Planning and Finance Committee, the Blue House immediately confirmed the fact that Vice Premier Hong had voiced his resignation and emphasized the fact that President Moon rejected his resignation and reconfirmed it. It was assessed that it was quite unusual for the Blue House to confirm matters related to the personal rights of the president.

As the controversy grew, the Blue House seemed to have started to evolve once, but several times the political-partisan conflict occurred over major economic policies, and some remarks were made that it could have been a warning message from the president. to the match.

This is not the first time Vice Premier Hong’s speech has been delivered. At the time when the party government played a tug of war on the amount of emergency subsidies paid for disasters, Vice Premier Hong made a private expression when the party’s opinion passed through “expanding to all the people.” President Moon rejected his resignation at the time.

Furthermore, it is interpreted that it was in consideration of President Moon’s intention that the Democratic Party’s ‘Goo-Ryeong Ham’ was issued to refrain from inquiries that provoked Vice Premier Hong.

Park Hong-geun, a member of the Democratic Party, said: “As the president reaffirmed and empowered the deputy prime minister, we believe that it is appropriate to review the budget according to the established procedure and organize the timetable for the future.”

Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun also explained, “The President decided that the Deputy Prime Minister was not responsible for it, and there are various problems in the Korean version of the New Deal, such as the revision of the current budget, so he rejected it because he wanted to. that the deputy prime minister take office. ”

However, inside and outside the passport, there are many opinions that the exchange is inevitable as the accumulated conflict between the party and the political parties has surfaced due to the public announcement by Vice Premier Hong. In addition, there are voices that feel uncomfortable internally in terms of imposing a burden on the personal rights of the president.

For this reason, the question of whether or not Vice Premier Hong will be included in the shakeup with the consideration of the by-election of the mayor of Seoul earlier in the year is cause for concern.

However, it is said that there is a high possibility of retaining Vice Premier Hong as an opportunity to take advantage of this incident, however, due to the characteristics of President Moon’s staff, who does not give a harsh salute. A Blue House official said, “President Moon considers Vice Premier Hong to be the ‘right person’ in the coronavirus phase,” and said, “I know expectations are high going forward.”

President Moon told Vice Premier Hong about the improvement in economic indicators in the fourth quarter after the third quarter on the 20th of last month: “Despite the impact of domestic demand and employment caused by the reproliferation of the crown since mid-August, the economic team has worked hard. ” I also encouraged him.

Meanwhile, the reorganization at the beginning of the year is expected to take place on a large scale. President Roh Young-min, head of the presidential secretary, responded to the question about the possibility of reopening the Steering Committee of the National Assembly earlier in the year, saying: “It is intertwined with the issue of the personal rights of the president” and ” we are doing several reviews. “

Including the replacement of ministers with consideration for the by-election of the mayor of Seoul next year, including Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation Kim Hyun-mi, Minister of Health and Welfare Park Neung-hoo, and Minister of Relations Foreign Kang Kyung-hwa, who are ‘first-year members’, there are at least five members. Small and Medium Business Business Minister Park Young-sun and Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae are being discussed as candidates for mayor of Seoul.

In addition, there is the possibility to replace the Minister of Gender and Family Equality Lee Jung-ok, who has been replaced from time to time, the Minister of Commerce, Industry and Energy Sung Yun-mo, the Minister of Employment and Labor Lee Jae -gap, and Minister of the Environment Cho Joong-rae, who have a two-year term.

However, they agree that the opening of the end of the year and the beginning of the year is linked to the situation of the National Assembly. This is due to the recognition that a hearing regime must be formed after the major public welfare laws and next year’s budget laws are processed.

A passport official said, “This ordinary assembly is actually the final stage in the processing of the bill for President Moon before the start of the presidential race,” and said, “The president is more cautious about delaying the prosecution of the bill due to political disputes due to a hearing. “
