On the first day of the new year, a storm is brewing after the ‘Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye pardon amnesty’ affirmed by Democratic Party representative Lee Nak-yeon. Rep. Lee made reunification public as a cause, but criticism within the ruling party is also mounting. The responses from the newspapers were clearly divided. The following are the titles of related articles published on the front page of major newspapers (Kookmin, Seoul, World and Korea) on the 2nd.
Kyunghyang Shinmun: Lee Nak-yeon, “MB · Park Geun-hye’s Amnesty for National Integration”
Dong-A Ilbo: Let’s launch Lee’MB- 朴 Amnesty ‘at the beginning of the new year 靑 “Can be discussed”
Chosun Ilbo: Choice D-95 … The former ‘Park Geun-hye sorry’ retired
JoongAng Ilbo; Nak-Yeon Lee “I would suggest forgiving MB · Park Geun-hye” Blue House “Good Word”
The Hankyoreh: “I would suggest forgiving Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak” On the first day of the New Year, Lee Nak-yeon, controversial
‘National integration’ was proposed, but the interpretation of ‘electoral victories and defeats’
Representative Lee Nak-yeon argued that the amnesty of the two former presidents “may be a great key to national unity.” However, my intention is interpreted by political engineering calculations for the elections. He is a cornerstone for “candidate Nak-Yeon Lee” in the immediate re-election in April and in the by-elections and presidential elections next year.
Against the background of the amnesty theory, the Hankyoreh (receiving the emphasis of amnesty and ‘integration’ … the passport coldness of “the lack of public consensus”) said: “When the Supreme Court decision comes of former President Park Geun-hye scheduled for the 14th, the amnesty will surely be discussed, so it will be ahead of the agenda. The intention seems to be undermined. “He interpreted:” As re-election approaches in April, the discussion about amnesty tends to extend into a battle of political intentions, so it may have had the effect of removing force beforehand. ”At the same time,“ Aside from political correctness, it is not clear whether it will be to one’s own advantage. CEO Lee. A member of the Democratic Party said: “It seems he pulled the clemency card for his own political fate without any prerequisites for clemency. Hard to impress,” he said.
The Kyunghyang Shinmun (‘amnesty card’ in relation to the Blue House … means ‘overcome the crisis’ with integration ahead) said: “The character of the joint response strategy between the Party and the government to overcome the current crisis is strong “. “In the second half of Moon Jae-in’s government, the 19th crown crisis and the ‘Chumi-ae and Yoon Seok-yeol’ conflict, which intensified the division of public opinion, and to overcome the crisis, they brought out the forgiveness card, symbol of ‘national integration’ “. In this sense, “within the Democratic Party, it is impossible for the representative of the ruling party to speak publicly of the president’s own pardon, which is impossible without a good relationship.” In this sense, there is an interpretation that Lee took the place of the political load of President Moon. “
JoongAng Ilbo (previously coordinated with President Moon’s number of ‘integration’ victories? Lee Nak-yeon, who was pushed to third place) also said, “Regarding the fact that Lee Nak-yeon, who is usually cautious, brought up the issue of amnesty, which is the president’s own authority, On the one hand, there is an analysis that says he tried to create an opportunity for a pushback for himself, who collapsed in third place on the approval rating the presidential candidate. ”The Chosun Ilbo (the eradication of Chosun Ilbo’s redemption for four years, the ‘integration’ card as the elections approached) was also the reason for Lee’s amnesty,” because this by-election it influences the political future of the Democrats and the Representatives. “I saw it.
The Dong-A Ilbo (Lee “The president should decide to forgive someday” … “led by Jungkook – midway expansion” Seung Byeol-soo) said: “There is a lot of opposition to the clemency proposal right now, But according to President Moon’s decision, public opinion within the party said: ‘In this case, we will be able to approach moderate and conservative voters, reaffirming that they are the successors of the current regime.’ It means that it can be a measure to overcome the situation in the one that Lee is stuck in the recent poll on the approval ratings of candidates for the upcoming presidential election. ”But, if the pardon is destroyed or the Blue House finally objects, Lee will take a big hit before the presidential race Get started in earnest. There is a possibility to use it. “
As such, the interpretation that the amnesty was crafted with the elections in mind is dominant, but some newspapers argued the “humanitarian dimension” or “nationality” and argued the need for amnesty. An editorial on the Chosun Ilbo (a pardon for the former president, abandoning political calculations and making a humanitarian decision) said: “The political assessment and legal sanctions for the two former presidents have been sufficiently imposed. It is time to think about what imprisonment can mean for prolonged prolongation in terms of nationality, “he said.” The issue of amnesty should be made only by the president in terms of humanitarianism and in terms of national unity, “he said.
An editorial on the Dong-A Ilbo (a pardon for the former president, when discussing national unity with GukG) said: “The issue of the former president’s pardon is thought from the perspective of the nationality of the Republic of Korea, which has achieved democratization being the tenth economic power in the world, leaving political favorites. “In addition, the two former presidents who are in prison are already elderly and in poor health due to long-standing chronic diseases,” he stressed. He then argued that “the two jailed former presidents is like holding Korean politics hostage to the past.”
Editorials from Kyunghyang Shinmun and Hankyoreh harshly criticized the “amnesty for Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye.” An editorial in the Kyunghyang Shinmun (the amnesty of the two former presidents without reflection, without justification or unifying effect) said: “In many ways, Lee’s amnesty is inappropriate. Above all, the two of them have committed the tremendous alteration of the flag and have never regretted it. “It is not the rule of law to pardon these former presidents as soon as the Supreme Court ruling comes out. He pointed out that the effect of national integration expected by Lee is also negative. ” He urged: “As the ruling party in power, you need to look back at what they have done for the unification policy and find a way to come to a real deal.”
An editorial in the Hankyoreh (Lee Nak-yeon’s first New Year’s ‘Lee-Park amnesty’ message, inappropriate) read: “The logic that if former presidents are released from prison will lead to national unity, is a thought that cannot keep up with the changing times. It goes against the common sense and legal sentiment of the people. It can lead to division of national opinion, not national unity, “he said.” There are other areas where national unity is urgently needed. Income inequality and the gap between rich and poor caused by the crown are generating social conflict. The representative of the ruling party should have revealed plans and plans to solve these problems with the first message of the new year. Hankyoreh said: “Recently, as approval ratings for him and his party have fallen, he may be desperate for a breakthrough. However, if you are the ruling party’s influential presidential candidate, you should not get impatient, look bigger and make a wise judgment. “
The possibility of performing the ‘forgiveness of Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye’
Meanwhile, interest is piqued in the second Supreme Court ruling against Park Geun-hye on the 14th. When the sentence is confirmed, in principle, it becomes a condition for a special envoy. The Kyunghyang Shinmun (Park Geun-hye, sentenced to reconsideration on 14 … ‘special pardon’ is possible when sentence is confirmed), “The special pardon, which is the authority of the president, is the subject of ‘those sentenced to judgment’. If the Minister of Justice goes through the Amnesty Review Committee and lists the scope and objective of the special amnesty, the President will exercise the right to amnesty through the resolution of the Council of State. If the Supreme Court upheld the sentence on the 14th, a special pardon for Park would be possible. ”“ Mr. Lee Myung-bak was also sentenced to 17 years in prison in October last year on charges of embezzlement of DAS funds and take bribes from Samsung, etc. A special forgiveness is possible. “
However, “President Moon Jae-in pledged not to condone the ‘Top 5 Corruption Crimes,’ such as bribery, misrepresentation, misrepresentation and embezzlement during the presidential elections. Lee was convicted of bribery, a crime subject to President Moon’s promised amnesty. Mr. Park was also convicted on bribery charges at the dismissal trial, ”Kyunghyang Shinmun noted.
The Chosun Ilbo (Park’s reconsideration of the Supreme Law, sentenced on the 14th … can pardon before the New Year) said: “If two people meet the requirements for pardon with ‘sentencing determination’, the Party leader Democrat Lee Nak-yeon announced at the first ‘Park pardon’ Legal obstacles disappear. Amnesty and probation are intended for prisoners whose sentence has been confirmed.
