[고정애의 시시각각] “There is no top or bottom in the Blue House right now.”

Writer Jeong-ae Jeong

Six years ago, a member of the opposition party made this regret.

“Now in the Blue House, there is no top and bottom, and there is no basic concept of the post-gongseon death (公先私後). There is a saying that it is a soybean flour family, but how can the heart of the country’s operation be such a tragic kaleidoscope?”

At the time, it was because Kim Young-han, the Blue House Chief Minjeong, rejected the presidential secretary’s instructions to attend the National Assembly’s management committee and resigned. It was a difficult case to find a precedent. Around that time, it was said that civil affairs secretary Woo Byung-woo had a direct deal with Chief Kim, virtually’passing’ Chief Kim.

The memoirs left by former chief Kim (who died in 2016) still have these points. It is July 1, 2014. ‘Hwang Gyo-an/ 16th term, not in 5 (name) / OOO (2 K high school), OOO (Comprehensive evaluation of difficulties) OOO (Self-rejection) OOO (priority award)/ 17th term OOO (Lack of competency test, stubbornness) OOO (PK, Blue House work history) OOO (Once test, possibility of persuasion)’. On the 3rd, it appears as’the land, the county-the hearing problem, nothing’ with the singular name.

Hwang Gyo-an was the Minister of Justice at the time, and the 16th and 17th period was the head of the Judicial Research and Training Institute. It appears that Hwang and Kim discussed the candidates for the Supreme Court. As a result, none of these lawyers became candidates. It was’empty’. Still, it is a window where you can see how the Minister of Justice and Chief Min Jeong are conducting personnel consultations. In fact, a former senior civil servant explained, “Typically, the chief and the minister discuss important positions several times, and the Ministry of Justice makes a personnel plan and sends it to the chief civil administration office, and the chief civil servant reports to the president.”

On the other hand, how prominent was the announcement of the Ministry of Justice’s personnel announcement on the afternoon of the 7th on Sunday. President Moon Jae-in was so confident that he would resign. Even though he knows what kind of political influence will be brought about after a month of inauguration, Chief Shin has made it, and even though the Blue House took the form of rejection to reduce the shock, the process would have been revealed as Chief Shin was stubborn.

The Blue House explained, “As a result, it was reported and announced in the absence of coordination by the Minister of Justice as a result.” First of all, it is the time of reporting and payment. The Ministry of Justice informed reporters at around 12 noon that day,’the personnel press release will be distributed at 1:30 pm’. Shin was belatedly aware of this and tried to delay the announcement, but the Ministry of Justice did as planned. If the president’s approval was a matter, Shin would have tried to delay it. If it is true that Shin requested inspection and investigation on this, it is not because President Moon thought he was also’passed’. The Blue House, however, denied the report that Shin’s request for supervision was not mentioned in Katabuta, but that’the Ministry of Justice’s personnel announcement was made without the presence of the president.

Who said’It’s been reported’. How much is Lee Gwang-cheol Civil Administration Secretary involved? A person who knows the Blue House situation well claimed, “I heard that this secretary was in control of the prosecution’s personnel even when I was the former chief of civil servants.”

It is Justice Minister Park Beom-gye who caused confusion even as the Blue House’s poor description. However, I haven’t heard of President Moon warning Park in any way. Was President Moon tolerated in advance or did he decide to condone?

President Moon said he repeatedly promised Shin, “Don’t worry because I’ll run the prosecution stably.” As a result, it was just words. Not long ago, he sent a messenger to Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and said, “Do not be shaken, keep your term of office, and fulfill your duties.” Which is the real President Moon?

It is a more’kaleidoscope’ than 6 years ago. At the time, an opposition member of the opposition party demanded the president’s apology, saying, “The national discipline has become a breeze.” It is President Moon Jae-in, who was the longest-supplied member of the New Political Democratic Union. What would you say this time? Will you be silent again?
