[고정애 논설위원이 간다] “Isn’t it surrounded by the forces that use it for the president?”

President Moon Jae-in first appeared on the center stage as the chief civil servant of the Blue House. It was because of the sort of cause of carrying simple belongings in plastic bags. Since 1999, it has become the longest-running senior civilian (2 years and 4 months). It is the civil government of the’original experience’ of politics.

The first person to see the possibility in President Moon was Kim Seong-jae, executive director of the Kim Dae-jung Peace Center, who was the first chief civil servant of the Kim Dae-jung (DJ) government. Standing director Kim had asked President Moon to serve as civil affairs secretary when he was appointed as chief civil servant. Three years later, when President-elect Roh Moo-hyun tried to appoint another person as chief civil servant, the person who strongly advocated President Moon was also executive director Kim. “Attorney Moon Jae-in is pure and responsible, so I wanted to work with him.”

The excommunication of Shin Hyun-soo, chief executive officer Min Jeong-su, reminded me of the executive director of Kim. We talked three times, two times before Shin returned to work, and once after returning. On the 23rd, the last conversation, the passport said that it was “sealed.” Over the handset, Director Kim said he shouldn’t.

“Sleep doesn’t solve the essence problem. It should not be misunderstood that the prosecution reform is degraded as a means of preventing the government’s corruption and corruption. Attorney General Park Bum-gye must be dismissed and Chief Shin’s resignation must be accepted. President Moon should devote all his efforts to income-led growth, job creation for young people, and stabilization of housing prices for the rest of the year. If you don’t do that, you will become a failed president no matter what achievements you make, but I hope you won’t be that kind of president.”

#One. I don’t understand the neutralization of the most trusted chief civilian.

In the call on the 19th, which was the first conversation, Executive Director Kim said, “This is not normal. He said, “Because the chief civilian was neutralized, the Minister of Justice first made a mistake, and the President who tolerated it seems to have done the wrong.” On the morning of the 22nd, Shin returned from vacation, but before the announcement of his return to work, he met Executive Director Kim. It was at the Kim Daejung Library in Mapo, Seoul.

He first handed out two A4 documents. It was the title of’Citizen’s Senior Business’. ▶Due to problems such as abuse of power, it was abolished when the DJ government was inaugurated, but was revived in 1999 after 16 months.▶By taking charge of civil affairs and reflecting it in the state affairs (civil affairs), by directing and directing to the President ▶Human Resources It was content such as being in charge.

Standing director Kim said, “The president should be the most trusted chief,” he said. “It doesn’t make sense to say that he has neutralized such a chief civil servant.” He said, “It is very regrettable that President Moon, who knows more than anyone else how important the affairs of the chief civil servant is, has caused a confusion in the state affairs because of the chief civil servant from the early days of power.”

Even at the end of 2018, Executive Director Kim had warned against the then chief civil servant of his country. He said, “I thought that I was a comrade, but would (President Moon) regret criticizing it?” He advised, “Don’t wrap up Chief Cho with a sense of comrade, change it quickly.”

#2. Forces surrounding the president

Executive director Kim also spoke of’the forces surrounding President Moon’. He also used the expression’to rest on the forces of the candlelight revolution’. In politics, it is ’86 (a student number in the 80s, born in the 60s), in the legal world, Minbyun, and in civil society, it is a participatory solidarity and democratic union. “The forces surrounding President Moon cover his eyes and ears, pretending to be for President Moon, and I think that President Moon has failed to take the center of it.” As the number of interests increases and conflicts of interest such as human resources are conflicting, is it not possible that illegal, injustice and irregularities appear.”

On the other hand, as a teacher, I cited the selection of the former president of the Roh Tae-woo administration, who had no relationship with the DJ, as the first presidential secretary. It was also said that it was necessary to have a person with experience in state affairs because of the change of government after 50 years, but he said that it was to block his comrades and people in the past from exerting influence on the Blue House. “It is difficult for the president to play his role if it is brought in like this as the government of the candlelight revolution for all four years,” said Executive Director Kim.

He also said that when he pointed out that President Moon’s promise to Chief Shin (a stable relationship with the prosecution) was not kept. “Up to now, there are many people who are concerned about Yongdusami’s words and actions, who can’t say good things in front of them and take care of them. No matter how close you are, you have to be strict when you are publicly strict… . People who know this use more. Because they are much more seasoned. It’s a pity to be more vigilant.”

#3. Was this the first time

Kwak Sang-do, who was the first civilian chief of the Park Geun-hye administration, also asked. He is a former prosecutor and is the first year of senior Shin. He diagnosed this issue as “a situation that has not been seen before, which has passed even President Moon,” and that “the situation is covered because it seems that the problem will be big.” With Chief Shin, he expected it would be “nearly planted.” “If you know that the president doesn’t have the credibility of that person, it’s impossible for anyone to have one or another power, exercise, or maintain a seat,” he said. Then he said something like this.

“It’s literally a lame duck that the president has been passed, and I’m actually curious if this was the first time. As you can see in the disciplinary bill of Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, which has lasted more than a year, the president has not made a decision, so it is possible that attorney general Park Beom-gye and others have set a precedent and beat. Minister Park denied all of these suspicions in the National Assembly the day before.

“It was temporarily closed because it was too burdensome for the current administration ahead of the election in April,” said a lawyer from the conservative government who requested anonymity. That said, it will be at the level of keeping the position rather than playing an active role.”
