[정치][현장영상] ‘John Bolton’ as a witness at the hearing for Justice?…

[김영호 / 더불어민주당 의원]

Secretary Kim Seok-ki pointed out that the hearing witnesses were not accepted through a speech by the doctors. I am very sorry for that part too.

However, after the plenary meeting was over, I would like to inform the opposition party to adopt witnesses suitable for the hearing prior to the adoption of witnesses, because I mentioned that this is not the state administration and that the witnesses recommended are not suitable for the purpose of the hearing.

For example, it seems that not only the ruling party members but also the people are very proud of the opposition party’s adoption of John Bolton in the case of John Bolton, which has been a problem in many media.

The problem that John Bolton raised a lot through his memoirs is currently controversial in the United States. In particular, in the case of the Trump administration, when a former official appears as a witness at a hearing verifying the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Korea, will John Bolton testify for the interests of the Republic of Korea or the interests of the United States? I really don’t understand why you didn’t review it and recommended it as a witness.

In addition, Choi Jong-Geon recommended as a witness of the First Vice Minister, but in the case of the First Vice Minister, Choi Jong-Geon always comes to the general meeting of the External Communications Commission. You can ask questions at the level of our External Communications Commission. While I was working on the Foreign Communications Commission, I had heard the vice-minister’s lack of answers, so I heard supplemental inquiries from the minister, but I was quite curious about the adoption of a witness asking the vice minister in the matter of verifying the candidate for the minister.

However, the problem he wanted to ask from the opposition party was the 9.19 military agreement. The content has a very sensitive issue, there are issues that should not be disclosed, and there are various reasons, so we could not agree on that point.

Ambassador Lee Soo-hyuk is similar to Deputy Minister Choi Jong-gun. During the last audit of the state administration, opposition members directly inquired about various issues, and I decided that the rest of the issues related to the North Korean warfare complex were actually the issues of the Ministry of Unification, not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Therefore, it is very regrettable that the opposition committee members have raised issues regarding the various witness adoption issues, but when we see each of those witnesses, they are not suitable as witnesses of this hearing. I would like to say that there were opinions from members of the ruling party and my judgment.

I think all of these evaluations will probably be done by our people. That is all.
