[앵커]
In the last national audit, prosecutors general Yoon Seok-yeol and Minister Chu Mi-ae were dissatisfied with the prosecution’s personnel.
After taking office as the new Justice Minister Park Bum-gye, I will hear the opinion of the prosecutor general regarding the personnel of the prosecution. I also emphasized it like this. Let’s listen to the answer on the way to work this morning.
[윤석열 / 검찰총장 (지난해 10월 22일, 대검 국정감사) : ‘(장관의) 인사안이 아마 청와대에 있을 겁니다. 청와대에 연락해서 받아보시고 거기에 의견 달아서 보내주세요’ 이러더라고요. 청와대에서는 펄쩍 뛰죠. 터무니없는 일이라고. 인사안은 다 짜져 있고. 그런 식으로 인사하는 법이 없습니다. 지난 1월 이후에는 많이 노골적인 인사가 있었던 것 같습니다.]
[박범계 / 법무부 장관 (지난 1일, 취임식) : 오늘은 윤석열 검찰총장과 조금 전에 직접 만났습니다. 대문만 열어놓고 장관실 문은 잠그는 일은 없을 것입니다. 서로 언제든지, 허심탄회하게 대화합시다.]
[박범계 / 법무부 장관 (오늘 출근길) : 대전지검장을 유임했습니다. 그런 측면에서 ‘패싱’ 이런 말은 좀 맞지 않지 않느냐, 하는 생각을 가져봅니다. 저로서는 최대한 애를 썼습니다. 총장 입장에서는 다소 미흡하다고 생각할 수 있겠습니다.]
[앵커]
On the way to work today, President Yoon Suk-yeol was a passing greeting. There was a question from reporters like this, and you even heard the answer. Lee Seong-yoon retained the Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, but the Daejeon District Prosecutors’ Office, who is in charge of nuclear power plant investigations, also remained. And the chief swordsman, who wants the president. In addition, the prosecution chief Shim Jae-cheol was replaced with this situation, so I tried as much as possible. From the prosecutor general’s point of view, you may think that it is insufficient, but I tried my best, this is this position. Wouldn’t there be any part that could be evaluated as a compromise?
[이준석]
What kind of compromise this is, isn’t it that we usually call it a winding whistle? Good things add up and evil punishes. I’m not saying to compare evil and good, but it’s natural to keep where you’re doing well. You have to go where you can’t. However, as I pointed out earlier, there were two infighting. What did you do wrong with the investigation at the Daejeon District Prosecutors’ Office without removing the elements of the big and small infighting?
[앵커]
How about this? It is also the contents of the greeting, which was announced on an unusual holiday afternoon, and according to the claim of the great swordsman just before the announcement, one-way notification was made. And you said earlier that it is only necessary to listen to opinions rather than discussion or agreement. There is also this point. What are your thoughts on this part?
[현근택]
In that regard, if the Minister of Defense is at war, the opinion of the Chief of Staff of the Army should be reflected. Because the same goes for soldiers. The same is true when fighting. But, in fact, I usually say hello every year. This is the regular greeting season. So it doesn’t matter whether you did it on Sunday or not. But was it known in advance? If I had informed this story in advance, I could have expressed an objection to it, but I didn’t give that time. I have to reflect my opinion on this person, but I am saying that I am sorry, but that part is always controversial. Anyway, legally, I listened to the opinion and suggested it, and in the end, the final person in charge is with the President. It doesn’t belong to the minister.
That’s why, in fact, such a procedural thing has been greeted by a large number of people who had previously been on the investigation team from the time President Yoon Suk-yeol first came. It is almost reflected. Rather, at that time, the Minister of Justice was passed, but it is now in my view that it is properly established. Because this is a reason for saying hello to the prosecution every year. The investigators below do not change. But it’s the same with the police and the prosecution, but the executives are forced to change every year or two because if they stay in one area for a long time, they’ll either stick together or become entangled in interests. Anyway this time, the current investigators did not touch it, and I think this part is of great significance.
[앵커]
Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, it is said that he showed such a reaction after a greeting plan, but anyway, Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol’s term of office is until July. I also had this question today. When I was asked if I would like to greet you on a large scale, I answered like this. In fact, then, shouldn’t Minister Park Beom-gye have to see the greetings after the retirement of President Yoon Seok-yeol in July?
[이준석]
Actually, in the end, there is a purpose of making a plant president. Who would most like the Korean prosecution to become a plant prosecutor? Of course they are criminals. So what criminals would like most to do is to look at me like this because I’m curious. The investigation is not going on right now, in the end. The people should look very critically at that point. I’m thinking of this.
Previously, the prosecutor Han Dong-hoon will tell you about Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo soon, but this is the logic that the Democratic Party people do these days for less than a year. Attorney Han Dong-hoon has to rob his phone anyway. There seems to be a problem when I report the transcript, I said. Did you know and transcribe? Attorney Han Dong-hoon? It was a transcript of a private conversation. That is why. Also, if you go to Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo, you shouldn’t resign because of this because you recorded a private conversation. Even if you made a problematic remark. So, this is the logic that doesn’t last a year, so it keeps going back and forth, so you’re listening to the sound of Nambul and choose whether it’s Kim Myung-soo or Han Dong-hoon, please.
