[정치]’The pardon controversy’, in the end, the Blue House…

[앵커]

The controversy over the amnesty of the former president, which has emerged as the biggest political issue in the new year, eventually shifted to the Blue House.

Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon, who ignited the debate, does not bend over to make a suggestion to President Moon Jae-in.

The Blue House has not made an official position, but President Moon’s New Year’s press conference is likely to be expressed in some way.

From the first day of the New Year in 2021, the controversy over the pardon for the former president has heated the political world, but the Blue House has not made any other stance.

It was a topic posed by the ruling party’s representative, not other people, but he is complaining that there is no official position.

The controversy seemed to fade as the ruling party immediately faced a fierce backlash, but Lee Nak-yeon himself seems to continue the fire.

It means that he will not bend over to make a suggestion to President Moon Jae-in, who is the decision maker of the pardon.

In the end, it seems difficult to put off the answer over and over again as the ballot of the pardon debate falls over to the Blue House.

Still, it doesn’t seem that simple for President Moon to make a statement.

This is because the core supporters have strong public opinion that cannot be amnesty, but it is not easy to turn away from’inclusiveness’ as the approval rate is renewing the lowest every day.

It is for this reason that despite the denial of the Blue House and the ruling party, the’prior sympathy theory’ appeared.

A key member of the Blue House, however, is drawing a line saying that it makes no sense to talk about the pardon without a Supreme Court decision.

However, the controversy over the amnesty of two former presidents who struck politics at the beginning of the year is expected to become a major issue at the upcoming President Moon’s New Year’s press conference, and the position is expected to be expressed in some way.
