Chey Jae-sung, chief political officer of the Blue House, said on the 13th, “Shall we have to pardon from the people’s point of view and from the perspective of the people?” As negative public opinion is high, it can be interpreted as meaning that the amnesty of the two former presidents is difficult unless there is a special change in circumstances. The fact that the Blue House announced the fact that Chief Choi’s radio interview was announced to the access reporters the day before, and that the day was a day before the Supreme Court sentence of former President Park Geun-hye, was delayed. Is accepted.
Ahead of the re-emergence of the amnesty theory, the’baseline’ reclaimed
In an interview on the day (CBS)’Kim Hyun-Jung’s News Show’, Choi said, “Amnesty is the only authority of the President. It is difficult” he said. He also mentioned the person’s apology and reflection. Chief Choi said, “The ruling party (as a prerequisite for pardon) talked about apology and reflection, but the opposition party said,’If you want to (pardon), just do it (without conditions), what apology do you ask for?’ In fact, this is a contradiction. (Amnesty) is the president’s intrinsic authority, and since the two letters of citizenship are premised on it, there is no need to engage in political battles and I think it is an issue that should not be done.” Choi’s remarks on the day were intended to reduce the political burden that may come back to President Moon by formulating a clear “baseline” in advance by the Blue House in response to the demand for amnesty that the opposition and conservative camps could not but erupt after Park Geun-hye was sentenced to reconsideration. It becomes an answer. With the word that the pardon is’the president’s own authority’, he repeatedly emphasized that the pardon theory of Democratic Party President Lee Nak-yeon and others came out without sympathy with the President, while the opposition was’the people who tried to divert cold public opinion It sent a message saying,’Effort must be preceded.’ Earlier, Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong also revealed a negative position on the political dispute over the former president’s pardon through a radio interview. Governor Lee said, “It is the president’s own authority, and it is a field close to the act of governing. If they say that they have done nothing wrong, if you forgive them, you can think,’If you have the power, you will look after everything.’ It is difficult to achieve a preventive effect.”
“I proposed a meeting with the president to Kim Jong-in, but there was no answer”
The sentence of former President Park Geun-hye, a controversial pardon, is finally decided on the 14th. On the 14th, the Supreme Court concluded on former President Park Geun-hye, who was handed over to trial in the case of repayment of special activity expenses between Gukjeong Nongdan and the National Intelligence Service. The Gukjeong Nongdan case was three years and nine months after the prosecution in April 2017. The NIS special activity expense case also ends three years after the prosecution in January 2018. Meanwhile, in a radio interview that day, Chief Jae-seong Choi announced that he had proposed a New Year’s meeting with the President to the side of the Emergency Response Committee Chairman Kim Jong-in, but had not yet received an answer. previously The Blue House proposed to hold a representative meeting of the opposition parties in August last year to respond to Corona 19 and the economic crisis, but the Future Integration Party, the predecessor of the people’s power, said that it was rejected. Since then, President Moon and Chairman Kim have not been able to hold a meeting. By Lee Wan, staff reporter [email protected]
