On the 20th, President Moon Jae-in appointed President Eui-yong Eui-yong (75) as a special assistant for foreign affairs and security as a candidate for the new Minister of Foreign Affairs and reorganized the three ministries. President Moon brought back Candidate Chung, who served as the head of the National Security Office of the Blue House, to the cabinet. Nominated as a candidate. In the fifth year in office, it seems to be a stone to seek stability by strengthening the pro-government system, and not to lose control of the state administration and momentum until the end of the term. However, it is pointed out that the successive appointment of ruling party lawmakers, such as Minister of Public Administration and Security Jeon Jeon-cheol, who have a strong tendency to’friendship’, shows the weakness of the talent pool. ▶ Related Articles page 3 and 4 Chung Man-ho, chief of public communication at the Blue House, announced the nominations of the three ministerial candidates at the Blue House Chunchu Hall on that day. Chief Jeong nominated each candidate for reasons such as “diplomacy, expertise and insight, understanding and insight into policy” (Eui-yong Jeong), “policy planning power and ability to communicate interests” (Hwang Hee), “contributing to promoting win-win cooperation with SMEs” (Kwon Chil-seung). I heard. A senior official at the Blue House explained, “I looked for someone who could create results by keeping pace with the end of the term.” It means that he has chosen a person who will faithfully implement President Moon’s philosophy of state administration and meet his hands and feet. Candidate Jung is the person who was recruited to the Moon Jae-in camp ahead of the 2017 presidential election. For two years and two months since the inauguration of the government, he worked as the head of the Blue House National Security Office, working with Seo Hoon, then head of the National Intelligence Service, to establish a peace process on the Korean Peninsula. Candidate Hwang-hee and Kwon Chil-seung both served as administrators of the participatory government and belonged to the’Owls’ meeting held by their family members. President Moon’s keynote, who moderates his aide, began to stand out last month when Democratic Party lawmakers Jeon Jeon-cheol and Park Beom-gye were successively appointed as Ministers of the Interior and Safety and Justice. Although not a close friend, President Moon has called 7 members of the ruling party into the cabinet, including the candidates for Social Vice Prime Minister Yoo Eun-hye, Unification Minister Lee In-young, and Environment Minister Han Jeong-ae. This is analyzed as a means to block power leakage as much as possible at the end of the term in the face of important political events such as the Seoul-Busan mayoral by-election in April. However, this reorganization also has a side that confirms the’limitation of the talent pool’ that has been pointed out repeatedly. Without discovering talented and innovative talents, the trend of re-employment by raising the’class’ of those used by the participatory government actually repeated until the last reshuffle. There was no plan to open the door to other political parties for’cooperation’. By Lee Wan, staff reporter, Seo Young-ji, [email protected]
