Former President Lee Myung-bak, who was sentenced to 17 years in prison in the Supreme Court appeal, entered Seoul National University Hospital in Jongno-gu, Seoul for medical treatment on the morning of October 30 last year. yunhap news
The pro-I (pro-Lee Myung-bak) system is boiling as some have discussed the possibility of a selective pardon for former Presidents Lee Myung-bak (MB) and Park Geun-hye. Some reports were reported on the 7th that of the two former presidents, only Lee’s pardon could be withheld. In this regard, Blue House spokesman Kang Min-seok said, “We have not reviewed the facts at all.”
MB’s personnel said in a call with the JoongAng Ilbo on the same day, “I heard the news that they are considering a pardon for selection. It feels like blood is flowing upside down. Another pro-Lee-in-law member of the People’s Strength rebelled, saying, “If it’s true, it’s a mockery of former President Lee.”
Despite the Blue House’s official denial of the selection pardon, the MB side does not accept it as it is. An official said, “It is unlikely that such a story came out for nothing.” “The death of former President Roh Moo-hyun of the late (late) may have influenced the revenge of the ruling powers, who believe that the death of former President Roh Moo-hyun was caused by MB.” He also said, “If the feeling of revenge is expressed as a policy or a decision of the president, it is ridiculous.”
The MB side complained, “Recently, the expression of the passport floating is continuing.”
President Lee, who is currently incarcerated in the Eastern Detention Center in Seoul and is currently hospitalized and treated at Seoul National University Hospital, recently applied for suspension of execution at the recommendation of a passport person, but the prosecution also claims that it has been dismissed. Following this, Lee Nak-yeon, the representative of the Democratic Party, has directly and indirectly conveyed a plan for a pardon, which is also likely to collapse due to opposition from the supporters of the passport.
A key official on the MB side said, “I believe in the sincerity of CEO Nak-yeon Lee who mentioned the’proposal for pardon’,” and said, “I felt that there was a gap between Lee and the ruling powers.” He then argued, “At least, the autographs were not correct among themselves, or, to put it badly, wasn’t it that they drew a picture from the beginning that only the former president did not want to pardon.”
Some people doubt that, “Isn’t Jungkook planned to pardon Lee Myung-bak for embarrassment?” An official said, “In the so-called’clearing of redemption’ investigation, I will not investigate’unreasonable political retaliation’ in the passport. “Don’t respond head-on to the prosecution,” he said. “Isn’t it in the same context that he was arrested for the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics when he called’I’ll serve you well’ and sat in the back seat?”
Meanwhile, MB, who is inpatient treatment at Seoul National University Hospital due to underlying diseases such as pneumonia, did not comment on the amnesty. It is known that his lawyer has not been able to interview Lee for a while due to self-quarantine due to contact with corona19 confirmed patients.
