Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is leaving the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office in Seocho-gu, Seoul on the afternoon of the 4th. President Moon Jae-in was accepted more than an hour after former President Yoon expressed his appreciation. yunhap news
Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol resigned four months before the expiration of his term on the 4th. During his tenure as president, he was engulfed in controversy over’political acts’, and he is interested in whether he will leave his post as president and move to politics. Among the opposition candidates for the next presidential election, there is an expectation that he will not have little destructive power if he turns to the actual political world, and at the same time, there is an opinion that he will face the limit of not showing a vision to embody the spirit of the times. After receiving the resignation of former President Yoon, the political circles are watching how the presidential race that has come a year ahead will fluctuate. Former President Yoon, who said, “My role in the prosecution is here,” even issued a message to the current administration that “the rule of law has been destroyed”, many views view his next move as advancing to the political world. It seems that high political judgment has been undermined in the recent few days of the prosecution until the resignation of the prosecutor general. In a media interview on the 2nd, he threw a message of open resistance to the so-called’complete prosecution’ (complete deprivation of the prosecution’s right to investigate the prosecution).On the 3rd, he visited Daegu, the political garden of the’Ban Moon Jae-in and conservative camps’, and “feels like home ”Remarked. On the 4th, President Yoon expressed his gratitude and even made a remark of his intention that “we can no longer see the collapse of justice and common sense that this society has built up difficultly.” A politician official said, “There is nothing that is not political, including a media interview on the review of the review, a visit to Daegu, the home of the conservatives, and a message with resignation.” “It feels like the next presidential race has just begun.” If former President Yun turns to politics, the destructive power is likely to be great in’political attention’. This is because, from the current opinion polls alone, it is not clear that the opposition will stand up against former President Yun. Based on the Gallup Korea poll (Week 1 of February), which examines the preferences of the next politician every month, the only opposition politicians who exceed 5% of the approval rating are former President Yoon (9%) and Representative Ahn Chul-soo of the National Assembly Party (5%). Professor Kim Hyung-joon of Myongji University (political science) said, “With the high possibility of political restructuring in opposition parties, the political destructive power of former President Yoon is inevitably maximized. In order to avoid controversy, we will wait for the period of full-fledged political participation by showing off our presence in the outskirts.” Although former President Yoon left the prosecution, there is a possibility that it will emerge as the center of the government whenever the prosecution issue emerges in the political world. Controversy may arise as the Democratic Party proceeds with the’Prosecution Reform Season 2′, which completely eliminates the prosecution’s direct investigative powers. Can re-generate. At that time, the political reflection can return, such as focusing on the’mouth’ of former President Yun. Former President Yoon has already raised his approval rating by receiving the expectations of conservative opposition supporters whenever he competes against the passport over the reform of the prosecution. Park Seong-min, CEO of Political Consulting Group’Min’, said, “It is a questionable situation whether the position of the passport surrounding the prosecution reform is not a single topography and the viewpoints are mixed, so that it will be able to resolve quite a number of variables well in the future.” It is expected that the political destructive power of (President Yoon) will depend on the ability of the passport to finalize the prosecution reform issue.” The political landscape of opposition parties with the possibility of political reform after the 4/7 by-election is also a good condition for Yun. In opposition parties that have been defeated one after another in recent national elections, such as presidential elections, local elections, and parliamentary elections, demand for political reform may erupt according to the results of the 4/7 by-election, which is considered a preliminary war for the next presidential election. If the topography of the opposition is fluctuating, the ransom of the highly recognizable President Yun, can be higher.
On the morning of July 25, 2019, President Moon Jae-in is moving to have a conversation after giving a letter of appointment to the new Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol at the Chungmu Office of the main building of the Blue House. By Kim Jeong-hyo, staff reporter [email protected]
However, there is a question mark about the spirit of the times represented by politician Seok-Yeol Yoon. In the face of conflict with the Moon Jae-in administration, he only represented the’Ban Moon Jae-in sentiment’, but there is no way that former President Yun has shown how to solve complex issues of the times. In the days of the prosecutor general, his remarks about’the rule of law’ may be natural, but’politician Seok-Yeol Yoon’ must show his political ability to overcome the rule of law and solve the problems faced by the present era. This is because Park Han commented that in the political world, “Jeon Yun is not a luminous body that emits light by itself, but a reflector that grows as the provincial power strikes.” However, there are also objections to this. Even in September-October last year, when former President Yoon’s approval rating fell into a lull, there was no change in the trend of other opposition runners’ approval ratings. An official from a polling agency said, “If Yun is’One of Dem’ among the many opposition runners, somebody should rebound when his approval ratings drop. Looking at the trend of last year’s approval rating, nobody can replace Yun Suk-yeol.” He pointed out that there is substance in the’Suk-yeol Yoon effect’ formed by establishing an angle with the Moon Jae-in government.” The approval ratings of former President Yun have to break away from the recent stagnation period with the resignation of the prosecutor general, and watch the rising trend meaningfully. It is also diagnosed that the political success or failure of former President Yoon depends on whether the opposition supporters who oppose the Moon Jae-in administration and the middle class who are demanding isolation from the Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak administrations can be united into a’single zone’. Eom Kyung-young, head of the Era Spirit Research Institute, said, “The’candle spirit’ that no matter how much the people’s power can innovate due to the connection with the forces of Park Geun-hye and Lee Myung-bak is still strong,” he said. “By absorbing the support of opposition through the sentiment of Ban Moon Jae-in, “The success or failure of politician Seok-Yeol Yun depends on how much the middle class shows the potential as an independent political force.” By Noh Hyun-woong, staff reporter
