President Moon Jae-in held a New Year’s press conference in an on-off hybrid method at the Cheongwadae Chunchugwan on the 18th, answering questions from reporters about the political situation and the direction of this year’s government administration. Senior Reporter Tae-Seok Wang
On the 18th, when President Moon Jae-in’s New Year’s press conference was held, the two influential presidential election runners in passports were mixed. Lee Nak-yeon, the Democratic Party’s representative who brought out the pardon for the two former presidents, Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, was in a situation where President Moon’s position in the party would be reduced by revealing virtually’opposite’ to the pardon. On the other hand, Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong, who was checked by the Democratic Party ahead of the second disaster basic income payment in Gyeonggi-do, has gained momentum in promoting the policy. This is because President Moon sent a’positive signal’ to Gyeonggi Province’s basic disaster income payment.

Regarding the amnesty that drew the most attention at the press conference that day, President Moon drew a line saying, “Now is not the time to speak.” “The trial process is just over. He opposes that the enormous governmental nongdan and power-type irregularities have been confirmed to be true, and the national damage has been severe. The justification was also clearly discussed. He also stressed that President Moon’s possibility of’pardoning within his term of office’, which remains for one year and four months, is “it cannot be a plan for integration unless the people agree.” On the 1st, Lee opposes the necessity of an amnesty that was drawn as a number of matches, and the controversy ended.
Right before the press conference, there were many observations from inside and outside the party that President Moon is likely to build Lee’s’face’ by drawing a line on the slopes, but leaving room for the future. Even around President Lee, he asked to pay attention to President Moon’s New Year’s press conference about the party’s opposition to the amnesty. However, as President Moon draws a line on the pardon that day, Lee, who is on the decline in approval ratings, also faced a more difficult situation in the presidential race. On this day, a Democratic Party member who took over the pro-moon, said, “The current of’Lee Nak-yeon’s departure from the family will accelerate further.” Immediately after the press conference on this day, a bulletin board of the Democratic Party member and the online community with a tendency to close friends even posted a post to the effect of “Resigning with responsibility” for Lee. On this afternoon, Lee visited Gwangju, his political’household’, and visited the 5·18 National Cemetery. Even at this meeting, some citizens protested with a hand sign stating’Amnesty withdrawal completely’.
However, President Moon actively responded to Lee’s other victory number, the’profit sharing system’. He said, “In the corona, there are some winners who have better corporate performance and earn money.” He said, “It would be very good if such companies could contribute to create funds to help small businessmen and self-employed people suffering from corona.” Representative Lee also commented on Facebook on the same day, “The President evaluated the benefit-sharing system promoted by the Democratic Party at my suggestion, even if it is desirable,” and said, “I will prepare attractive incentives to induce voluntary participation.”
Lee Jae-myeong took a sigh at the remarks of President Wen’s’Affirmation of Disaster Subsidies’

The one who laughed at President Moon’s press conference was Governor Lee Jae-myeong. Gyeonggi-do is currently pursuing a’secondary disaster basic income’ policy that provides 100,000 won per person to all Gyeonggi residents apart from the central government’s disaster subsidies. Accordingly, the Democratic Party and the government continued to send warning messages stating, “If Corona 19 is not calmed down, providing universal subsidies may cause confusion in quarantine.” However, President Moon said, “There are cases where government support alone is not enough, but it is possible to provide complementary support at the local level.” Immediately after the press conference of President Moon, Governor Lee replied, “I think that you understood and accepted Gyeonggi Province’s efforts to overcome the national crisis caused by Corona 19 and save people’s lives.”
