“Won, knowing late and warning Park Bum-gye”…

The Blue House admitted on the 17th that “Senior Min Jeong-soo Shin expressed his gratitude several times.” Justice Minister Park Beom-gye’passed’ Shin’s senior prosecutor’s personnel plan and virtually handed it over to President Moon Jae-in as the direct cause of the statement.

A senior Blue House official met with reporters on the day and said, “In the personnel process announced on the 7th, the opinions of the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution were different, and there were disagreements in the process of coordinating them.” Said. He said, “The direction of the personnel desired by the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution was different, and the chief civil servant tried to mediate, but during the mediation, a personnel announcement was made, and Shin expressed his appreciation.”

Minister Park and Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol met on the 2nd and 5th to discuss the prosecution’s personnel plans. General Yoon called for the replacement of the chiefs of the Supreme Swordsman who took the lead in disciplining himself, including Seoul Central District Prosecutors’ Office, Lee Seong-yoon, who is the’Chumi Ae Line’. However, Minister Park refused to do so, skipping chief Shin, who was adjusting disagreements, and announced greetings on Sunday, the 7th.

The Cheong Wa Dae said, “It is true that the procedure for the Minister Park to carry out his arguments was carried out at will, and the President’s approval (before the announcement of the greeting)”, but regarding the specific process of approval, it is not appropriate to disclose the decision making process in detail. I saved my words.

In this regard, a passport official who was well versed in the relevant contents told the JoongAng Ilbo that “Minister Park asked President Moon directly for appropriation while violating the business process of the Blue House that’in order to avoid objection from Chief Shin Seems to be,” he said.

The official said, “There is a possibility that Minister Park directly contacted President Moon to report the personnel plan, or sent only a very formal proposal to Chief Shin, and then reported important details to President Moon separately.”

It is explained that President Moon, who received the report from Minister Park, immediately approved the proposal, seeing that consultations with the chief office had already been made. However, when he learned of this, President Shin expressed his appreciation, and President Moon belatedly recognized that a proposal that had not been negotiated had been reported, and sent a warning message to Minister Park by holding him back, a passport official said.

However, there are counterarguments that it is difficult to understand the explanation that “President Moon, who has witnessed the conflict between the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution for more than a year, reapproved the personnel plan without knowing whether to reconcile.

Anyway, Shin, who solidified his gratitude through this process, said, “I can’t live with my pride,” and “I can’t do a senior job anymore,” and acquaintances said that he still has no intention of resigning.

His acquaintance told the JoongAng Ilbo, “Senior Shin had the idea that Min Jeong had the authority to postpone the proposal after presenting an opinion that’there is a need for additional consultations’ for the unilateral proposal of Minister Park.” It means that if Minister Park had gone through the normal proposal process, Chief Shin would have stopped it.

Regarding the current situation in which Chief Shin is not dismissing despite President Moon’s repeated regrets, the passport says, “Not only is Park’s personnel passing, but also the structural contradiction that he cannot use at all, and the prosecution reform theory within the ruling party. According to observations, “Chief Shin must have decided to resign because of complaints against President Moon.”

Shin is the first prosecutor of the Moon Jae-in administration and is the first chief civilian prosecutor. It was a different figure considering the fact that the former chief civil servants Kim Jo-won and Kim Jong-ho, who were former scholarly fathers and former auditors, drove the prosecution as a target for reform. So, an interpretation of his appointment was interpreted as “President Moon’s will to end the conflict with the prosecution, which has been around for more than a year, such as the’The Motherland Incident’ and the’Chu-Yoon Conflict’.”

At a New Year’s press conference last month, shortly after appointing him, who was also close to Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, as chief civil servant, President Moon said, “In a word, President Yoon is the prosecutor general of the Moon Jae-in administration,” and “I expect that there will be no conflict that concerns the people again.” He also said.

In fact, Shin said he focused on the role of mediating conflict with the prosecution at the will of President Moon. An official from the passport said, “However, on the 4th, the prosecution instructed the Wolseong nuclear power plant to manipulate the economic feasibility of the 1st nuclear power plant, and requested an arrest warrant for the former Minister of Trade, Industry and Energy. There is a possibility that it changed into a strong economic group.”

The Democratic Party is also struggling with the prosecution. Attempts to take the power of investigation from the prosecution are raising a sharp pitch in the name of’Prosecution Reform Season 2′.

In a phone call with the JoongAng Ilbo, a political official said, “Shin showed a negative view on the Democratic Party’s so-called’Prosecution Reform Season 2’initiative.” “The expression was not very good.” Said.

The official said, “I know that Shin expressed his appreciation as his role of’resolving the conflict between the Ministry of Justice and the prosecution’ was revealed, and he felt helpless to beat the prosecution in his passport.”

There are also observations that the possibility of receiving Shin’s resignation has decreased as the conflict structure inside the passport is revealed more clearly.

The key figure of the passport said, “The extraordinary announcement of Chief Executive Shin’s statement by the Blue House can be seen as a de facto warning to Minister Park. This is a way to withdraw his appreciation by himself through a method that builds up Chief Shin’s pride. It is interpreted as an attempt to try.”

In the political world, an analysis says, “If Shin is hardly punished for improving relations with the prosecution, it will have the effect of re-declaring an all-out war with the prosecution.”

In addition, there is a prospect that President Moon, who has entered the end of his term of office, will rapidly fall into a lame duck if he fails to resolve the conflict between the Attorney General and the Blue House chief following the conflict between Chu Miae and Yoon Seok-yeol.

Meanwhile, the Blue House jumped on media reports that Park had a conflict between Chief Shin and Lee Gwang-cheol, discussing the personnel plan with his subordinate, Civil Service Secretary Lee Kwang-cheol, excluding Chief Shin.
A senior Blue House official said, “The opinions of Chief Shin and Secretary Lee were the same. In my honor, (conflict theory) is not true.”

If the conflict between Secretary Lee and Chief Shin, who is close to former Minister Cho Kook, expands, it seems that they are concerned that the excommunication will spread out of control.

However, in spite of the Blue House’s denial, the passport says, “Unlike Chief Shin, who tried to resolve the conflict with the prosecution, I know that this secretary has defined the prosecution as a de facto enemy against reform.” There is a possibility that the proposal process may have been carried out by communicating with this secretary, an aide to former Justice Minister Cho Kook.”
