The controversy over the pardon for the former president, which the Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon threw as a topic for the new year, has ended. President Moon Jae-in said at a New Year’s press conference on the 18th, “Now is not the time to say pardon.”
President Moon Jae-in is answering a reporter’s question at a New Year’s press conference held at the Blue House Chunchu Hall on the 18th. At an interview that day, President Moon drew a line on the amnesty theory raised by the Democratic Party leader Lee Nak-yeon, saying, “Now is not the time to discuss amnesty.” yunhap news

President Moon did not mention Lee directly, but said, “I don’t think that the president and other politicians have the right to say pardon as soon as the sentence is over.” In the meantime, the observation that “there must have been prior consultations with President Moon in the background of raising the amnesty theory” has been dominant.
President Moon suggested “building a national consensus” as a condition for amnesty. The criteria for judging consensus were not specifically described. However, he said, “The common sense of the people will not tolerate the movement to deny past mistakes and demand pardons in the face of not acknowledging the results of the trial.” An analysis found that it was similar to the ruling party’s position, which presented the former president’s apology as a premise of pardon.
In politics, the observation that the amnesty is not completely extinguished is predominant.
In fact, President Moon left a room, saying, “I think it is worth listening to the opinion of achieving national unity through amnesty. Someday when the appropriate time comes, the time will come for deeper thoughts.”
It is also noteworthy that President Moon made a remark that seemed to surround Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol and Auditor General Choi Jae-hyung.
President Moon first said of Yun as “In a word, the prosecutor general of the Moon Jae-in administration.” He said, “I do not think that Yoon is acting as the prosecutor general while thinking of politics with politics in mind.” “The conflict between Mi-ae Chu and Seok-yeol Yoon” was also evaluated as “democratism is developing healthier.” There is a considerable temperature difference from the position of the passport that has launched a general offensive against Yun.

President Moon also designated the subject of disciplinary action as the’Minister of Justice’, saying, “The judiciary has made a decision to suspend execution of the Minister of Justice’s disciplinary action and whether the disciplinary is eligible for disciplinary action in the main bill is being properly divided.” . President Moon reapproved a disciplinary proposal for President Yoon, submitted by Minister Chu on the 16th of last month, differing from the nuances that he said, “I am particularly grateful for faithfully fulfilling the duties assigned by the times.”
President Moon said, “I don’t think it’s an audit for political purposes,” even for the audit of nuclear power plants led by Choi Jae-hyung. Following the evaluation of the economic feasibility of the Wolseong nuclear power plant shutdown last year, the Board of Audit and Inspection has been auditing the procedural legitimacy of the process of promoting the’post-nuclear power plant policy’ from the 11th. In response, in the passport, “Following President Yoon, Director Choi has surpassed the degree. There are criticisms such as “I am clearly in politics” (Former President Lim Jong-seok, chief of the presidential secretary).
Professor Ahn Byung-jin of Kyung Hee University said, “The background of the remarks that draw a line on the slope, which has become the subject of a new conflict, and surround Yoon Seok-yeol and Choi Jae-hyeong, should be viewed as a warning and a message of integration not to expand unnecessary politics or conflict toward the passport.” It is regrettable that the President’s remarks that the auditor had played its natural role were a bit late.”
In politics, on the other hand, when referring to President Moon’s comment that “President Yoon has no intention of politics,” there is a saying that “the intention is to put President Yoon’s political position in the passport.”
President Moon said on the investigation on the Wolseong nuclear power plant that day, “It is only an investigation into the case of a transfer, and I do not think that an investigation for political purposes is being conducted.” Also, regarding the procedural legitimacy audit of the’pre-nuclear power’ promotion process currently underway by the Audit Office, he said, “I know that the audit is conducted to the minimum extent because there was a request for public interest audit.” There was also a criticism that it was presented.

– President Moon said on the debate about’selection or universal’ over the Corona Disaster Subsidy, “it is not possible to divide that way, and it is a matter of choosing a method according to the economic situation.”
This is interpreted as a remark in consideration of both Gyeonggi Governor Lee Jae-myeong and Deputy Prime Minister Hong Nam-ki, who are in conflict over the support method.
In particular, regarding the decision of Governor Lee to pay 100,000 won of basic disaster income to the citizens of Gyeonggi Province, “the government support is not sufficient. The local government’s job to supplement this can be done.” Governor Lee immediately replied, saying, “He understood and accepted the efforts of Gyeonggi-do,” and “We will do our best that our financial capacity allows.”
