Candidate Yoon did not respond to a question about the representative corruption among the remarks of candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, the People’s Power, that he would investigate the corruption of the Moon Jae-in government when he came to power. He also did not comply with President Moon’s request for an apology.
The remarks made by Candidate Seok-Yeol Yoon in an interview with the JoongAng Ilbo on the 9th have become a hot topic as even President Moon Jae-in reacted at the end of the presidential election. The problem is that Yun’s remarks contained the meaning of a declaration that he would publicly take political retaliation even before he was elected. Also, there is a lot of backlash in that he spoke without providing a clear basis for what Candidate Yoon could call ‘corruption’ and whether the prosecutor’s investigation target under the Moon Jae-in administration could be called ‘corruption’. Candidate Yoon did not even respond to reporters’ questions.
Does Yun Seok-yeol’s remarks on corruption investigations mean a declaration of political retaliation?
First of all, does Candidate Yoon’s remarks have any meaning of political retaliation? According to the JoongAng Ilbo, Candidate Yoon answered, “If you come to power, will you investigate the corruption of the previous administration?” I have to. (Investigation) should be done.”
Minjoo Party floor leader Yun Ho-jung and other passports protested even calling it ‘evil’, recalling the death of former President Roh Moo-hyun under investigation by the Lee Myung-bak administration in 2008. The problem is that candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, who served as the Seoul Central District Prosecutor’s Office and Prosecutor General for four out of five years in power under the current government, should have completed his investigation when he saw the Moon Jae-in administration’s corruption case, and said that he should investigate it as a presidential candidate using the expression ‘corruption’. to be. Most of the cases raised after the investigation into former Justice Minister Cho Kuk have been prosecuted and the trial is ongoing. It is unclear whether they intend to further investigate this or whether they intend to investigate other unknown cases. This reason creates a backlash as to whether it is an investigation into retaliation for the dusting.
In an interview article, Candidate Yoon asked, “What they did is the law and principles, and is it retaliation if the next government investigates their corruption? It’s retaliation, and that frame doesn’t fit.”
What is ‘Redemption’
President Moon, who had refrained from speaking during the presidential election, strongly protested against Yun’s remarks. Why did even President Moon express his anger and discomfort? It is an interpretation of the symbolism of the word redemption. News Top CEO Kim Jun-il appeared on CBS Radio’s ‘Kim Hyeon-jung’s News Show’ on the morning of the 11th and said, “President Moon Jae-in himself had the will to become a ‘successful president’ and pride that ‘there is no power-type corruption in this government’. It seems that the nuances of those who accept it are different.” He said, “When the Blue House calls an investigation into corruption, it means to accept that ‘we are on the same level as Park Geun-hye, what did we do wrong at the state government nongdan level? Everyone has different nuances of corruption in their daily life, such as ‘It’s all bad money’,” he analyzed. The expression “cleaning up the corruption” was used by a reporter from the JoongAng Ilbo while asking a question. For this reason, it is explained that President Moon reacted by using the word ‘anger’.
President Moon Jae-in has been using the term “cleaning up corruption” even before he took office. In particular, President Moon has promised to eradicate corruption even during his candidacy. President Moon placed ‘Clearing Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye’s 9-year government corruption’ in the very first page of the Democratic Party’s presidential campaign promises released on April 28, 2017, △ Clearing the corruption of Park Geun-hye and Choi Soon-sil state affairs, △ Eliminating the corruption of the Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye administrations for 9 years. He pledged to liquidate the cultural blacklist, abolish state history textbooks, eradicate corruption in the defense project, and audit the ‘Citizens’ Public Interest Committee’ to prevent corruption in the K-Sports and Mir Foundation’s politics and business. In order to clear the corruption of Park Geun-hye and Choi Soon-sil National Nongdan, President Moon set up the ‘Special Investigation Committee (tentative name)’ to investigate and prevent recurrence of state-run nongdan, and to prepare measures to prevent recurrence; He emphasized the investigation of various allegations, the fact-finding and supplementary investigation, and the preparation of comprehensive countermeasures for related issues and follow-up measures such as promoting the transfer of wealth to the state.
What does the Moon Jae-in government mean? Yoon Seok-yeol “I won’t talk”
The meaning of the Moon Jae-in administration’s corruption seems to mean all kinds of corruption and deep-rooted political and business ties during the nine years of Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye’s government, which emerged as a result of Park Geun-hye and Choi Soon-sil’s state affairs.
If so, what does candidate Yoon Seok-yeol say about the evils of the Moon Jae-in government? In an interview with JoongAng Ilbo, Candidate Yoon said, “How many crimes did the Democratic Party regime commit using the prosecution? We have to take responsibility for that.” However, he did not disclose what the crime was using the prosecution.
Candidate Yoon said, “Well, I think it would be better not to talk about that today,” said a reporter at a back briefing after finishing his greetings on the 10th. answered. Then, in response to the question, ‘President Moon and the Blue House told me to apologize, are you willing to apologize?’, Candidate Yoon answered, “I’ve already told you everything. I’m just saying that President Moon’s thoughts and mine are the same,” he said.
When asked about his views on President Moon’s request for an apology, Candidate Yoon said, “President Moon has always emphasized the absence of sanctuary in accordance with the law and principles, and I also believe that power-type corruption and corruption should always be dealt with by the law, principles and a fair system. I have been telling you, and there is no change at all from when I was serving in the prosecution service, starting with politics, until today. Candidate Yoon said, “There is no word for political retaliation in Yun Seok-yeol’s dictionary. I have been offering it since summer,” he said.
The passport is urging us to reveal specific examples of the Moon Jae-in government’s corruption. At a briefing at the central party on the morning of the 11th, Park Gwang-on, director of public affairs for the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, Park Gwang-on, said, “Reporters in the field also ask for examples of the corruption in the Moon Jae-in government, but candidate Yoon Seok-yeol does not give an answer or apologize, he just avoids it.” The alumni replied, “I will abolish the senior office.” Director Park said, “Since the early days of his administration, the Moon Jae-in administration has kept a distance from the prosecution in order to protect the independence of the prosecution without appointing a former prosecutor as the chief of civil affairs. He urged, “I hope that you will properly apologize for the remarks of political retaliation that will shake the country and accuse the current government of corruption without any basis.”
Will it affect the presidential election?
It is of interest whether such remarks will affect the presidential election. News Top CEO Kim Jun-il, on the 11th ‘Kim Hyun-jung’s News Show’, asked whether the Democratic Party would win if both Jin-young gathered with this remark from Candidate Yoon on the 11th, and said, “The Democratic Party lost the 2012 presidential election 48 to 51 in a bilateral structure. In the 2017 presidential election, Shim Sang-jung, Moon Jae-in’s candidate, combined, is 47%.” He said, “When we talked about the retaliatory investigation, the key is whether we can attract the middle class. ” he said.
