Political battle over former and incumbent president
Tak Hyun-min “I won’t correct diplomatic mistakes”
Shin Joo-ho “The behavior of a politician who has gone out of fashion”
Former Blue House protocol secretary Tak Hyeon-min pointed out that President Yoon Seok-yeol, who is visiting the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on the 16th, is not correcting the diplomatic mistake of placing his hand on his heart during the UAE national anthem. The passport is targeting former President Moon Jae-in’s ‘neighborhood bookstore’ and criticizing it as “intending to get involved in politics,” and the political battles surrounding the former and incumbent presidents are turning into emotional battles.
Former Secretary Tak mentioned on MBC radio that day that President Yoon saluted the national flag by raising his hand to his chest when the UAE national anthem was played following the national anthem at the official welcome ceremony at the UAE Presidential Palace in Abu Dhabi on the 15th (local time). It is a country that does not raise its hand when the national anthem comes out according to the custom of national ceremonies, but during state guest ceremonies around the world, it produced the appearance of becoming the only leader who raised his hand to the other country.” UAE officials also do not raise their hands when playing their national anthem, but only President Yoon put his hand on his chest, saying there is a problem with diplomatic protocol.
The power of the people was fierce for former President Moon’s announcement through a media interview that he planned to open a neighborhood bookstore (book cafe) called ‘Pyeongsan Village Bookstore’ in Pyeongsan Village, Habuk-myeon, Yangsan-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, where his sister-in-law is located, as early as next month. It was criticized that former President Moon, who recommended books and issued political messages around the corner even after leaving office, revealed his intention to radiate political messages through bookstores and rally supporters of pro-Moon (pro-Moon Jae-in) supporters.
Kim Jong-hyeok, a member of the Emergency Response Committee, sarcastically said on MBC Radio, “I kept saying that I wanted to live a life that was forgotten, but isn’t life after retirement a life of struggling not to be forgotten?” Deputy Spokesman Shin Ju-ho also commented, saying, “It is a former president who shows an exemplary behavior of an outdated politician.” Decorate,” he criticized.
