On the 17th, the Democratic Party together raised a lot of Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae, who expressed appreciation to President Moon Jae-in on the previous day (16th). At the party’s policy coordination meeting, Kim Tae-nyeon, head of the house, said, “You strongly promoted the reform of the prosecution, and I pay homage to the decision.”
Sometime, the rumors of preparation for the last purge
Also mentioned as a candidate for the mayor of Seoul in the ruling party line
“Possibility of support by members of the parental rights party”
Successors Lee Yong-gu, So Byeong-cheol, Bong-wook, etc.
Rep. Kim Young-bae, former Blue House Civil Service Secretary, said, “The democracy of Korea will remember you.” It is a comparison of Minister Chu to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who was called the’Iron Woman’. President Moon praised Minister Chu’s expression of his gratitude and decision to move up the day before, and said, “We will consider whether to accept or not. I hope you will do your best to the end.” Despite the concern that “If Minister Chu disappears, President Moon and President Yoon will face each other directly”, the Democratic Party is still a prerequisite for the resignation of Minister Chu.
The analysis is that this atmosphere reflects the reality that the’conflict between Chu Miae and Yoon Seok-yeol’ is weighing on the approval ratings of the Blue House and the ruling party, and the expectation that the resignation of Minister Chu could act as a pressure on President Yun.
Kang Ki-jeong, former head of the Blue House, who appeared on the radio on the 17th, said that Chu’s expression of gratitude “will be repaired of course,” and said to President Yoon, “If you file an administrative lawsuit or request for suspension of execution, you must not forget that it is a fight with the president.” We have to accept why the discipline was done.”
On the other hand, Minister Chu paid a love song on the 17th and did not go to the Ministry of Justice. With the timing of Minister Chu’s retirement, a key member of the Blue House told reporters that day, “The President said that he was contemplating, so please keep an eye on it a little more.” “Even if you say hello right away, it will take more than two months, considering the candidate verification schedule such as a hearing.
Regarding Minister Chu, in the passport, it is predicted that there is a high likelihood of resigning after finishing the schedule of the high-ranking public officials criminal investigation office (airport office), which aims to launch in January of next year. In addition, some of the legal and political circles are circulating that “Minister Chu is preparing for the’last purge work’ for the prosecution.”
Currently, Minister Chu is working on a regular greeting to the prosecutors scheduled for January and February next year, and even if he withdraws before greeting, he is planning to leave after preparing for his successor to greet him according to his sketch.
One prosecution officer said, “There is a possibility that when Yoon is not present, there is a possibility that the prosecutors will try to replace the prosecutors with persons with a tendency to’parental power’.” “Prosecutors who stand on the side of President Yoon or conduct investigations that do not like the regime It could be the first liquidation.” Inside and outside the prosecution, there is even a possibility that the Ministry of Justice will advance personnel personnel early because of the organizational atmosphere.
Regarding the succession of Minister Chu, Vice Minister of Justice Yong-gu Yong-gu, who was recently appointed and led the discipline of President Yoon, Democratic Party Rep. So Byung-cheol, who served as the chief prosecutor of the Daegu High Prosecutors’ Office, and former Judge Beom-gye Park, former deputy chief prosecutor Bong-wook, and In-hoi Kim, professor at Inha University Law School. It is mentioned as a candidate.
Meanwhile, a prospect was raised by the Democratic Party that Chu could challenge the Seoul Mayor’s by-election in April next year after retiring, and in this case, the competition within the party could change rapidly. It is analyzed that there is a possibility that Chu, who had a bloody fight with Yoon, could receive the support of the rights party, who tends to be “chin-moon”, who has great influence in the party. The election candidates for the Democratic Party Leaders’ elections are held by adding 50% of the votes of the rights party and 50% of the public opinion polls. Even in the power of the people, there is a saying that “Suk-yeol Yoon vs. Chu Mi-ae” can hold an election, and it is not a bad card for our party in the sense that there is a justification for running for presidential-level politicians in the party. In order to run for election, the minister must resign by March 8.
