[매경DB]The Democratic Party of Korea is considering a plan to reject the hearing of Justice Minister candidate Han Dong-hoon. The Yun Seok-yeol government has been hit by the wall of the 172-seat Democratic Party since its first cabinet appointment. As a strong confrontation ensues, the political situation is expected to freeze sharply. The People’s Power and the Presidential Transition Committee responded, saying, “I feel the fear of the Democratic Party.”
On the 17th, the ruling and opposition parties continued to fight over the ‘Handong-Hun Hearing’. The opening ceremony was held by Min Hyung-bae, head of the Democratic Party’s Personnel Hearing Preparation Task Force (TF). Director Min strongly criticized one candidate in an interview with YTN Radio on the 15th, saying, “It seems that it is not appropriate to recommend him to the National Assembly as a candidate.” At the same time, he suggested the possibility of a boycott, saying, “We are reviewing whether the personnel hearing itself should be rejected.” In 2019, the Liberty Korea Party (currently the People’s Power) took out a card for pressure, just as it considered boycotting the hearing of former Justice Minister Cho Kuk. “President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol and a candidate have been living as political prosecutors from the very beginning,” said Min. He then criticized, “That’s why it’s necessary to let them step into the hearing.”
But the inside is quite different. They are worried that a candidate may emerge as the ‘second Yun Seok-yeol’. It is interpreted that the stronger the confrontation at the hearing, the more wary of the possibility of a headwind. Director Min also worried that “a candidate will intentionally continue to provocatively and try to increase the weight class.”
The People’s Power pressed for a hearing. People’s Power Representative Lee Jun-seok said through social networking service (SNS), “I feel the fear of the Democratic Party.” He also pointed out, “If you face a target that has been subjected to collective lynching, you are trying to avoid it because your shameful past behavior will be revealed in 100 days.”
Heo Eun-ah, senior spokesperson for the People’s Power, also wrote on SNS, “The Democratic Party was afraid that it would raise a candidate’s weight class.” He added, “Have not Ministers Choo Mi-ae, Cho Kuk, and Park Beom-gye already experienced the weight class of a candidate that gets bigger the more they beat them with forced claims?” He said, sarcastically. .
The party of President-elect Yoon also set a point for the Democratic Party. It was framed that the first party, the Democratic Party, had neglected the duties of the National Assembly. “Is it a common sense for the people to selectively refuse to hold any hearings from the party’s strategic standpoint?” said Bae Hyun-jin, the elected spokesperson. did. One candidate is controversial because of △ increasing the deposit for jeonse, △ conflicts of interest between spouses, △ sexual harassment of relatives, and △ holding Samsung Electronics stocks by her children.
