Appointment of Chief of Staff to the President and Prime Minister has not been decided.
Yu expressed his position at the Cabinet meeting today.
Confused, unable to find clues to party reform
野 “Special Prosecutor Chae Sang-byeong, Yeon is also a target of investigation”
On the 15th, the sixth day of the crushing defeat in the April 10 general election, the President’s Office and the People Power Party continued to be in a state of confusion, unable to find any clues to personnel reform and party system maintenance to overcome the defeat. President Yoon Seok-yeol was unable to decide on the appointment of the Chief of Staff and the Prime Minister, which were the first steps in reforming state affairs, and the ruling party only decided on a policy that it should go to the Emergency Response Committee, but failed to take the first step in concrete party reform, let alone analyzing the causes of the crushing defeat. On this day, the Democratic Party of Korea reaffirmed its policy to handle the ‘Special Prosecution Act on suspicions of external pressure in the death of Corporal Chae’ at the plenary session next month and announced, “President Yoon is included in the investigation target of the Special Prosecution Act.” In a situation where the Democratic Party is intensifying its lending offensive with the special prosecutor’s political situation at the forefront, there are predictions that if President Yoon does not find a clue to cooperation with the Democratic Party, confusion in the ruling party in the President’s Office may increase.
It is reported that President Yoon will express his position on the election defeat in the form of a statement at the Cabinet meeting on the 16th and deliver a message that he will do his best to stabilize the people’s livelihood. An official from the President’s Office said on the 15th, “We will fix the shortcomings,” and “People’s livelihood is our top priority.” At his weekly meeting with Prime Minister Han Deok-soo, President Yoon also said, “The priority of state administration is ‘the people’s livelihood and the people’s livelihood,’” and requested, “Please reexamine the working atmosphere and public service discipline of the public service community.” This is a warning to the relaxation of the public service community following the crushing defeat in the general election and emphasized the will to pursue national tasks. However, as President Yoon chose to use a full statement at the Cabinet meeting rather than a public address or a press conference to reveal his position on the crushing defeat in the general election, it is pointed out that this is ‘one-way communication’.
It has been reported that the President’s Office has also begun procedures to prepare for the possibility of a cabinet reshuffle in some ministries, including the Ministry of Science and ICT, the Ministry of Employment and Labor, the Ministry of Health and Welfare, and the Ministry of Education. President Yoon continues to deliberate over the selection of a successor prime minister and chief of staff. Former Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport Won Hee-ryong was once considered as the chief secretary, but the number of verification targets has increased. It is known that People Power Party lawmaker Jeong Jin-seok and former Saenuri Party leader Lee Jeong-hyun are being considered. People Power Party lawmaker Kwon Young-se, who was mentioned to be prime minister, also faced the burden of being a Seoul National University law school graduate and prosecutor. Multiple people, including People Power Party lawmaker Joo Ho-young, North Gyeongsang Province Governor Lee Cheol-woo, and former National Assembly Vice Speaker Park Joo-seon, were put on the verification stand.
On this day, the People Power Party held a meeting of senior elected officials who had served four or more terms, the first official meeting following the crushing defeat in the general election, but it ended after one hour without any discussion on specific party reform plans or analysis of the causes of the defeat. After the meeting, Yoon Jae-ok, floor leader of the People Power Party and acting party leader, said, “(According to the party constitution and regulations), in order to hold a national convention, it must go through a non-presidential committee,” and added, “We will decide the final direction through the general meeting of elected officials tomorrow (16th).” . If the new emergency committee is launched, it will be the fourth since the launch of the Yoon Seok-yeol administration.
