Jeong Seong-ho, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea, predicted that the possibility of former South Gyeongsang Province Governor Kim Kyeong-soo being included in the list of beneficiaries of the August 15 Liberation Day lottery is low.
The reason for this is that the ruling party is holding on to former Governor Kim as a card to divide the opposition party and will use him when signs of division in the opposition party appear.
Rep. Chung, who is the closest to former leader Lee Jae-myung and is called the chairman of the pro-Myeong faction, said on YTN Radio’s “News Fighting” on the 6th regarding whether former Governor Kim would be included in the special pardon and reinstatement for Liberation Day, “A pardon should be given for national unity, but the opposition party is likely to use the pardon card to divide the opposition rather than unite, so I don’t think it will be right now.”
He continued, “Former Governor Kim Kyung-soo is considered one of the so-called pro-Moon presidential candidates, isn’t he?” and predicted, “I think Governor Kim Kyung-soo should be reinstated because he has been treated unfairly, but I think the ruling party will use it to divide the opposition party at the right time.”
In other words, “With various voices coming out of the Democratic Party and signs of division ahead of the presidential election, wouldn’t the ruling party play the Governor Kim Kyung-soo reinstatement card?”
Rep. Chung, who has usually taken a cautious stance on the impeachment of President Yoon Seok-yeol, said, “Because of that, I am being criticized by those within the party who are calling for impeachment.” He then explained the reason for his cautious stance, saying, “Realistically, we fall short of 200 seats, and the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye was not done by the National Assembly, but by the people. 70-80% of the people said that she should be impeached, so it was passed.”
He also said, “Realistically, impeachment can be initiated, but it is difficult to pass the National Assembly, and the process itself could cause national chaos,” and that impeachment of the president is on a different level from impeachment of the chairman of the Korea Communications Commission.
Regarding the relationship with the Fatherland Innovation Party, which is moving to impeach the president, Rep. Chung distanced himself from the Innovation Party by saying, “The Fatherland Innovation Party has its own path and direction, and the Democratic Party has its own path.” He added, “We need to cooperate with each other on livelihood issues, but it is not easy to predict solidarity on the issue of the president’s impeachment, as each party has its own position.”
