On the 11th, the People Power Party completed the formation of the party’s Nomination Management Committee, which will oversee candidate nominations ahead of the April 10 general election.
What attracted attention both inside and outside the party was the fact that Rep. Lee Cheol-gyu, a “core pro-Yoon” member, was accepted as a member of the party committee, as well as the fact that a number of personalities from the judiciary, profession and science joined from outside the party. In this regard, there were expectations within the party for “strict nominations” of non-politicians and other figures, but there were concerns about “pro-Yoon nominations” and criticism of a lack of diversity, such as the absence of people doing so could symbolize “normal members of society”. It’s contradictory.
Han Dong-hoon, chairman of the emergency committee, met with reporters after completing the appointment of the members of the diplomatic committee at the meeting of the emergency committee in Busan that day, and said that he met with the chairman of the diplomatic committee in person will take care of the nomination process, adding: “The nomination system has set rules and we will follow those rules.”
Particularly regarding the addition of Rep. Lee, a “key pro-Yoon figure” and chairman of the party’s talent recruitment committee, as a member of the diplomatic committee, he said, “The length of service on the diplomatic committee is shorter” than expected. We have no choice but to use the data that the party has already been collecting for several months.” “I thought it was necessary to include the head of the talent recruitment committee as one of the members of the embassy committee and make good use of this data” , he explained.
Regarding criticism that “morality” might play a role in Rep. Lee’s nomination, he also drew a line: “I and the Chairman of the Diplomatic Committee will make a fair nomination, a persuasive nomination and a winning nomination. “I think you’ll think your concerns were unfounded,” he said.
Even within the party, it is believed that this appointment will be helpful for the work of the diplomatic committee. This applies to the fact that Rep. Lee joined the diplomatic committee and appointed many people from the legal field, including Korea University Law School Professor Young-hwan Jeong, who was appointed chairman of the diplomatic committee, Yoo Il -jun, a former prosecutor and Blue House Secretary for Public Service Discipline, and Hye-young Moon, a lawyer at Sejong Law Firm. Here is the explanation.
Re-elected MP Lee Yong-ho held a press conference on his candidacy in Mapo-gap, Seoul, saying: “I understand that since it is the ruling party, there may be some areas where communication with the “The office of president is necessary.” “I think we will listen and settle the matter fairly,” he said.
On the other hand, it was noted that the composition of the official committee raised concerns within the party about the “pro-Yoon appointment.” The explanation is that Rep. Lee, known as the main pro-Yoon member of the National Assembly, is a re-elected politician who previously held several party positions, including that of general secretary, and is the person who knows the most information on various party candidates in the official body, so his influence will certainly be great.
An official within the party said, “Rep. Lee is virtually the only person who can explain detailed stories about each candidate to outside official committee members. It’s clear that his ruling will have an absolutely huge impact.” He added: “Rep. Lee is the real faction within the party. “It is true that it is not clear, but it is self-evident that it is the ‘pro-Yun core’. The result is a bittersweet experience,” he said. Another official commented: “I thought they were appointing an ‘agent’ but it was an appointment that seemed a bit obvious to me.”
Attention is also drawn to the diversity of the composition of the diplomatic committee. It is noted that there is no person who symbolizes the life of ordinary people or the politics necessary for it. The fact that many people “born in the 1970s” were present at this appointment is also not considered convincing.
Another official within the party said: “The members of the external diplomatic committee are also lawyers, university professors and CEOs of large consulting companies. There are no special people who could be called “ordinary citizens”. They say half of them were born in But I don’t know if that’s such an important fact.” “I worry about whether those who belong to the top class can symbolize the common life of their generation, and whether the standards for assessing candidates these are the same,” he said.
However, Chairman Han emphasized principles such as fair nomination several times. He said that day: “(I) don’t know anyone in this party. I am not a melancholic (emotional) person who would push someone out of the party as an ‘acquaintance’.” He added: “There may be different opinions, but as I said: “I will do my best according to the principles”, he said.
