Moon Jae-in, attack in the West Sea “Hope that security will not be surpassed as a topic of political dispute”

Former president Moon Jae-in said on the 1st of the prosecution’s investigation into the shooting of a public official in the West Sea, “I express great concern about the reckless action that neutralizes the security system.” Former President Moon’s position came a day before the court’s review of the warrant for former National Security Bureau chief Suh Hoon, for whom the prosecution requested an arrest warrant. It is interpreted as a warning that he will openly express his dissatisfaction with the prosecution’s investigation and take stricter measures according to the changing circumstances. The conflict between the new government and the old government is becoming more apparent.

Former President Moon said in a statement read at a press conference in the National Assembly by Yoon Gun-young, a member of the Democratic Party, who served as the head of the State Affairs Office of the Blue House, on the same day, ” The Western Sea Incident was when the president at the time personally listened to reports from the Ministry of National Defence, the Coast Guard, and the National Intelligence Service, and finally approved the report. “At the time, in a situation where it was impossible to clearly state the facts, the security ministries analyzed all the information and circumstances that could be obtained and estimated the facts as far as possible, and accepted the President of the judgment after looking directly at what is called special information,” he said.

Former President Moon said, “However, when the government changed, the ministry’s ruling, which was reported to the president and announced to the media, was reversed.” In addition, he said, “For that to happen, other possibilities must be presented for the victims to go into North Korean waters convincingly,” he said.

Former President Moon said, “I express my deep concern about such reckless actions that make security matters the subject of political controversy, trample on the pride of public officials who have long devoted themselves to national security, and neutralize the security system. ” He said, “Please don’t cross the road.”

This is the first time former President Moon has made an official statement regarding the prosecution’s investigation into the shooting of a public official in the West Sea. Previously, it was revealed that former President Moon expressed strong displeasure, saying he was “extremely rude” when he was informed of a written investigation related to this case by the Audit and Inspection Board in October.

After the interview, Rep. Yoon responded to reporters’ questions about the reason for former President Moon’s position, saying, “Although many facts have been revealed about the investigation into unreasonable political retaliation by Prosecutor Seok-Yeol Yoon through the examination of state affairs. and the difficult process, the investigation into political revenge against the previous government continues.” It appears to be the thoughts of committing the crime.” When asked if the prosecution informed former President Moon about the subpoena, Rep. Yoon said, “It’s not a subpoena distance, it’s just a prosecution investigation for political revenge,” and “there was no physical contact.”

The prosecution argued that day that Seo’s former boss was “the final decision-maker and the last person in charge” of the case. On whether or not former President Moon should be investigated, he said, “It is not appropriate to talk about the family situation.” There are comments that if Seo, the chief security officer of Moon Jae-in’s government, is arrested, the prosecution’s investigation could lead to former President Moon.

In this situation, it seems that former President Moon tried to emphasize the injustice of the prosecution’s investigation. After the regime change, former President Moon said, “Nothing has changed in the information and circumstances, but only the conclusions are the opposite.” Rep. Yoon said, “To be honest, nothing has changed. (Board of Audit and Inspection and the prosecution) claimed that the data had been deleted, but it was revealed several times that data was not being deleted,” he said. Rep. Yoon responded to a reporter’s inquiry saying, “If former President Moon makes a situation like this, it can be interpreted that he is the ultimate ruler.” I’m not going to tell you,” he said.

As the government and ruling party emphasize the legitimacy of the investigation and speed up the investigation and investigation, the conflict between the old and new governments and the ruling and opposition parties is expected to intensify in response to the public opposition of former President Moon. A key official in the presidential office met with reporters at the Yongsan presidential office building that day and responded to a question asking about “the position of the presidential office on former President Moon’s attack in the West Sea”, “It is not appropriate to the presidency. office to comment on the matter being investigated,” he said.
