Recently, South Korea's ** Moon Jae-in said at a press conference that he refused to grant amnesty to the former ** Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, which means that these two people will have to stay in prison for more than ten or twenty years. Up to now, Lee Myung-bak is already the fourth person in South Korea to be in prison, and almost no one has a good ending before taking office, either death or imprisonment, which is rare in the world, and it is no wonder that many people joke that South Korea is one of the most dangerous occupations in the world.
Roh Moo-hyun: The tragic death and friendship legend of the grassroots **.
In 1987, South Korea came to the era of popular elections. The next person to take office is called Roh Moo-hyun, and he is a representative of the grassroots counterattack. Roh Moo-hyun came from a poor background, did not have a high education, and only attended a vocational high school, and he worked and self-taught at the same time, and it took him ten years to pass the bar exam and become a lawyer. In 2003, Roh Moo-hyun was elected with the support of Kim Dae-jung, he had a good relationship with North Korea when he was in office, and he once crossed the 38th parallel on foot to meet with the then North Korean leader Kim Il Sung, and also advocated clean politics.
After leaving office, Roh Moo-hyun returned to the countryside and became an ordinary villager. He also started a blog to record his quiet life after retirement. However, this civilian** was still planted on his family**. In December 2008, South Korea said that Roh Moo-hyun had $1 million before leaving office, but in fact it was received by Mrs. Roh Moo-hyun without his knowledge. Although the prosecutor has not been able to find evidence of Roh Moo-hyun himself, Roh Moo-hyun himself is extremely uncomfortable, he has been innocent all his life, and finally retired safely, but his wife has caused such a big scandal. Tormented by guilt, on May 23, 2009, Roh Moo-hyun committed suicide by jumping off a cliff to apologize for his crimes.
Roh Moo-hyun's death shocked South Korea, and hundreds of thousands of people spontaneously took to the streets at the funeral. There is another person who is in great grief, and that is Moon Jae-in, the current ** of South Korea. Moon Jae-in is Roh Moo-hyun's best friend, both of them are lawyers, they have defended the rights of the people at the bottom together, carried guns together, squatted in prison together, fought for their ideals together, experienced countless difficulties together, and are genuine friends of life and death. After Roh Moo-hyun was elected, Moon Jae-in became his confidant, and he has been silently assisting Roh Moo-hyun and never giving up. When Roh Moo-hyun was **, Moon Jae-in, who was far away, rushed back to form a lawyer group to defend Roh Moo-hyun.
After Roh Moo-hyun's death, many people thought that this was the political ** of his successor Lee Myung-bak and the opposition, and it was a "reckoning with his predecessor**". Moon Jae-in also thinks so, he began to run for ** after Lee Myung-bak stepped down, wanting "revenge", but he still narrowly lost to Park Geun-hye.
Park Geun-hye: The tragic fall of the political queen and the end of the power scheme.
After Park Geun-hye took office, we are relatively familiar with it. Relying on his father's previous prestige, and his declaration of not marrying and vowing to "marry the country", Park Geun-hye's international image was actually relatively good at the beginning, but there is no leaky wall in the world, Park Geun-hye's best friend Choi Soon-sil "went through the back door" for her daughter to go to college, and then involved a lot of messy things behind her back, and the people found out that this seemingly kind female ** not only accepted bribes, but also was a "puppet" of a cult. After the scandal, the National Assembly passed the *** Park Geun-hye became the first person in South Korean history to be ***, and she was sentenced to 24 years for multiple crimes such as ** and abuse of power.
Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye fell one after another, and Moon Jae-in sat in the position of **, which can be regarded as "revenge". But some people say that Moon Jae-in's fate may not be much better, because he has been rectifying the corrupt atmosphere that has been formed since taking office, and has offended the chaebol.
Since coming to power, Moon Jae-in has consciously wanted to reform South Korea's succession system, proposing to reform South Korea's first-class term of office to become a four-year term that can be re-elected once like the United States. The purpose is to give the incumbent more time to complete his political demands.
He also wants to restructure the prosecutorial class. Prosecutors in South Korea are different from other countries in that they have much more power and can even influence**. Once a new ** is elected, the prosecutors will try their best to cooperate with the new ** to clear the previous forces. This act is used as a "petition for nomination", so that the prosecutor can continue to hold his power, no matter which party he is replaced, he will ultimately have to rely on the prosecutor to carry out political battles. But Moon Jae-in is determined to break this cycle and wants to reform the prosecutor's office, which of course has been strongly dissatisfied and resisted by prosecutors.
South Korea has always had the saying that the Blue House is "cursed", but in fact, the reason is the contradiction and struggle between the conservative forces and the democratic progressive forces. Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye are conservatives, while Roh Moo-hyun and Moon Jae-in are both pro-progressives. During Roh Moo-hyun's administration, in order to crack down on conservatives, a special bill was introduced, according to which South Korea recognized pro-Japanese elements as anti-nationalists, and ** had the right to dispose of their property. More than 400 people were involved at the time, including Park Chung-hee. Roh Moo-hyun was later "framed", apparently in connection with his previous purges. If you block people's money, it will be difficult to die well. Now that Moon Jae-in has refused to grant amnesty to Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye, in addition to the damage caused to the country by their corrupt practices, there is certainly an element of struggle between the two sides.
South Korea's struggle has always been cruel, Kim Yong-sam sent his first two to prison, and Moon Jae-in also sent his first two to prison. Moon Jae-in's approval ratings were high when he first came to power, but now they are declining significantly. If the DPP wins the first victory later, Moon Jae-in should not be affected, but if the conservatives win again, they will inevitably launch a large-scale counterattack against it. I wonder if Moon Jae-in will be able to break the "curse" of the Blue House after his term ends.
The vicissitudes of South Korea, their bumpy fate and political struggles constitute an embarrassing history. The article details the ups and downs of South Korea's successive generations, among which the stories of Roh Moo-hyun and Park Geun-hye are particularly thought-provoking.
First of all, Roh Moo-hyun's grassroots counterattack is admirable. As a lawyer from an ordinary background, he worked hard to enter the political arena and became the first grassroots in Korean history. However, his tragic end reveals the harsh reality of the power struggle. The scandal of his family made Roh Moo-hyun feel guilty, and finally chose to apologize with his life, which is undoubtedly a political tragedy. His death not only shook the whole country, but also made people reflect deeply on the living environment of politicians.
Park's story is even more bizarre. In the beginning, she won people's trust with her family prestige and incorruptible image, becoming the first woman in Korean history**. However, with the outbreak of the "girlfriend door" scandal, her image quickly collapsed. Park Geun-hye was sentenced to 24 years in prison and degenerated into a political puppet. Her experience has revealed the intrigue and corruption in politics, raising awareness of the abuse of power and the dark side of politics.
After Moon Jae-in came to power, he tried to reform South Korea's political system, especially the succession system and the prosecutor's office. His actions showed dissatisfaction with corruption and sought to break the vicious circle of political struggle. However, this move was also fiercely opposed by prosecutors, demonstrating the strength of the power and the resolute resistance of the anti-reform forces. Mr. Moon's fate in this political maelstrom is also under scrutiny.
Overall, the story of South Korea is a microcosm of the fight against corruption and political intriguery. Each of them is facing tremendous political pressure and interference from different forces. The fate of successive leaders has either fallen or been brilliant, reflecting the complexity and predicament of South Korea's political system. In the process, one can't help but wonder what politicians are fighting for, and what is the true meaning of powerThe story of South Korea** is not only a testimony to its local history, but also a profound reflection on the global political system.
