In the proposal for dismissal from the Democratic Party, Minister of Foreign Affairs Park Jin took strict action as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, as the Minister of Foreign Affairs Yoon Seok-yeol's diplomatic tour to Britain, the United States, and Canada from the 18th to the 24th, ended in an unprecedented diplomatic disaster, which resulted in damage to national dignity and damage to national interests. You have to take one responsibility."
There are five specific reasons for recommending the dismissal: ▲ Controversy over the failure to pay condolences to Queen Elizabeth II of England ▲ Failure to hold formal summits between the United States and Korea and Japan ▲ Controversy over inappropriate remarks by President Yoon immediately after a 48-second conversation with US President Biden ▲ House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's 'passing' controversy ▲ Civilian Mr. Shin's accompanying NATO tour controversy.
The proposal for dismissal continued, "The government's summit diplomacy and economic diplomacy over the past five months since the inauguration of the Yun Seok-Yeol administration failed in all aspects, including the process, form, and content." He criticized the Yun Seok-yeol administration's diplomacy, saying, "It was a series of total incompetence and incompetence, and in particular, the trip to Britain, the US and Canada for 7 days and 5 nights will be recorded as an unprecedented diplomatic catastrophe in which all these issues are fully revealed."
Democratic Party Chairman Lee Jae-myung said at the general assembly of the National Assembly, "It is really not right to talk about sanctions that make people doubt the ears of the people when they can't even confirm what they said." It seems to be for criticism.

The core of this Congress is damage to national interest and dignity, and a threat to the people.
In order to find out the truth, it is normal for the person speaking to say something like, 'I said something, but it's being misrepresented'.
But I don't think it's really right to talk about sanctions that make people doubt the ears of the people when they can't even confirm what they said.
The proposal for dismissal is not compulsory, but...
Shortly after the Democratic Party's general assembly, the proposal for the dismissal of Minister Park Jin was submitted to the agenda section of the National Assembly.

The proposal for the dismissal of a member of the State Council is the function of the National Assembly to check the executive branch of the Constitution as stipulated in Article 63 of the Constitution.
It is decided by a majority (150) of the members of the House of Representatives, and a majority (150) votes in favor of one-third (100) of the total number of lawmakers.
The proposal for dismissal is automatically reported to the first plenary session, and it is put to a vote (anonymous ballot) within 24 to 72 hours.
The Democratic Party plans to handle the proposal for dismissal at the National Assembly plenary session to be held the day after tomorrow (29th).
Under the current '87 Constitution' system, the proposal for dismissal has been passed three times in all.
In August 2001, during the Kim Dae-jung administration, the Minister of Unification Lim Dong-won was dismissed.
The two ministers each resigned in the form of voluntary resignation.
In September 2016, the Democratic Party, which was the opposition party during the Park Geun-hye administration, proposed and passed a proposal to dismiss Kim Jae-soo, Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
As can be seen in the case of former Minister Kim Jae-soo, there is no compulsion in the proposal for dismissal.
The president has the power to veto.
However, it can be seen that the reason that the Democratic Party proposed the dismissal proposal without coercion is because of its great political significance.
Minister Park Jin, who is a party to the proposal for dismissal, said, "Diplomacy is the most important line to protect the national interest. I got a reaction.

Diplomacy is the marginal line of protecting the national interest.
Now all countries in the world are in a fierce competition for survival.
In particular, the international diplomatic and security environment surrounding us is extremely severe.
In such a situation, it is truly regrettable that the opposition parties rely on the power of the majority as a party-party strategy and make even diplomacy, the last line of national interest, a subject of conflict.
"Insufficient due to dismissal of Jin Park, sacked 3 kim per night"
In addition to Minister of Foreign Affairs Park Jin, the Democratic Party is expanding the front line by demanding the sacking of National Security Office Director Kim Seong-han, Security Office First Deputy Director Kim Tae-hyo, and Public Relations Senior Secretary Kim Eun-hye.
It's pressure to sack 3 Kim 1 night.
The security office failed to prevent the problems that were revealed during this tour, such as announcing the Korea-Japan summit in advance, and Kim Eun-hye misled the people by lying in the process of explaining President Yoon's 'profanity controversy'.
Park Hong-geun, floor leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, said at a general meeting of the National Assembly, "Foreign Minister Park Jin, National Security Office Director Kim Seong-han, National Security Office First Deputy Director Kim Tae-hyo, and Public Relations Chief Kim Eun-hye are the main culprits of the diplomatic disaster. It is difficult to reverse the relationship.”
Chung Cheong-rae, the top member of the Democratic Party, also said on KBS radio's 'Choi Kyung-young's Strongest Current Affairs', "Not only should Minister Park Jin be fired, but also Kim Seong-han, director of the National Security Office, and Kim Eun-hye, senior public relations chief in the presidential office, should be fired." You did it after 15 hours? It's incompetent."

Foreign Minister Park Jin, Security Director Kim Seong-han, and President Kim Eun-hye, who further confused the public, should be fired.
I keep claiming that.
And if this is a problem like this, it should be explained immediately, but it was done after 15 hours.
Then what have you been doing?
From the perspective of President Yoon Seok-yeol, Kim Eun-hye, chief public relations officer, is very incompetent.
You must respond immediately.
raise objections.
But why did I do it after 15 hours?
he's incompetent

The People's Power plans to actively respond to the correction of polarized broadcasting by forming the 'MBC polarization and manipulation broadcasting fact-finding task force'.

Media business groups said that President Yoon yesterday (26th) said, "Damaging the alliance with reports that are different from the facts puts the people at risk." He criticized it as "a remark that seems to be plotting and directing political repression against the media."
He pointed out, "It is the power of the president's office and the people of the ruling party that overturned the word and heightened the controversy.
Civic media groups also demanded an apology from the president and the ruling party, but the Citizens' Coalition for Media Reform (Press Solidarity) commented, "(The press) does not exist to ignore the president's mistakes." The idea that if you write 'Eden' and all the media will use it as it is, it is close to a delusion."
In a commentary by the Citizens' Coalition for Democratic Press, "It is pathetic that they are trying to escape the crisis by intimidating the media in a situation where even self-reflection is not enough. I warn you not to dream."
