South Korea has a precedent of pardoning the former president. What three mountains must park geun-hye pass before he can be pardoned by Moon Jae in?

Park geun-hye can be pardoned by Moon Jae in? Korean media: She has to go through these three mountains first.

Can park geun-hye, who was sentenced to 24 years in prison, get Amnesty?

On the afternoon of April 9th, former South Korean President park geun-hye was sentenced to 24 years' imprisonment at first instance. In this regard, the focus of public opinion in South Korea is whether 66-year-old park geun-hye will spend the rest of his life behind bars. Or, like Quan Doo-hwan and Lu Taiyu, do they commute their sentences first and then imprison them for two years before they get amnesty? According to the analysis of Korean media NEWS 1, there are three unfavorable factors, and it is very unlikely that park geun-hye will be pardoned by the Moon Jae in government.

Quan Doo-hwan and Lu Taiyu were tried side by side.

It is understood that after being charged with military rebellion and huge corruption, Quan Douhuan and Lu Taiyu were sentenced to death and 22 years and 6 months' imprisonment respectively in the first instance. Later, the appeal was appropriate, and the sentence was reduced to life imprisonment and fixed-term imprisonment 17 years respectively. 1In February 1997, the two men were pardoned by President-elect Kim Dae-jung and released in early 1998.

According to the report, it is difficult for park geun-hye to obtain amnesty from the Moon Jae in government, and the primary unfavorable factor is the public opinion environment. Three days after Quan Douhuan and Lu Taiyu appealed, a public opinion survey in South Korea showed that 44% of the audience thought the commutation was appropriate and 47.9% thought it was inappropriate. 42.2% of the audience thought it could be pardoned, while 40.5% did not support it. On the whole, the proportion of approval and opposition is basically different.

Thanks to the support of public opinion and the historical scene of 1997, three presidential candidates, including Kim Dae-jung, concluded a contract to pardon Quan Douhuan and Lu Taiyu in order to achieve "national reunification".

But now, Korean public opinion is not so tolerant of park geun-hye. On the one hand, park geun-hye is not as good as Quan Douhuan and Lu Taiyu, and can't produce remarkable achievements; On the other hand, she became the first president to be impeached because of the poor command of Shi Yue and his cronies, and her prestige was discredited. Even if there are a large number of die-hard fans, it is difficult to save the general trend of public opinion.

After park geun-hye was arrested in April last year, a South Korean opinion poll showed that only 25. 1% of the audience supported Amnesty for park geun-hye, while 67.6% opposed it. Even in Daegu and Gyeongsangbuk-do, the hometown of park geun-hye, the proportion of opponents (52.7%) overwhelmed the supporters (40.0%).

South Korea wants to amend the constitution and operate presidential Amnesty.

According to the report, the second unfavorable factor facing park geun-hye is related to the constitutional amendment vigorously promoted by the Moon Jae in government.

According to the Korean Constitution, the President has the power of pardon. Since 1980, successive presidents of South Korea have pardoned 48 times, with an average of 8 pardons per government. However, public opinion in South Korea generally demands to "contain" the presidential pardon, and even thinks that "interrupting" the presidential pardon should be the starting point to eliminate privileges and curb corruption.

Therefore, in the draft constitutional amendment announced by the South Korean government last month, it is clearly stated that Amnesty will not be decided by the president alone, but by the Amnesty Review Committee. If this constitutional amendment is passed, it will mean that it will be much more difficult for park geun-hye to be pardoned.

Moon Jae in attended the rally and called for the impeachment of park geun-hye.

The third shortcoming is Moon Jae in's attitude. When he was a presidential candidate, when asked about pardon, he once said, "The pro-government forces headed by the former President of park geun-hye should be strictly held accountable according to laws and principles." In the general election, he also promised that the target of Amnesty would not include corrupt political and economic figures, and park geun-hye was the precise "target".
