Quick Look

국민의힘은 정동영 통일부 장관과 이종석 국가정보원장의 즉각 경질을 주장하며 한미동맹 균열 위험을 경고했다. 정점식 원내대표는 우크라이나가 북한군 포로 송환 사실을 공개한 것을 이유로 주우크라이나대사 소환을 '심각한 패착'이라고 비판하고, 우크라이나 지원을 환영하는 국가는 러시아와 북한뿐이라고 주장했다.

Why It Matters

국민의힘은 한미동맹이 위기에 처했다며 정동영 통일부 장관이 북한의 지뢰 공격을 특정할 수 없다고 발언한 것을 기밀 누설로 보고, 이종석 국가정보원장이 '쿠팡 사태'에서 표적 탄압 주범이라는 지적을 받았다고 비판했다.

국민의힘은 11일 한미동맹 균열이 위험 수준에 이르렀다며 정동영 통일부 장관과 이종석 국가정보원장을 즉각 경질해야 한다고 거듭 주장했다.

장동혁 대표는 이날 페이스북 글에서 "한미동맹이 오해 수준을 넘어 파탄으로 가고 있다"며 이같이 밝혔다.

장 대표는 "정동영은 한미 연합 비밀을 누설했다. '북한의 지뢰 공격으로 특정할 수 없다'고 북한 편을 들었다"면서 "이종석의 국정원은 '쿠팡 사태' 당시 '표적 탄압'의 주범이라는 지적을 받았다"고 꼬집었다.

정점식 원내대표도 이날 국회에서 기자회견을 열어 "이재명 정부는 외교, 안보, 경제 영역에서 한미동맹의 위기를 자초하면서 북한과 러시아가 좋아하는 일들을 골라서 하고 있다"면서 "자유진영에서 이탈해 북·중·러 동맹과 결착하려는 의도가 아닌지 의심하지 않을 수 없다"고 비판했다.

정 원내대표는 정 장관과 이 원장을 겨냥해 "북한 눈치나 보는 이들을 더 이상 '자주파'라고 불러서는 안 된다. '종북파'라고 불러야 마땅하다"면서 "동맹으로부터 불신을 야기하는 정부 내 종북파 인사들부터 끊어내야 한다"고 강조했다.

특히 정 장관이 지난 7일 국정감사에서 비무장지대(DMZ) 지뢰 폭발을 "아직 (북한의) 공격으로 특정할 수 없다"고 말한 것을 두고는 "정 장관이 그렇게 생각하면 국방부가 정전협정 위반이며 북한 도발이라고 명백히 발표하기 전에 조율했어야 했다"면서 "결국 자신의 종북성 평가를 가지고 진실을 덮으려는 시도"라고 규탄했다.

그는 북한군 포로의 한국 송환 사실을 우크라이나가 공개한 것을 이유로 정부가 주우크라이나대사를 귀국 조치한 것을 두고도 "무리수이자 심각한 패착"이라고 비판했다.

정 원내대표는 "대사 소환은 우크라이나를 지원하는 유럽연합(EU)과의 관계에도 악영향을 끼칠 것이다. 우크라이나에 대한 대통령의 분기탱천을 환영할 국가는 오직 러시아와 북한뿐"이라며 "도대체 대한민국의 주적이 언제부터 이스라엘과 우크라이나였느냐"고 따졌다.

이어 "정작 이재명 대통령은 진짜 주적인 북한이 지뢰로 도발하고, 군사분계선 이남에 철책을 세우는 데 대해선 단 한마디도 언급하지 않고 있다"고 말했다.

그러면서 "북한에 대한 의료지원 같은 '대북 조공 정책'을 전면 폐기하라"면서 "지뢰 도발에 대해서는 대북 확성기 설치, 북한의 불법 사이버 활동 독자제재와 같은 대응 조치를 강구하길 바란다. 우리가 최소한의 자존을 지키려는 의지를 보여야 동맹국도 우리를 믿는 법"이라고 목소리른 냈다.

최보윤 수석대변인도 이날 논평을 내 "평양에선 뺨 맞고 키이우엔 눈 흘기는 이재명 외교, 도대체 무엇을 따라가고 있느냐"고 지적했다.

President Lee "It's natural to block profanity... It's a word that has been used since Moon's days."

President Lee Jae-myung once again emphasized the importance of communication through an anecdote with former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon, saying that a healthy forum for public discussion must be blocked on social media by blocking accounts that spew out abusive language and profanity. He also refuted that the expression 'left-handed' is not an Ilbe term and that we should be wary of excessive seriousness, and said that interpretations are being made targeting Gyeonggi Province Governor Choo Mi-ae, criticizing cuts to the welfare budget for the common people.

Kim, trying to overcome the lowest approval rating... Strengthening on-site actions amid party-government coordination evaluation (comprehensive)

Kim Min-seok, leader of the Democratic Party of Korea, is struggling with a decline in party approval ratings just two months before his inauguration. In a Gallup Korea survey, the Democratic Party's approval rating was 35%, the lowest since the launch of the Lee Jae-myung administration, and in a KSOI survey, the People Power Party was ahead for the first time within the margin of error. Within the party, divisions within the ruling party are cited as the cause, and Representative Kim is seeking a breakthrough by reducing messages and schedules and increasing on-site actions and communication within the party.
