Parties gear up for local elections

With the presidential election now in the rearview mirror, political parties are gearing up for the upcoming local elections, in which 17 mayoral and gubernatorial seats as well as posts for numerous local council members and education chiefs are up for grabs. Following the victory in the presidential election, the conservative People Power Party (PPP) has set its sights on a repeat in the quadrennial elections, scheduled for June 1, while the liberal Democratic Party of Korea (DPK) is seeking to end its unsuccessful election run of late. The ruling party also lost last year's mayoral by-elections in Seoul and Busan.

Summary
Since South Korean President Moon Jae-in entered office in May 2017, he spent the first three years of his presidency focusing on summitry with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, convincing former U.S. president Donald Trump to engage directly with Kim, stressing his own version of “draining the swamp” or rooting out corruption, and promoting wage-led economic growth. However, less than a year before Moon leaves office, his domestic and inter-Korean policies remain mired in setbacks. Surprisingly, Moon’s most enduring foreign policy legacy could lie in resetting and strengthening the U.S.-ROK (Republic of Korea) alliance after his critical meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden in May 2021.

Moon says public consensus needed for granting pardons to two jailed ex-presidents
April 21, 2021
President Moon Jae-in reaffirmed his prudent approach Wednesday toward the issue of whether to grant special pardons to two imprisoned former presidents, Lee Myung-bak and Park Geun-hye.
He emphasized the need to consider public consensus on the politically sensitive matter and its possible impact on national unity during his luncheon meeting with Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon and Busan Mayor Park Heong-joon at Cheong Wa Dae.
Moon was responding to a proposal from the Busan mayor that Moon take the measure for the sake of promoting national unity, although he did not use the word “pardon” directly, according to a senior Cheong Wa Dae official.
