Presidential activities explained
President Lee Myung-bak's remarks on the necessity of political stability should be construed as a basic principle that is taught in the first weeks of Politics 101. In particular, even while on a tour of local provinces, President Lee has been briefed in real time about the possible deterioration of basic living conditions affected by hikes in consumer prices stemming from skyrocketing raw material prices and rapid depreciationof the Korean won against the dollar. The President is concerned and is keeping a close tab on the current situation.
In this context, his remarks should be understood as a message that the need to channel efforts into solving pending national issues should not be sidetracked because of political controversies.
Regarding the President's suggested visit to Hongseong, some GNP lawmakers first proposed the idea on the grounds that it is the projected new capital of Chungcheongnam-do (province). However, we are now in the process of mulling over the idea that the President might view the site from a helicopter in order to avoid any possible politically motivated misinterpretation.
Furthermore, the Saemangeum Reclamation Project is one of the government tasks receiving top priority as witnessed by the fact that a special TF team was set up to deal with the project under the Presidential Transition Committee.
The argument that such presidential activities are politically motivated is tantamountto a political offensive.
