President Lee Jae-myung's remarks in France and the issue of dispatching troops to Hormuz have emerged as major political issues.
Citing counter-revolutionary cases during the French Revolution, he warned that radical reforms could lead to reverse consolidation and the alienation of the moderate middle.
The President stressed that moderation is necessary for reform to minimize resistance.
An aide to the President criticized Lee Jae-myung's 'reform moderation' remarks as inappropriate.
They emphasized that talking about moderation during a revolutionary period, when rebel forces need to be decisively and swiftly suppressed, is premature.
It was pointed out that the opportunity to punish rebel forces was during the last local elections.
It was assessed that the ruling Democratic Party bears the greatest responsibility for letting that opportunity slip away in vain.
This was evaluated as an affectionate protest that helps the President.
It was argued that the Hormuz dispatch goes against the spirit of the Constitution and national identity, and that national strength is needed to resist Trump's thuggish policies.
If such a resolution is processed first in the National Assembly, the President can strengthen political justification against external pressure and secure an additional negotiation card.
Controversy arose over whether the word 'dispatch' can be used regarding the nature of the dispatch to the Strait of Hormuz.
An analysis suggested that it is different from past dispatches, like to Iraq, because it involves protecting national vessels on the high seas with France, rather than sending non-combatants or combatants into territory.
A counter-argument was raised that the act of sending warships and troops itself constitutes a dispatch.
It was emphasized that sending soldiers, warships, and weapons is a dispatch in itself, regardless of whether it goes to the high seas or into a specific territory.
It was emphasized that South Korea is a nation that experienced the pain of war less than 80 years ago, and those who vividly experienced the horrors of war are still alive.
It was explained that the inherent desire for peace among the people is a wish to oppose the repetition of war's horrors anywhere in the world, and this is reflected in the spirit of the Constitution.
