The new president of South Korea, Mun Zhe Ying, who is a member of the left "Democratic Party" is going to unite the country that survived the political crisis and the impeachment of the former president. Moon promised that he would become president "for all Koreans, inclusive with those who did not support him". About the new president of South Korea writes in his review of Bloomberg.

The final count of votes showed that Moon received 41% of the vote, while his opponent from the right-wing party of the former president scored 24%. Another 21.4% received a candidate from centrists. The new president interrupted the nine-year period of the country's governance by the conservatives and is going to undertake a number of changes in various areas.

North Korea Moon Zhe Ying was born into a family of North Korean refugees and is a supporter of a milder position in the negotiations with representatives of the DPRK. Earlier, Moon criticized the hasty establishment of the American missile defense system on the peninsula, and also spoke for direct talks with the head of North Korea. The new president was congratulated by the leaders of the United States and Japan.

In the US, they noted that they are pleased with the democratic and peaceful transition of power in South Korea and welcome the new president. While Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that he wants to meet with the new South Korean president as soon as possible.

Clannishness and corruption However, the new president has much to do and outside the North Korean issue. The high result of the candidate of the Democratic Party was due to the corruption scandal in which the previous president of the country fell. Thus, many voters expect the fight against corruption and clan conglomerates of the South Korean authorities.

Moon also ran to fight unemployment and increase the growth of the economy, which last year showed the slowest pace since 2012.

Choosing Youth Most of the support of the new president came from the category of twenty-fifty-year-olds, whereas the conservative party received the greatest support among the older population. Most supporters of the new president want to reduce his powers, given the corruption scandal and impeachment Pak Kun He. However, despite the support of this initiative by the new president and the majority of his party in the parliament, this requirement will be difficult to implement because of the complexity of constitutional changes in the country.

Earlier it was reported that the new president of South Korea was a representative of the "Democratic Party" Moon Zhe Ying. He received 41.1 percent of the vote (13.4 million citizens).



Earlier, the Constitutional Court of South Korea confirmed the legality of the impeachment of the country's President Pak Kun He, who last year was in the middle of a loud corruption scandal.

President Pak Kun Hye was suspended from office after the parliament voted on December 9 for her impeachment. He also said that he was ready to leave his post voluntarily when the necessary political conditions were created for this. Prime Minister Hwang Ge An became the acting leader of the country.
