The People’s Power Candidate Se-hoon Oh and Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo of the People’s Party meet at a TV debate for unification this afternoon.
As originally declared, for the unification to take place on the 19th, a public opinion poll must begin tomorrow.
However, the two candidates struggled over and over again over the key issue, the poll question, and exchanged sharp battles.
[오세훈/국민의힘 서울시장 후보 : 내년 대선은 야권이 분열된 상태에서 치러지는 최악의 대통령 선거가 될 수도 있다.]
[김종인/국민의힘 비상대책위원장 : 토론도 할 수 없는 사람이 가서 시장 노릇은 어떻게 할 거예요?]
Candidate Ahn’s counterattack also intensified.
“I have never avoided debate, but I’m greeted with the wrong words,” and to Candidate Oh, “Is there the sincerity of unification?”
[안철수/국민의당 서울시장 후보 : 요즘 LH 사태 덕분에 지지율이 좀 올라간다 싶으니까 3자 구도로 가겠다는 밑자락을 까는 겁니까.]
During the pan-oppositional war, Democratic Party candidate Park Young-seon appealed for a referendum in search of an organization specializing in child protection.
[박영선/더불어민주당 서울시장 후보 : 아동보호 전문기관도 대폭 확충을 하겠다. 제2의 정인이, 제3의 구미 아동 사건, 이런 것들이 다시는 일어나지 않도록….]
Candidate Park and Candidate Jin-ae Kim of the Open Democratic Party will go through a two-day public opinion poll starting today to confirm the final single candidate tomorrow.
