The power of the people to unify the opposition candidates for the mayor of Seoul, and the Kookmin Party working group are seldom finding a point of agreement.
At the negotiating table, I went to Goseong at the end of the discussion over the number of discussions and poll phrases, but the result was empty-handed.
Reporter Baek Jong-gyu reported.

The working-level negotiations of both candidates Se-hoon Oh and Chul-soo Ahn gathered for the third time to unify the opposition candidates for the mayor of Seoul.
At the beginning of the discussion, I was friendly enough.
[정양석 / 국민의힘 사무총장 : 앞서가고 있는 후보 사무실에 왔으니까, 손님에 많은 양보와 통 큰 결단을 해주실 거로 기대가 됩니다.]
[이태규 / 국민의당 사무총장 : 여러분께 의미 있는 성과를 말씀드릴 수 있도록 저희도 최선의 노력을 다하겠다는 말씀을 드리겠습니다.]
However, as the afternoon passed, the castle broke out inside the negotiating hall.
They criticized each other, saying, “I talk to you,” and “the basic manners aren’t good.”
The number of debates, the method of debate, and the difference in opinions about the polls became tightly confronted and turned into a battle of emotions.
When no consensus was found, the people’s strength insisted on a step-by-step negotiation to conclude one by one and discuss more issues.
After concluding that there was no time for the National Assembly, it offered to leave the detailed consultations to the working-level team and blushed until the end.
Eventually, the negotiations broke down as the People’s Strength Negotiation Group sprang up.
[이태규 / 국민의힘 사무총장 : 언성이 높아졌던 부분이 있었던 것 같은데, 그것은 특별한 어떤 합의를 못 본 이유는 아니고요. 그래서 저희 입장에서는 어쨌든 시간이 얼마 안 남았기 때문에….]
The unification negotiations faced a crisis, but Candidate Se-hoon Oh is relatively relaxed.
With the recent rise in approval ratings, the situation is more favorable as time goes by.
[오세훈 / 국민의힘 서울시장 후보 (KBS 라디오 ‘오태훈의 시사본부’) : 이제 조금 상승세인 거는 분명히 느껴지고요. 그렇더라도 앞으로 좀 더 열심히 뛰어서 노력해서 더 끌어올려야지 이길 수 있지 않겠습니까?]
On the other hand, Candidate Chul-soo Ahn is urgent.
There is a strong atmosphere of rush, saying that only you can beat the Democratic Party candidate.
[안철수 / 국민의당 서울시장 후보 : 올해 1월부터 계속 말씀을 드렸잖습니까. 후보들 간의 경선은 경선 대로 진행하더라도 미리 서로 양 당에서 단일후보 선출에 대한 것을 합의를 이루자….]
The negotiating team announced that they would continue to meet again on weekends and holidays, but it seems difficult for both sides to make a concession even in the situation of Park Bing-in even in the public opinion polls.
