Rep. Sang-ho Woo of the Democratic Party and former Parliamentary Chung Bong-ju of the Open Democratic Party, who have declared their run for the Seoul Mayor’s by-election, have decided to agree on a single candidate for pan-passport under the premise of consolidation of the two parties.

While passports have also added to the unification of candidates, tensions are somewhat falling on the unification of the opposition to recapture the mayor of Seoul.

Democratic Party Rep. Sang-ho Woo and former Democratic Party Rep. Jeong Bong-ju gathered their intentions to unify candidates at a meeting held at the National Assembly starting at 10 am today on the premise of consolidation of both parties.

After the meeting, we announced an agreement.

Looking at the contents of the agreement, it contains the first agreement to unify candidates on the premise of consolidation, and then agreeing to the principle of promoting the unification procedure through the decision of the leadership and voting of all party members in accordance with the party regulations of both parties.

He also announced that he agreed to promote the integration of the Democratic Party and the Open Democratic Party before the election, and declare the unity in case of difficulties.

After the announcement of the agreement, Rep. Woo emphasized that the democratic party’s victory cannot be guaranteed if the opposition candidate is unified. Listen for yourself.

However, since the results of this meeting are separate from the position of the party leadership, there is no final decision on the timing of the validity of the passport and the unification of candidates.

Rep. Woo said that in the case of party consolidation, the leadership and party members will have to be asked, and that he is not entitled to agree on the timing and method of this meeting.

However, he added that it is the nature of suggesting that the candidates agree and promote it so that the leadership of both parties can promote it.

As for the proposal for unification and unification with candidate Park Young-seon, another Democratic Party contestant, former Congressman Bong-ju Chung made his intention.

It is clear that Candidate Woo was a little more active and did not reject Park, saying that he had a seat today because he agreed with the principle of unity.

Earlier, Candidate Park stated that there is no reason to refuse if the discussion on unification of passports begins.

Beginning with today’s meeting, the single passport candidate is also expected to accelerate significantly.

Let’s also look at the opposition.

How is the move to unify the opposition candidates going?

[기자]

First, there is the Yanggang composition of candidates Na Gyeong-won and Oh Se-hoon, the power of the people of the 1st opposition party.

Here, the composition of Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo and independent Candidate Tae-seop Geum emerged as ambush.

People’s Strength Candidate Gyeong-won Na and Se-hoon Oh look at candidates who are busy on-site even today, which is a holiday.

Today, the first holiday after advancing to the main competition, Candidate Gyeong-won Na announced a job pledge in Magok District, Gangseo-gu, and Candidate Se-Hoon Oh meets with merchants looking for a traditional market.

However, there are voices that the opposition has completed the tournament-style match with a single candidate solution, but the interest is not as high as expected.

In addition, discussions on the unification of the 3rd Zone People’s Party candidate Ahn Chul-soo and independent candidate Geum Tae-seop are not speeding up.

At present, the biggest issue in the working-level meeting is whether or not to hold a debate before the Lunar New Year.

In the case of the debate, Candidate Geum wants a quick debate, but Candidate Ahn shows a prudent attitude and a fight continues.

Here, the aftermath of the recording of Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo is leading to conflict between the opposition parties?

[기자]

Currently, the power of the people is urging Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo to voluntarily resign, and is launching a intensive offensive day after day.

In a commentary yesterday, Spokesman Kim Ye-ryeong, a spokesman for the power of the people, said in a commentary yesterday that Supreme Court chief Kim, who tolerated the ruling party’s attempts to seize the judiciary and threw the responsibility as head of the judiciary, should immediately withdraw from the position.

He also criticized the transcripts as being the loyalty of the Blue House and the ruling party of the government, and that he was possessed as a trumpet, and that it was a fundamental damage to the separation of powers and that he had already lost his qualifications as the head of the judiciary.

On the other hand, the Democratic Party is confronting the act of secretly recording the conversation with the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court as an impersonal trick.

Democratic Party spokesman Heo Young argued in a written briefing that the power of the people was obscuring the essence of judicial reform, taking the remarks of Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo identified in the transcript.

Political disputes between the opposition parties are intensifying, starting with a prosecution for impeachment of judges, leading to controversy over the remarks of Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo.
