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 from 10 am on the premise of the two parties unification.

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.

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.

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]

In the opposition, as the four-final tournament-style single primary draw is coming out as a single candidate solution, it is busy.

The power of the people Na Gyeong-won, Oh Se-hoon, Oh Shin-hwan, and Cho Eun-hee are joined within the party, followed by the Nationalist Party candidate Ahn Cheol-soo and independent candidate Geum Tae-seop outside the party.

However, from the inside of the opposition, it is not easy as there is a tight battle over the unification of the candidate.

The People’s Power, Kim Jong-in, chairman of the Emergency Response Committee, appeared in the KBS late-night discussion yesterday and insisted that the opposition should be unified as a big party candidate, the People’s Power candidate.

In response, Candidate Ahn Chul-soo of the Nationalist Party, after examining the youth living environment in Gwanak-gu, Seoul today, was answered, “I think it is not important who wins, but it is important that the conservative opposition wins.”

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.

The list of working-level negotiations from both sides was announced, but it is said that the discussion on the timing of the discussion, the biggest issue, was not able to narrow the disagreement over before and after the Lunar New Year.

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.

Spokesman Bae Jun-young, a spokesman for the power of the people, argued in a comment today that there are alternatives to the resignation of Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo in order to find trust in the judiciary.

Subsequently, if the transcripts of Chief Justice Kim Myung-soo had not been released, Chief Justice Kim insisted that the people would have been deceived forever.

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.
