“300 mentors” was big… The reason Kim Jong-in beats Ahn Cheol-soo every day

Kim Jong-in is one of the leading strategists in Yeouido. Crossing the opposition parties, he participated in the emergency response committee and led the election victory. From the Democratic Justice Party to the Democratic Party together, he served as a proportional representative (nationwide) five times as a member of the National Assembly. Some have compared him to the Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms.

Such a person recently has a different voice from the opinions of the party and the supporters. There is a strong demand from the people’s strength and opposition supporters to “unify the opposition powers with the leader of the public opinion poll, Ahn Chul-soo, in order to win the by-election of the Mayor of Seoul on April 7”. Even within the party, “unification is an order of the people. It is argued that it is not a matter of choice, but a matter of party committee” (Jin-seok Jeong, Chairman of Nomination Management Committee).

Representative Ahn also said to reporters on the 13th, “It is an imperative order of opposition supporters to win the Seoul mayoral election and secure a bridgehead for regime change.” . Following “Only by being considerate of each other, even if a single candidate is elected later or in the end, it will be supported by all supporters.I said.

However, Chairman Kim doesn’t even budge. Rather, he emphasizes that “I am confident of victory in the three-way structure (between Democratic Party and Candidate Chul-soo Ahn).” Moreover, after the bilateral meeting was held at the request of CEO Ahn on the 6th, it is showing a more gloomy reaction, saying, “We have nothing to meet in the future.” A politician who recently met Chairman Kim in private said, “More than half of the conversation was devoted to criticism of Representative Ahn.”

Why is Chairman Kim so? There are five main reasons, both inside and outside the people’s strength.

Chairman Kim said at the party’s emergency countermeasure committee meeting on the 11th, “Now, the opinion poll approval rating is not all that can be seen. It is variable and close to awareness survey. It will be different from the final voting result.” It was an explanation given while angering, “becoming a bean flour family,” aiming at senior lawmakers who argued for integration with the National Assembly, placing Representative Ahn as the constant of unification.

The next day, on the radio program on the 12th, he said, “There are some people who support the Democratic Party (supporters), too,” for Ahn’s high approval rating. An official from the non-confrontational power of the people saidChairman Kim sees Ahn’s current approval rating as the sum of recognition and reverse selection of Democratic supporters.“ Chairman Kim keeps in mind the case that independent candidate Park Chan-jong, who was the leader of public opinion polls during the 1995 Seoul Mayor’s election, eventually lost to Democratic Party candidate Cho Soon in the final three-way competition.

Chairman Kim says that Ahn is considered a’unbelievable person’. In 2011, when President Ahn raised the ransom in the midst of the public’s irritation against the existing politics, Chairman Kim was known as Ahn’s mentor (adviser). According to Chairman Kim’s explanation, then Chairman Kim advised that Ahn should run for the general election in April 2012, the following year.

However, CEO Ahn wanted to go straight to the 2011 October 26 Seoul Mayor’s by-election, and then made a’concession’ to the then candidate Park Won-soon. Chairman Kim saw this as’giving up’, not concession, and after that, the relationship between the two became distant. In particular, when President Ahn said that he had “300 mentors,” it was said that the regret felt by the advisers such as Chairman Kim and former Environment Minister Yoon Yeo-jun was very great.

People’s Power official said, “Chairman Kim believes that even if Ahn loses in the unification competition with the power of the people, he will somehow try to run independently.I said.

There is also an analysis that the interests of Chairman Kim and Representative Ahn conflict with each other. Another official from the power of the people said, “No matter how President Ahn wins in the current situation, it is not the merit of Chairman Kim.” Said.

Chairman Kim usually ‘Discipline politics‘It is also noteworthy that the style has been shown. It is evaluated that the first election in the Seoul-Busan mayoral elections in the party in September last year was derived from the preference of Chairman Kim, who valued a fresh image of experts. Chairman Kim’s achievements can be achieved only when new people are raised and elected.

This style provoked a backlash in the party when he was the non-capital leader of the Democratic Party in 2016. At that time, there was a noise over the nomination of the proportional representative candidate for the general election. Seoul National University professor Cho Kook rebelled, saying, “Party members and supporters are not subject to discipline or admonition.”did.

In a radio interview on the 12th, Chairman Kim said in relation to Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, “In my view, (President Yoon) will see a stark moment now.” In other words, CEO Ahn claims that the’star moment’ has passed. It is literally an evaluation that it is not the’best star’ right now.

There is also an eye to find the reason Chairman Kim constantly beats Representative Ahn from the rise of President Yoon. Before and after the 4·7 by-election, a new edition is made, and when the prosecutor general’s term of office ends in July, Yun will choose his career path. At that time, it is a point of view that some kind of stop work is being carried out so that the people’s strength can be selected as the destination.

Chairman Kim said at a non-commissioned meeting on the 11th that “the public seems to be aware of President Yoon as a presidential-runner level.”The mutation will be elected in the next presidential electionIt is said that he also spoke of “”. In terms of the expression he referred to as’mutation’, there is an interpretation that “the possibility that Yoon, who was selected from the passport, will be elected as an opposition candidate, or that he may have mentioned a new person at all.” The acquaintance of President Yoon Ki-joong, an emeritus professor at Yonsei University and Chairman Kim, is also talked about. That’s why the story comes out of “the strategy of Seongdonggyeokseo, who is yelling at Ahn, but conversely, to bring General Yoon to the front.

In politics, it is predominantly that the power of the people and the unification of President Ahn’s opposition will eventually come true. Re-elected members of the People’s PowerThe captain originally did thatI said. It means that they are bluffing (bluffing strategy) to create an advantageous phase before negotiations. Former lawmaker Kim Jae-won, a strategic leader in the party, also said on Facebook on the 12th, “Chairman Kim assures that he will also win in the three-way confrontation. Strategists sometimes have to talk about what is not possible as possible.”
