There was no way to feel the dismay with only a deep sigh.
Because of the failure of real estate policy, the common people lose their homes,
Corona 19 is a situation where small businessmen close their stores and are driven to the edge of survival. Collapsed.
Jeong-in, who became a carcass by parental abuse, lost words to say in front of Youngjeon, who had to return if he did not like it, an accident that was far from human nature, and abandoned the basic responsibility of putting the life and safety of the people first.
Would you like to entrust our destiny to this regime again?
My fellow citizens,
Dear supporters of the opposition, desperately wishing that a strong bridgehead for regime change will be released through the victory of the mayor of Seoul by-election,
Recruitment of candidates for the People’s Power internal contest has begun.
I sincerely look forward to the successful election of a candidate for the final contest amid the public’s interest.
Today, I would like to talk more specifically about the position related to the unification of the opposition candidates.
In the meantime, I had a rather difficult day after I declared running for mayor of Seoul.
The need for unification of opposition candidates is reduced more than anyone else,
It was difficult to accommodate the unexpected’request for participation’ from the 1st opposition party,
It is seen as if it rejects unity
I had to be on the lookout.
No matter how much I announce my vision and tell me to compete with policies due to the 1st opposition party’s request for joining, what always comes back
The only question was, “Will you join? Are you worthy? When do you do it?”
Other candidates, too, must have been uncomfortable with the media asking only the story of unification with Ahn Cheol-soo.
Before the election, it is unreasonable from the beginning to ask the representative of the public party to leave the party and join our party.
I understand the intention that the people’s power will play a role as the first opposition party, but a one-sided demand that does not take into account the demands of various opposition supporters that exist in reality is not reasonable.
The first button for unification was sewn wrong.
In order to unify, practical consultations are necessary in advance, and it is not possible to create interest and consensus by explaining well to the public what unification is for, how to do it, and what policy direction to take after election.
On the contrary, we look back on whether the exhausting argument for the party has only raised the disappointment and fatigue of opposition supporters.
Moreover, with some insensitive negative words and actions, even though no discussion for unification has ever begun, some media reports erroneously reported that they could go their own way, creating anxiety among opposition supporters.
If this situation is not resolved as soon as possible, it is questionable whether the public sentiment that raised expectations for the opposition party, which appeared in the New Year’s polls, will persist, and the opposition party may again enter the path of defeat.
In fact, I propose to the 1st opposition party today because of the desperate feeling that the interest of the people gathered as the opposition party after a long time cannot be disregarded.
Please open the national power contest platform to the entire opposition.
Let the 1st opposition party take the initiative and become a game maker to win the opposition.
I will be happy to participate.
And let’s start working-level discussions to select the single most competitive opposition candidate without conditions, including how to manage this open contest platform under the responsibility of the people.
I will accept any proposals made in this discussion.
Not only me, but also the candidates participating in this open contest platform
Let’s make it possible for anyone in the opposition, including independent candidates, to participate.
In addition, the public pledges that all candidates will clearly submit to the results of practical discussions and contests in front of the people, aim for a positive election of vision and policy competition, and will take the lead for the election of a single elected candidate no matter who is elected as a single candidate. Let’s do it.
I can definitely make a promise in front of the people here.
That Ahn Cheol-soo held a positive election, not a negative
I will accept the results.
This is not entirely new.
The Democratic Party of America is already doing it.
Open the door to all candidates, even if they are not Democrats,
I have been electing a winning candidate against the Republican candidate.
We also welcome the 1:1 discussion method introduced by the people’s power in the US primary.
It will help to select more competitive opposition candidates, and the people will also watch this process with deep interest.
And to be clear, I’ve never told you to do unity for me until now.
I have said many times that I will help a single candidate elect even if I am not chosen.
In my head, there is only one goal of winning the opposition through unification and laying the bridgehead for regime change.
The National Assembly will soon appoint a working representative and wait. We will prepare to start dialogue as soon as we select a working representative from the power of the people.
Whether you are running a marathon meeting or negotiating overnight, I will wait and respect the results without any objection until I make the proposals the people want.
Today, January 19th is the day I returned to my country after my retirement from real politics and my research activities in Europe and America.
It has already been 1 year.
I told you at the airport at the time, but the reason I returned to Korea was that I couldn’t just watch the Moon Jae-in regime’s runaway from abroad like a fire across a river.
I believe that we should prevent the healthy values and norms of a society and community from falling apart without help, such as justice and fairness, common sense and principles.
I decided to return to real politics.
My thoughts and determination that Korea shouldn’t fall further,
So far, no change has changed.
This by-election in Seoul is not an election that can be won or lost.
It is an election of desperate despair that took the fate of Korea.
I’m working on throwing everything out of me.
There will be no disagreement among all candidates, saying that for the future of the Republic of Korea, the regime must be replaced, and in order to change the regime, the by-election must be won, and in order to achieve that goal, the unification of opposition candidates is an essential prerequisite for victory.
Ensuring that multiple opposition supporters who may differ in mind can support a single candidate without dropping is paramount in the unification process, and even some of the supporters will all agree that if they leave, they can become a single candidate but lose the election. .
That is why I am convinced that a beautiful and touching unity can be achieved.
thank you.
