Ahn Cheol-soo, the head of the National Assembly Party, appeared on YouTube TV Lee Bong-gyu on the 22nd, and said, “There must be conclusive evidence, but the Election Commission or the government has the evidence.” said. Even in the opposition party, some of the extreme claims were received by Ahn, who spoke of’new politics’. It was a step that clearly showed the situation of President Ahn who became urgent with the consideration of the unified public opinion poll with the Mayor of Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon.
Ten years ago, when the news that he could run for the mayor of Seoul in 2011 as an independent was announced, he became the protagonist of the’Ahn Chul-soo phenomenon’. At that time, the approval rating was over 50%. After giving up the candidate’s position to lawyer Park Won-soon, the’Alternative Ahn Chul-soo’ was strengthened and became a leader in power. As the unification negotiations with Candidate Jae-in Moon continued until November 2012, a month before the presidential election, criticism was raised that Ahn was looking at the gang, and in the end, he declared that he could not run for the presidential election.
In fact, it is reasonable to interpret the’new politics’ as President Ahn said in other words of the Third Zone. They say that they will do new politics by expressing the big two parties as old politics, but there is a joke that’no one knows Ahn’s new politics’. However, Ahn’s actions paradoxically show how vain the Third Zone theory is.
He founded the New Political Democratic Alliance with Democratic Party President Kim Han-gil in 2014, and led the local elections and re-election of July 30 as joint representative of the first opposition party at the time, but did not achieve great results and suffered a blow to his leadership. I got out of it. Having gained 23 out of 28 Honam seats in the National Assembly Party and the 20th general election and establishing itself as a’Honam Self-Mind Ryeon’ again inspired Ahn’s hope for the Third Zone theory.
However, in the presidential election immediately after Park Geun-hye’s impeachment, he was pushed to third place after being pushed by the giant two parties, and in the 2018 Seoul mayoral election, he was pushed to the third place after being pushed by the giant two parties. Again, CEO Ahn showed a superior advantage at the beginning. Early last month, a poll on the candidates for the mayor of Seoul in the pan-optics was in the order of Ahn Chul-soo> Na Gyeong-won> Oh Se-hoon, and the media indicated Ahn Chul-soo as the first river and Na Gyeong-won and Oh Se-hun as double.
The conservative opposition prepared for this election with the theory of government judgment. Although there is no experience in proper policy elections, President Moon Jae-in’s approval rating declined, and the regime and confrontation also needed a strategy from the standpoint of preparing for the next presidential election next year. As the majority of the media continued to report the preliminary war of next year’s presidential election several times and the election drew closer, power was concentrated on the 1st opposition party. It is also true that the LH incident, beyond the failure of real estate policy, changed public opinion that a judgment on the actual regime was necessary.
As a result, the strategy was successful, in which Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Strength Emergency Response Committee, continued to make comments that seemed to ignore Ahn’s organizational power. On the day of Oh’s unification victory, he said, “I did 90% of my work,” and re-emphasized the argument that in the end, the current electoral system will have no choice but to converge to the first opposition party instead of the third zone. It is the day when the contrast between Chairman Kim, who has been in charge of the leadership of the 1st opposition party, and President Ahn, who has been pursuing the 3rd zone in solidarity with the 1st opposition party, in crisis.
Representative Ahn’s remarks that it is possible with the National Assembly and the remarks that caused controversy by appearing on conservative YouTuber broadcasts showed that Ahn was too courting of the supporters of the 1st opposition party at the last minute. Although I understand his election strategy that he has no choice but to appeal to the supporters of the people’s strength, the voters who saw Ahn’s last-minute move made the judgment that’if that is the case, we have no choice but to support the first opposition candidate.’ It is analyzed that Ahn’s failure to complete the unification negotiations as soon as possible is one of the reasons for his defeat.
The failure of politician Ahn Chul-soo also exists in the third zone, but is expected to affect the future actions of former prosecutor general Yoon Seok-yeol, who must be in solidarity with the power of the people. Ahn Cheol-soo, who was a presidential leader who received more than 50% of the support in 2012, has failed in all three recent presidential elections and mayoral elections in Seoul. In the process, the runners of the 3rd zone also moved to empower the 1st opposition party. This is the reason why a passport politician’s evaluation of the’fire flames’ contains one side of the truth.
Progressive media criticized Ahn in a cold manner. On the 24th, the Hankyoreh said, “Ahn Cheol-soo’reduced the limit of the third power’… From “I think I’m going to rebuild the process of reorganizing the opposition,” he evaluated that “even the dream of the mayor of Seoul who re-challenged by lowering the weight class flew like a mirage”, and the Kyunghyang Shinmun said, “The third zone lost power… Ahn Cheol-soo in Crisis” analyzed that “the prospect that the way will be made will only be made by the power of the people, not by the three-seat president of the National Assembly, who lost the sense of presence,” he analyzed.
Conservative media emphasized the point that Ahn should continue to play a role for the first opposition party.
On this day, the Dong-A Ilbo said, “The power of the people depends on the fate of the people… From’Absorbing the Third Zone, Will it Be Absorbed’” to “If Candidate Ahn bets’Great Integration’ as a prerequisite for the worthy party, and former President Yoon also starts activities in the Third Zone, a fight for leadership between the Third Zone and the power of the people After raising concerns, “Political critic Lee Jong-hoon said, “It is important that the people’s power can take the lead in the presidential election only if the strategy of’expansion’, including the recruitment of Candidate Ahn and former President Yun, is well used.” Iranian remarks were added.
The Chosun Ilbo picked “Ahn Chul-soo, take the lead of the ancestral committee to support Oh Se-hoon” as the top knight in the election, and reported in detail how Ahn could help Candidate Oh. In another article, he said, “In the opposition, there is a saying that’there is an inevitable revision of the’dramaticism’ that President Ahn advocates because he was pushed from behind, even with the overwhelming approval rating at the beginning of the contest.”
Despite the limitations of the absence of a person, the power of the people at the moment has taken advantage of the efforts of Representative Ahn who “worked hard for box office” as Chairman Kim said. Isn’t the public power or conservative media’s gaze on politician Yoon Seok-yeol similar?
