National Assembly·Political Party: Politics: News: Hankyoreh

Former Mayor Oh Se-hoon, a member of the People’s Power, officially declared that he would run for the Seoul Mayor’s by-election (April 7). As the preliminary unification with the National Assembly representative Ahn Chul-soo, who had suggested as a condition of refusal to run for mayor of Seoul, was frustrated, he said that he had no choice but to go directly to prepare a bridgehead for regime change. With this, in the conservative opposition, all the’Big 3’including former lawmaker Na Kyung-won in the Seoul Mayor’s by-election was completed.

Putting the’Prepared Market’ brand ahead

Mayor Oh cited the greatest competitiveness in his five-year municipal administration experience while serving as the mayor of Seoul in the declaration that day. He said, “Now in Seoul, the lives of citizens have been threatened by Corona 19, and the housing price has been soaring,” he said. “As the mayor’s office is vacated due to the sexual harassment crime of the former mayor, the city stopped due to a heavy snowfall but not properly prepared. State.” He continued, “From the day after the election, we need a mayor with experience who can conduct CPR while directing the correction right away.” “In a dying city, Seoul waits for trial and error in the amateur beginner market, the 1-year intern market, and the practice market. I can’t afford to give.” The ‘re-election mayor of Seoul’ career was emphasized to highlight the differentiation from other candidates who have no experience in Seoul administration. The’North Seoul Dream Forest’, which Mayor Oh declared to run on this day, seems to be the place chosen to evoke such strengths. Mayor Oh took over the site of’Dream Land’, which was closed in 2009 when he was in office as the mayor of Seoul, and opened’North Seoul Dream Forest’. An official from the Mayor of Oh said, “At that time, the North Seoul Dream Forest was a place that was created as a green area at the center of Gangbuk redevelopment projects such as the nearby Jangwi-dong New Town.” He said (together) the meaning of appealing for support and presenting a vision of what policy to put forward when the mayor of Seoul is elected.” In particular, Mayor Oh met with reporters after the declaration of the run and said, “All the pledges I make in the future will be a five-year pledge, but I will establish myself as a mayor who plays hard for five years.” I will erase it white from my head.”

Apology for unification confusion and resignation of mayor

Mayor Oh also spent a long time apologizing for causing confusion within the party, such as the’conditional declaration of running for office’ on this day. Earlier, he said that by the 17th, CEO Ahn Chul-soo would run for a condition if he did not join the people’s strength, and said he would directly enter into negotiations for unification with Ahn. However, when Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Forces Emergency Response Committee, publicly criticized “what qualifications do we negotiate with?”, the unification negotiation itself failed. He gave confusion over the schedule of the political party to be prepared for the prime ministerial election. Mayor Oh said, “I made a decision from the loyalty that’unification of opposition rights’ must be achieved, but prior to that, I apologize for failing to fully understand the will of the party members and those who wish to run for me.” He said, “Unfortunately, it is now difficult to expect pre-integration,” he turned to Ahn’s non-cooperation. Mayor Oh also met with reporters on this day and said, “Chairman Kim Jong-in gave me an encouragement call this morning. In fact, I wasn’t expecting it, but I got the call in the morning and I felt very good. I also felt a sense of mission to work harder.” It is interpreted that an attempt was made to suture the conflict with Chairman Kim Jong-in exposed after the’conditional declaration of running for office’. He also expressed regret for the resignation of the mayor of Seoul 10 years ago. He apologized, saying, “Looking back, I have benefited more than anyone from the people and our society, and I owed a great deal of resignation from the mayor. With a heart of atonement, I stood here with a greater sense of responsibility.” Previously, Mayor Oh resigned from the Mayor of Seoul in opposition to the’Eco-friendly Free Meal Ordinance’ in 2011, and former mayor Park Won-soon, who was then opposition candidate, was elected. It has been a heavy burden.

Conservative opposition’Big 3’composition completed On this day, with the declaration of a run by the former mayor, in the conservative opposition, the’Big 3 Candidate’ with high public recognition, such as Representative Ahn Chul-soo and former lawmaker Na Gyeong-won, was completed. It is highly likely that candidates for the strength of the people, such as former mayor Oh and former lawmakers, will participate in an additional contest with Representative Ahn and’conservative opposition players’ after the internal contest. In the opposition, there are many who show anticipation for the increase in the contest. “This election of the mayor of Seoul is highly likely to be an election that will determine the political power that will lead to the reorganization of the opposition political system and the presidential election.” “From the perspective of the party, it would be nice to see the highly recognized candidates competing. I have no choice but to.” On this day, independent lawmaker Hong Joon-pyo also posted on his Facebook page, “Today, former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon declared his run for the mayor of the city of’Big Three’ (Big 3).” “This by-election of the mayor of Seoul is the touchstone of the regime change. It is an important election. I look forward to having a beautiful competition and taking the first step in regime change with one single candidate for opposition.” He continued, “I ask that Chairman Kim Jong-in, as a big adult of the opposition, embrace the Big Three and focus on recapture of the mayor of Seoul,” he emphasized. “It is time to unite around the cause of the tyrannical cessation.”

Ahn Chul-soo and Na Gyeong-won take a quick step in’people’s life’

Representatives Ahn and former lawmakers I, who previously declared running for the mayor of Seoul, continued their’people’s lives’ on this day. On the 15th, CEO Ahn, who volunteered to collect samples from citizens wearing blue protective clothing at a temporary screening office in front of the Seoul City Hall, visited Sajik 2, Jongno-gu, designated as an urban maintenance area, and chatted with residents. Focusing on the two keywords’Corona 19′ and’Real Estate’, it is expanding the contact area with the public welfare field. Representative Ahn pointed to the place covered with blue plastic because the roof collapsed on that day, and said, “Can you believe that this is a city center in the middle of downtown Seoul? It is the duty and responsibility of Seoul to develop the area according to the conditions of the site and in accordance with the needs of the residents.” “The insistence on urban regeneration in areas requiring redevelopment has resulted in the inconvenience of residents as well as threatening safety.” The late Mayor Park Won-soon criticized the urban renewal policy. On the same day, former lawmaker Na Kyung-won announced the first pledge to establish a 6 trillion won “public welfare emergency rescue fund” at the Company’s Power of the People in Yeouido, Seoul. Rep. Na said, “According to the Bank of Korea, 250,000 households, a total of 10% of the nation’s 243 million self-employed households, are in a liquidity crisis. Especially in the Seoul area, sales of small businessmen fell to 57% at the end of the year due to the third coronavirus pandemic. “If a fund of up to 6 trillion won is raised for a total of 1.2 million people, including 500,000 small business owners, 280,000 self-employed people, special high school (special type workers), freelancers, and artists, it will break the breath of the Korean economy and the hearts of the people. Turju will be a strong seed money.”

Ahn Cheol-soo and Na Gyeong-won, Oh Se-hoon, the temperature difference in running for mayor On the other hand, the two candidates showed mixed reactions to the Mayor Oh, who declared the run for the day. Representative Ahn, who has an edge among opposition candidates in various opinion polls, said, “I think it is desirable for many opposition candidates to compete. “I think that we are a co-worker to lay the foundation for the opposition to win through competition in good faith.” On the other hand, former Mayor Oh and former Congressman Na, who was in the party contest, pointed out the’political vacancy’ of Mayor Oh’s 10 years and set a corner. He told reporters after the announcement of his pledge, “Oh, when I look at the mayor’s declaration to run, I don’t know why or how he declared it,” he said. “In 10 years, Seoul has changed a lot. I will draw out well, who have a wealth of political experience and state affairs experience while continuing to work in the National Assembly.” By Noh Hyun-woong, staff reporter [email protected]
