On the morning of the 19th, candidate Ahn Chul-soo made a sudden concession over the method of unification, while the so-called “beautiful unity” of Oh Se-hoon and Ahn Chul-soo, who had planned to do so by the 18th, before the candidate registration date (19th), collapsed. If you look at the meeting of the People’s Strength Emergency Response Committee and the Senior Citizens’ Meeting on the morning of this morning, you can see the inside of the people’s strength that ultimately tried to achieve unification in their own way.
Pride of the 1st opposition party
Source block effect in the 3rd zone
At the meeting on the day, the presidential deputy chairman Kim Jong-in said, “The power of the people, the first opposition party, plays a leading role in this election, leading the election to victory, and the power of the people to prepare for the next presidential election again. I think it will be.” Chairman Kim said, “The value of the political party is to lay the groundwork for taking power,” and emphasized “authority” again, saying, “This is party politics.”
This is a remark to confirm with the head of the 1st opposition party that the public criticism that the re-election in April is a preliminary war for the presidential election. Specifically, this is a remark that even former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, who is running No. 1 in the opposition to the presidential election, has in mind.
On this day, Congressman Kim Ki-hyun of the power of the people also said, “As the eldest brother in the opposition, we have the line to protect and the vision of the ruling party cannot be given up.” Along with the message that unification should be done, but cannot withdraw, it is argued that the presidential election should be considered with this unification, as Chairman Kim said.
This can be considered in connection with the remarks of Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon. Candidate Oh posted a post on Facebook on the 14th, “worrying about the division of opposition,” “We have always been at the center of the division of opposition, and the unification of candidates who will conceive division will lead to division in the next presidential election.” He said, “There are forces trying to promote the division of opposition powers by causing a division of the power of the people on the basis of political reform. In next year’s presidential election, will we have to go through another difficult process of unification.”
Candidate Ahn Chul-soo, who says’standing at the center of the opposition division’, is the candidate Cheol-soo Ahn, and the’force that seeks to promote the opposition division’ is the force that tries to prepare for the next presidential election, centering on the third zone. This force actively appeals to former President Yoon for solidarity in the Third Zone. In this unification negotiation, if the people’s power is depressed, Ahn will be given the initiative, and there is a voice of concern that Yun can prepare for the next presidential election with Ahn outside the power of the people.
On this day, many lawmakers stressed the importance of unification, saying that unification is a promise to the people. However, no one mentioned the possibility of concession of the people’s power. As Chairman Kim poured out words that were close to candidate Ahn, it was criticized by some conservatives as “an obstacle to unification,” but it is similar to that of sticking to a strong position.
During the meeting of the people’s power that day, Candidate Ahn announced at a press conference that she would accept the unification of the people’s power side. After the meeting, Chairman Kim said, “I think it’s a good thing for you to respond so it’s not too late.”
Rationality of the claim to include landline phones
There is a reasonable interpretation that it will be difficult for Candidate Ahn, who has no power, to maintain a strong strategy against the 1st opposition party, but there are limitations to Ahn’s argument. Candidate Ahn insisted on 100% wireless phone survey method in public opinion polls, and Candidate Oh insisted that 5-10% of fixed line phone rate should be reflected.
People’s Power The Planning and Coordination Bureau needs a public opinion poll that reflects landline telephones in order to reflect the opinions of all voters, including the vulnerable, who can’t even use wireless telephones, on the 18th. They reinforced their arguments by providing them to reporters.
From the standpoint of the people’s strength, it is advantageous to increase the ratio of fixed-line telephones, which are more likely to be answered by the elderly. However, there is validity in the argument that it should include landline telephones apart from Yubuli. With both candidates already listed on the ballot, candidate Ahn cannot be free from criticism that he is selfish if he insists on asking for 100% wireless phone calls.
Formally disadvantageous, results may vary
Nevertheless, there is no possibility that Ahn will be disadvantaged in a public opinion poll, as candidate Ahn has accepted other opinions that may be against him. However, as a result, it is unclear what impact Ahn’s opposition supporters will have as he feels responsibility for the failure of unification before candidate registration and has made a big concession.
In an editorial on the 19th, the Chosun Ilbo criticized both candidates for the failure of’beautiful unity’, but said, “The more difficult thing to understand is that Kim Jong-in, chairman of the National Power of the People’s Forces, is an enlarged chairman.” I am struggling,” he criticized.
Chairman Kim suffers a big blow to his leadership just by the situation in which the power of the people cannot make a candidate. This is because it is difficult to not even be able to make a candidate for the Seoul Mayor’s by-election in a situation where even the presidential kingmaker is expected. Few people think that his unreasonable words and actions are judgments for the conservatives as a whole. Candidate Zoljie Oh even got a negative image of being dragged by the party.
Ahead of the 2002 presidential election, in the process of unifying candidates Roh Moo-hyun and Chung Mong-joon, candidate Roh Moo-hyun embraced an unfavorable method and made concessions, but the case of winning in the end cannot be ignored. At that time, Candidate Roh accepted the unfavorable method of unification through public opinion polls and the questionnaire content was also unfavorable. In the process of making concessions, it can be said that the hearts of the voters moved.
