Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol (pictured) chose either the third power or the power of the people, and the proportion of public opinion that he would’take it’ in the presidential election was close to 50%. As Former President Yoon emerged as the core of the future political reform, on the 11th, the people’s strength and the People’s Party as well as the former Barun Mirae Party representative Sohn Hak-gyu, who had left the political world, delivered a message to the former President.
As a result of a survey conducted on the 9-10th by Realmeter at OhmyNews on that day, the question asked,’Would you like to take the candidate for the presidential election if Yun is running for the presidential election as a political party or independent candidate other than the Democratic Party or People’s Power candidate? 45.3% of the respondents said they will take it. Even if the political party to which they belong is the power of the people, 45.2% of respondents said they would take it, and the result was not very different.
Interest is also focused on whether former President Yun can continue a strong support position with `personalism` alone. This is because if the influence of the former President Yun’s own influence overwhelms his political orientation, he can be relatively free from decisions to join a specific political party in the future.
In fact, in the same survey, 49.6% of respondents whose ideology tends to be’moderate’ said that they would shoot, 49.6% if Yun was running as a candidate for third power, and 49.3% if they were running as a candidate for the power of the people. It is difficult for new political figures who are usually expected of middle-class voters to join a conservative party because of fear of losing their supporters, but in the current state, whether or not to join Yun is not a big variable.
In the future, as the political reorganization centered on former President Yun is discussed, the opposition parties are sending beckoning gestures to him one after another. On the day, Ho-young Joo, the leader of the people’s power, said, “There are people in our party who have close friends, so there may be contacts, but the official contact of the party leadership is up to the will of former President Yun.” Candidate Se-hoon Oh, Mayor of the People’s Power, told reporters, “It is not directly (with former President Yoon), but some kind of communication has begun.” Lee Tae-gyu, general secretary of the People’s Party, also said, “Ahn Cheol-soo and former president Yun have a lot in common,” he said. “There can be a natural meeting.” On this day, former CEO Sohn Hak-gyu advised on his Facebook page, “Former President Yoon must take a new path. You should not listen to the thin tricks of the existing politics or get swept away by a party to seize power.” He stressed, “The people do not want the existing decadent politics. Even if it is difficult, new forces must be united.”
In an interview with a radio program, former President Yoon and Suk Dong-hyun, a former Seoul District District Prosecutor’s Office, a student at Seoul National University School of Law, said in an interview with a radio program, “Originally, former President Yun was a person who had no intention of politics. He said, “I can’t do it now. I think I have no choice but to enter the political world regardless of my will.”
