“How many discussion sessions is the answer!” (Lee Tae-gyu, Secretary General of the National Assembly Party)
“Why do you keep being forced!” (Chung Yang-seok, Secretary General of the People’s Strength)
At around 2:30 pm on the 12th, the old castle flowed out of the conference room 225 of the main office of the National Assembly. The protagonist of the voice is the People’s Power and the National Assembly Party negotiating team to discuss the unification of candidates for the Seoul mayor’s by-election opposition.
“Don’t talk casually!” “Basic manners aren’t good!” The door of the conference hall opened in half an hour after harsh words continued for a while.
Secretary General Chung Yang-seok declared a breakdown in negotiations, saying, “I have nothing to announce today,” with a reminiscent face. It was four hours after the negotiations started at 11 am. The two sides also did not schedule the next negotiations.
The People’s Power and the People’s Party agreed on the 11th that “a single candidate will be elected on the 19th by conducting public opinion polls on the 17th and 18th.” On the 10th, Candidate Se-hoon Oh and National Party Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo met and promised to hold a visionary presentation to clarify the philosophy of the mayor of Seoul. A specific agreement was expected to come out on the 12th, the 3rd negotiating day, but it was catastrophic.
Conflicts of opinion continued at the closed meeting that day. Both sides started negotiations with a willingness to “let’s make a conclusion by ordering lunch as a lunch box,” but they ran a parallel line over the number of TV debates, the method of debate, and above all, the method of polling. However, as there is not much time until the 19th, the registration date of the Mayor of Seoul, it is expected that we will meet again on the weekend as early as possible.
Secretary General Lee Tae-gyu met with reporters after negotiations broke down and said, “Some opinions were close to each other, and some were not able to organize their thoughts, so we couldn’t reach an agreement.”
