Ahn Cheol-soo, the head of the National Assembly Party, is giving an interview with Maeil Business Daily on the morning of the 28th, revealing his views on the Seoul mayoral bid next April. [김호영 기자]In an interview with Maeil Economic Daily on the 28th, Ahn Chul-soo, the head of the National Assembly Party, said: “I spoke with Kim Jong-in, chairman of the Emergency Response Committee of the Popular Forces, before the press conference to declare the candidacy for mayor of Seoul “. Representative Ahn said he called President Kim first. It is noteworthy if the relationship between the two, which until now has been cold, will gradually narrow under the banner of the “solidarity opposition.”
When asked about the possibility of joining the people’s power, Chief Executive Ahn said: “We need a framework that allows not only the people’s power, the people’s party, but also third parties to come together.” “Isn’t it a difficult situation?” The following are questions and answers.
“Do you have plans to meet with President Kim?
▷ I spoke before the press conference to declare a race. (To President Kim), and then to Ho-young Joo.
“It seems that this is the first time I have spoken with President Kim.
▷ He just said ‘I know’.
– You haven’t contacted me since?
▷ I met you first and talked about the rules, and I think that’s not the case. In January, you need to compete for the vision while the policies are announced.
“The leadership of the people’s force is a cold reaction to opposition solidarity.
▷ Is it not the obligation and responsibility of the leadership to reflect the views of the party as much as possible? However, the opposition’s goal to win is the same. I’m sure you can find a way if you comment.
-The most desirable candidate unification method.
▷ We have to see which method can expand the extension further. Passports have many cards and organizations that can be used. Making a difference requires not only the power of the people and supporters of the National Assembly, but also the rational progress of the disappointing reform trends of the current government. Instead of one party earning a little more.
“It seems there is no intention to unite the force of the people.
▷ Is it possible to expand the extension sufficiently with that method? I want to ask the opposite question.
“Is it that all the opposition candidates under the so-called ‘Big Top’ will be elected?
▷ Even if I do that, I wonder if I will win. You need a framework in which all third parties can come together. It would be nice if we could create a framework within the power of the people, but is it a difficult situation right now?
“If he cannot become a single opposition candidate at the end of the contest.
▷ You must help the candidate (winner) to be chosen.
“Isn’t he going to come out separately as a candidate for the National Assembly Party?
▷ Yes. A candidate who is chosen so that everyone agrees will come out as the only candidate for the opposition.
“The popularity of popular power is on the rise.
▷ When the Democratic Party and the Open Democratic Party are combined, it is almost 40%. The approval rate for people’s strength hovers around 20%. It is impossible on its own.
―How do you see former legislator Na Gyeong-won and former Seoul mayor Oh Se-hoon, who are considered the influential players of people’s power?
▷ It is desirable to have more competition. I think it increases the chances of a single opposition candidate being elected. The only thing is that, if the fight is fierce, it ends and it becomes an enemy. I hope this contest is positive.
“I won third place in the 2018 Seoul mayor’s election. There are voices that doubt the competitiveness of the elections.
▷ None of the active politicians received a 20% approval rating for their personal competitiveness without running for a large party.
“There are also doubts about whether it is true that the will to power is strong due to many concessions.
▷ I am more willing to reform than anyone. This election for the mayor of Seoul should be won by the opposition, but I think I am the right person. He is a medical expert and an IT entrepreneur. No matter where you look in the world, no politician has the same experience as me.
“Is there a decisive reason for choosing to run?”
▷ There were three main things. It’s the president’s lie about the undemocratic functioning of the National Assembly, discipline against Attorney General Yoon Seok-yeol, and vaccines. I thought it wouldn’t work.
“The solution to the real estate problem.
▷ The current government used a completely incorrect policy that caused housing instability. The supply policy should provide three things: ensure the number of houses, ensure the quality of the house and the location. But I just tried to match the numbers. I will correct this. Urban regeneration is a concept that includes reconstruction and redevelopment.
