“No flower pick-up” “One-time contest against” … Chul-soo Ahn did the most complicated calculations 野

Ahn Cheol-soo, chairman of the National Assembly Party, declares that he will run for mayor of Seoul by the “only opposition from the opposition.”

As for the power of the people, Ahn has suggested a way to win the contest with the power of the people as a way to form a “single opposition candidate.” However, after Ahn’s declaration of running for office, various views on Ahn’s “an opposition candidate” method from within and outside the party have deepened the opposition’s pain.

Kim Jong-in, chairman of the People’s Power Emergency Response Committee, said Ahn was running for “one of the candidates” at an online meeting of the emergency response committee called to vote on the appointment of the election committee chair. rehab on the afternoon of the 20th. And he discarded it.

It was reported that President Kim urged members of the people’s force to be “the representative of Ahn, and now the Seoul mayoral election is in full swing, and we must do our best” and “not respond to representative Ahn as much as possible”. It is interpreted that he has reiterated the existing position that President Ahn should join the force of the people and participate in the race for a single opposition candidate.

Former mayor Oh Se-hoon said on his social networking service (SNS): “The victory of the mayor of the unified opposition will be the cornerstone to revive the country. I hope that President Ahn’s participation in the opposition will be the point of departure of the opposition unit and lead to the reconquest of the regime. I hope, “he said.

However, Mayor Oh said: “Based on the power of the people, we will prepare a grand sketch of the great consolidation and unity of the opposition to win next year’s elections and the presidential elections.” I’ll do my best in any role. ”

Seocho-gu Mayor Cho Eun-hee also said on his SNS, “We welcome you as a great man,” and said, “While watching Ahn’s press conference, he will comprehensively list outstanding issues such as the prevention of the crown and real estate, and will solve problems with principles, practicality and common sense. He said, but it is a pity that there is no way to solve the problem how to fix it and how it works properly. ”

Mayor Cho said: “For 10 years since the inception of politics, it is not possible to have the privilege of assembling a flower pot or easily pass without the contest this time. If you want to run as the sole opposition candidate, you will join the power of the people of the 1st opposition party. So it is enough to play the contest fairly. ”

On the other hand, Kim Seon-dong, the former secretary general of the people’s power who ousted the mayor of Seoul, said on his SNS on the 21st: “I strongly oppose the ‘one-shot contest, including Ahn Cheol-soo. That route it’s never the way to win. ”A controversy arose such as the proportion of party members, which would only complicate the opposition.

Former Secretary-General Kim said, “The 103-seat power of the people can be pursued as the power of the people, and the party’s candidate will spark the people’s interest. So, candidate Ahn still makes sense in that situation.” If you are still a candidate, you can run a panopticon candidate contest. ”

Furthermore, representative Jeon Joo-hye said on her SNS, “The trend of the times is high in popularity, but we look forward to the emergence of a virgin person who can give expectations more than a pre-made politician who makes us tired.” “There is this,” he argued for the “front-line theory.”

Meanwhile, former legislator Na Gyeong-won, the most influential candidate in the opposition for mayor of Seoul, is reported to have responded via a news outlet as “an interesting development” regarding Ahn’s candidacy.
