Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate of the People’s Party, said on the 13th, “The Democratic Party, which has 180 seats, is good at managing state affairs. It’s not like that at all.” It actively countered the point of ‘Since there are only three seats in the People’s Party, it will be difficult to run state affairs smoothly even if Ahn becomes president’.
Candidate Ahn said in an interview with MBC News that day, “If elected, we will form a unified national cabinet. We will use experts in the field to solve the problem regardless of left or right.” Earlier on the 11th, Democratic Party leader Song Young-gil said to Ahn on the 11th, “Is it possible to solve the state of affairs that you think with a ‘mini-party’ of three members of the National Assembly?”
Regarding the agreement between Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung and presidential candidate Yoon Seok-yeol for the power of the people on the same day, ‘Let’s have a bilateral TV debate before the Lunar New Year holiday’, they raised their voices saying, “It’s really not fair.” He criticized it as “ignoring candidates who have double-digit (opinion polls) support.”
Regarding the discussion of the unification of candidates with Candidate Yoon, Candidate Ahn said, “It is a tactic that both parties with vested interests are trying to get rid of me somehow.” said Candidate Ahn said, “I came out to change the government to be elected president,” he said.
He also pointed out, “It is a bit arrogant for politicians to say what will happen to voters’ minds,” he pointed out to Lee Jun-seok, representative of People’s Power, who predicted that Yoon’s approval rating would rise quickly. “As long as moral issues, family issues, and various experiences remain the same, (Candidate Yoon’s approval rating) won’t change much,” he predicted.
