The People’s Power and the People’s Party are expected to make a ‘declaration of unity’ as early as the 17th. Ahn Cheol-soo, chairman of the Presidential Transition Committee, was originally scheduled to hold a press conference on the 17th to commemorate one month of the establishment of the transition committee, but it was postponed by one day to the 18th.
In a phone call with News 1 on the 16th, a representative of the transition committee said, “Chairman Ahn said, ‘The 18th is the one month anniversary of the establishment of the transition committee, so let’s do it on that day.’ It was delayed by a day.”
Chairman Ahn was scheduled to hold a press conference at the takeover committee in Tongui-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul on the weekend on the 17th and introduce the outline of the ‘Secondary Plan for State Affairs’, which he had gathered for the first month of his inauguration by division.
However, as the schedule was suddenly delayed, speculation is rising that the possibility of an announcement on the 17th was in mind. As President-elect Yoon Seok-yeol and Chairman Ahn met at a dinner on the 14th and reached an agreement on an ‘quick reunification,’ the merger negotiations are on the fast track.
Lee Cheol-gyu, the general assistant to the elected president-elect, who was put into the negotiation of the merger due to Yoon’s ‘despatch’, said in a phone call, “The union will be finished tomorrow (17th) or the day after (18th).
Another official said, “(Negotiation) went perfectly well to the extent that it will be negotiable tomorrow as soon as possible.”
The final reef is the issue of ’employment succession’. People’s Power has agreed to hire and succeed seven members of the People’s Party, but opinions of both parties are divided over rank and treatment.
Power of the People It is known that regular workers’ wages are higher than that of the People’s Party, but there are voices within the party that guaranteeing the same level of treatment to the People’s Party officials who succeeded in employment could lead to a ‘reverse discrimination’ controversy.
The Labor Union of the People’s Power Secretariat issued a statement on the 16th and said, “We welcome the succession of the 7 People’s Party Secretariat workers,” but “the ‘salary’ that the 7 People’s Party Office workers were receiving. In the case of succession of employment, sufficient guarantees should be made.”
He continued, “It is not in line with the spirit of quick unity that both parties demand from each other by raising or adding conditions other than salary guarantees,” he said.
A key official from the People’s Power said, “The negotiations for unity are nearing the final stage, but there are some issues of rank and treatment (of the People’s Party officials) that need to be sorted out a little more.” It seems like I delayed the time by a day.”
