President-elect Ahn Cheol-soo said on the 12th, “I wanted to give advice in the field in which I am specialized, but there was no such process.” After Lee Tae-gyu, a member of the People’s Party, suddenly stepped down from his position as a transition committee the day before, even Chairman Ahn said ‘boneless words’, and the atmosphere surrounding the formation of the ‘Yun Seok-yeol-Ahn Cheol-soo joint government’ is becoming clearer.
After visiting the general situation room of the Seoul Office in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the same day, Chairman Ahn met with reporters and recalled the promise to the public regarding the operation of a joint government at the time of unification of the opposition candidates during the presidential election period. This is to the effect that his opinions were not reflected in the first cabinet appointment announced on the 10th.
He said, “The reason I am appointed as the transition chairperson is because it is very important to draw up a blueprint for the new government together.” revealed However, he added, “I hope that those elected this time will put it into practice in line with the new government blueprint I am drawing.”
Regarding the second cabinet appointment to be announced on the 13th as early as the 13th, he said, “It doesn’t matter who you are on your side or who you are.” He said, “I think that if you have professionalism, morality, and leadership along with reformability, you can contribute to the Republic of Korea.” said
He also said that lawmaker Lee, who was close to him, contacted him before announcing his resignation as a member of the transition committee. Chairman Ahn said, “Rep. Lee first informed me of his intention to resign. It seems that there were many difficulties during the transition process during the presidential election and candidate unification process.” When asked, ‘What part specifically was difficult?’, he avoided answering, saying, “It’s a personal story.” Regarding the possibility of Lee’s return, he said, “I persuaded myself, but my will was very strong.”
