On the 10th, Kim Jong-in, former Chairman of the People Power Emergency Response Committee, had a lunch meeting with Lee Joon-seok, former People Power Party Chairman, and former lawmaker Geum Tae-seop, head of the ‘New Choice’ Preparatory Committee for the founding of a new party, and said, “The two are reasonable people,” and “There is no choice but to work together.” “It is,” he said.
Former Chairman Kim said this to reporters following having lunch with former Representative Lee and Representative Geum Jeon on this day. Former Chairman Kim told reporters at his office that day, “The two are now saying they will create a new political force of their own,” and added, “The goals of the two are the same. But since there is nothing to do separately, you can think of it as a meeting with the purpose of collaborating with each other and saying, ‘Let’s move forward as one.’”
Former Chairman Kim said, “I know both of them well, and they wanted to meet each other, so I just created a space for them.” Regarding the prediction from some that the new party will be a ‘typhoon in a teacup’, he said, “I haven’t even tried it yet, so there’s nothing to say regarding it than whether it will work or not.” “You just have to watch it first,” he said.
Former Chairman Kim responded to former Representative Lee’s earlier statement that ‘non-sub-groups are also in contact’, saying, “The non-sub-groups are now saying that they must do something to survive politically because it seems that it will be difficult to get nominated if they are in the Democratic Party, and those people are guaranteed nomination. He said, “If I can, it will be with the Democratic Party.” He added, “We have to do it together with a special non-government group. There is absolutely no way (the new party) will become anything or anything like that.”
Former Chairman Kim said, “The reason why our country’s past third political parties failed was because people who failed to be nominated gathered together to form a party,” adding, “Wait and see. “I think it won’t work out as well as people think,” he said.
He said, “If this new political force presents what our country’s most serious agenda is and presents a plan, the people will judge, ‘Isn’t this new political force capable of changing our country’s politics?’” “I think we can integrate well,” he said.
In response to a reporter’s question, “Will the new party in the 3rd zone be comprised of former representative Lee and Rep. Geum?”, former Chairman Kim said, “There are several other people there now, right?” and “Not only those two, but also other people are more sympathetic. “I think we will unite,” he said.
Former Representative Lee and Representative Geum Jeon did not say anything regarding the meeting that day. Former Representative Lee said on Facebook, “I have had several opportunities to sit down with Rep. Geum Tae-seop, but this was my first opportunity to have a conversation on the topic of political reform.” He added, “I will continue to have conversations with various people who are interested in political reform.” “He said. Rep. Geum Jeon said in a phone call with this newspaper, “It was a private meeting,” and “It was an opportunity to talk candidly regarding various issues, and there were parts I agreed with (former representative Lee’s words) and there were parts I didn’t.”
