Former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, an opposition leader in the presidential election, reorganized the presidential campaign under the name of 'People's Camp'.
Kim Byung-min, a former member of the Emergency Response Committee for the People's Power, newly appointed as the spokesperson for the camp, said at a press conference at the National Assembly today (25th), "People's elections in which everyone participates to create a country where common sense of the people is common by gathering the will of the people longing for a change of government. We want to create a camp.”
Spokesperson Kim said that former lawmaker Lee Hak-jae was appointed as a full-time special adviser for political affairs, Ham Kyung-woo, chairman of the People's Power Gyeonggi Gwanggap Party Association, as full-time political assistant, former lawmaker Kim Kyung-jin as full-time foreign cooperation special adviser, and Jang Ye-chan as youth special adviser, respectively.
In addition, it was introduced that former lawmaker Shin Ji-ho was appointed as the deputy head of the situation room, former lawmaker Park Min-sik as the head of the planning department, and former lawmaker Lee Du-ah and former People's Power spokesman Yoon Hee-seok as spokespersons, respectively.
With this, in addition to the existing spokesperson Lee Sang-rok, a four-person spokesperson system has been established.
The fact that former President Yoon recruited a large number of former lawmakers and current and former members of the party to strengthen the camp's political affairs and public affairs functions is interpreted as an attempt to prevent a decline in approval ratings by strengthening communication.
At the same time, it is also attracting attention that many of the people who joined this camp are so-called 'Kim Jong-in's people'.
Kim Byung-min, Yoon Hee-seok, and Ham Gyeong-yeong, and three other members, served as non-commissioned members, party spokespersons, and vice-president of the party organization, respectively, under the former Kim Jong-in system.
This is the reason why there is an analysis that the intention of former Chairman Kim Jong-un will play a role behind the rearrangement of the Yun Seok-yeol camp.
In response, spokesperson Kim said in a meeting with reporters, "If former Chairman Kim had strongly opposed this, it would have been difficult for so many people to participate in the camp."
Therefore, it is observed that the so-called cooperative system between former Chairman Kim Jong-in and former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol is in operation.
Spokesperson Kim also said, "Politics is the art of possibility," and "it can have various open endings."
On the other hand, it seems that controversies will arise over the fact that people with the power of the people have joined the Yun Seok-yeol camp this time.
A key official from the People's Power said, "The party leadership has only allowed participation in the party's runner-up camp."
