Let's talk in detail with reporter Lee Hyun-young of the Ministry of Political Affairs.



Q. Ahn Cheol-soo, why did you propose to unify?



[Reporter Lee Hyun-young: When I asked a key person on Candidate Ahn's side, he said that there was too much pressure inside and outside the party for unification.

To some extent, it is said that the candidate was in a situation where he could not do his job properly because of the unification questions everywhere he went, so he came to the conclusion that if it was unavoidable, he had to break through head-on, It is said

that they expressed their intention to present unification through a survey.]



Q. Is there any possibility of unification through an opinion poll?



[Reporter Lee Hyun-young: Negotiations between the two parties will proceed, but it does not appear to be easy at the moment.

Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol's side is so tough. According to Yun's side, candidate Yoon is four or five times ahead of the polls in approval ratings, but the method suggested by Ahn cannot be accepted because there is a risk of adverse selection by the supporters of the passport. no see.

An official also dismissed it, saying, "Unifying public opinion polls is a devil's invitation that wastes time and erases the need for regime change."

There are also observations that a dramatic debate can take place as long as Candidate Ahn, who had been very aggressive about unification within the power of the people, came into the discussion of unification by himself.

For this reason, there are also observations that heavy-duty figures such as Kim Han-gil, who served as co-chairman of Candidate Ahn and the New Politics Alliance for Democracy, can try to persuade Ahn behind the scenes.]



Q. What is the Democratic Party's reaction?



[Reporter Lee Hyun-young: First, the Democratic Party refrained from making official comments.

Within the party, the reaction to go calmly because something was to come was mixed with the disappointment that he had chosen the opposition party in the end, although he had worked hard on candidate Ahn through the unified government.

However, in the end, there is an atmosphere where both sides are paying attention to the follow-up negotiations, saying that it will be difficult to achieve unification due to the difference in conditions between Candidates Yoon and Ahn.]
