People's Strength candidate Yoon Seok-yeol held an emergency press conference yesterday (27th) and announced that the unification negotiations with the People's Party candidate Ahn Cheol-soo, which had been going on since the 7th, had broken down.



[Yoon Seok-yeol / People's Power Presidential Candidate: We have agreed to notify you after determining the time and place (including whether or not to meet).

Unfortunately, however, at 9 o'clock this morning, I was notified of the failure of the unification (finally received.)]



Rep. Jang Je-won and Lee Tae-gyu, who received full power from the two candidates, reached a final agreement through early morning negotiations, but candidate Ahn unilaterally notified of the breakdown. .



Candidate Yoon said he did not know the reason for the notification of the breakup, but said, "If you decide a time and place even now, I would like to meet and talk in person."



Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo countered that although there was a discussion with the People's Power, he was not a representative with full authority, and in terms of content, it was not worth considering because there was no expression of candidate Yoon's position on the opinion poll-style primary election.



[Ahn Cheol-soo/People's Party Presidential Candidate: There was no such opinion or expression of position on the national primary.

There were no such words as why not, why not, or why not, or why not.]



The People's Power also disclosed the process of unification negotiations, one by one, since the beginning of this month.



It is said that the two sides also discussed how to form the Presidential Transition Committee to form a joint government after the regime change and how to organize the next administration.



In response, Lee Tae-gyu, general election director of the People's Party, countered that he did not go out with full power, so there was no 'agreement', and that it was a meeting to hear what the people's power was suggesting other than the polls proposed by candidate Ahn.
