Ahn Cheol-soo, the reason for choosing the party… Challenging the party, Nak-yeon Lee, teacher Banhan, stake in the common government

The failure of former Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon, who failed to differentiate himself from the incumbent president while gaining the upper hand in the next presidential battle through the power of the people and expansion within the party after uniting with the people, was the background behind the failure of former Prime Minister Lee Nak-yeon, who was not able to differentiate himself from the incumbent president. There is an observation that the teacher was used as the opposite teacher. In particular, none of the past presidents have ever been prime ministers. In addition, it is expected that Chairman Ahn will be able to secure more shares in the joint government as he declines the post of prime minister.

Chairman Ahn said at a press conference on the same day, “I personally thought that it would be better to open up a space for the elected person to express their will. For the past 10 years, I need time to recharge.”

Chairman Ahn’s decision, which is being discussed as a strong candidate for the prime minister, is interpreted as meaning that he will challenge the next party after unity with the people.

Chairman Ahn cited the ostensible reason for refusing to serve as prime minister by giving him a breather so that the ‘joint government’ would not become a shackle to President-elect Yoon’s state affairs, but he observed that the political circles put more weight on the party power than on entering the cabinet. this comes out

Even if the People’s Party, in which Chairman Ahn is the leader, is legitimate, there is a high probability of losing the presidential election five years later under the circumstances that there is no ‘Ahn Cheol-su-gye’ in the power of the people. With this in mind, it is necessary to strengthen the organization and foundation within the party from now on.

If Chairman Ahn, who represents centrist politics, gives strength to the expansion of the people’s power in the local elections in June and gives them a great victory over the people’s power, it is highly likely that he will challenge the party leader next year. observations emerge.

Chairman Ahn also said, “I think I have a lot to say about things that will expand the party’s support base and stabilize the regime in the future. So I want to do things like that.” Some say that Chairman Ahn’s remarks that he would expand the party’s support base and promote the stabilization of the regime were ultimately meant to support the June 1 local election.

The fact that Chairman Ahn has never been elected as a prime minister among past presidents also seems to have played a role in his judgment.

There is also talk that Lee Nak-yeon, former prime minister, may have been a teacher. As the first prime minister of the Moon Jae-in government, former Prime Minister Lee received the trust of President Moon and set a record as the longest-serving prime minister in history. Defeated.

There is no precedent for politicians who used to be prime ministers, such as former Prime Minister Kim Jong-pil, former Prime Minister Lee Hoi-chang, former Prime Minister Ko Kun, and former Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn. In the executive branch, the prime minister occupies the second highest rank after the president, but the frame of the president’s ‘second person’ may limit his challenge to the presidency. If the Yun Seok-yeol administration fails to settle in the first half of its reign and repeats the situation, it loses public support and loses the power of government, the Prime Minister cannot be free from the theory of responsibility.

As Chairman Ahn gave up his post as prime minister, he moved away from the peak of power for a while, but it is expected that he will take more of the “share” of the joint government.

Contrary to the observation that the transition committee will oversee the selection of state affairs and support the Yoon Seok-yeol government’s soft landing, contrary to the observation that he will go directly to the prime minister, Chairman Ahn formalized his intention not to participate in the cabinet when he chose the party, but had no influence on the fragmentation of the Yun Seok-yeol government. There are also observations that it will not be exercised. It is said that Chairman Ahn may exercise the right to appoint ministers in some ministerial positions, including in the field of science and technology.

Chairman Ahn did not hide his will. Chairman Ahn said, “First of all, didn’t you make a promise to the public? In the sense of keeping the promises made to the public to the common government, I plan to diligently recommend qualified, clean and capable people as candidates for minister,” he said.

The reminder of the ‘promise to the people’ is also interpreted as meaning that the joint government does not intend to give up ‘Ahn Cheol-soo’s stake’. As they agreed to form a common government in the process of unification during the presidential election this time, it can be seen that in fact, he was nailed to the power to appoint a minister instead of the prime minister.

In addition, some observers from the political circles speculate that the AhnLab stock disposal issue may have had an impact. As stocks account for more than 90% of Ahn’s total fortune, it is pointed out that it would have been practically difficult to give up stocks worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

The Power of the People Some say that the strong Vito current within the Democratic Party was the background that Chairman Ahn rejected the prime minister. If Chairman Ahn steps forward as the first prime minister in a situation where the sentiment towards Chairman Ahn within the Democratic Party is not good due to the overturn of the declaration of the breakup of unification, the Democratic Party will take the lead and hold back the state affairs every time with the number of seats in front of the party, let alone cooperating in the female-so-your-university phase. It can shake the government.

Chairman Ahn may have felt burdened that the suspicion of ‘Ahn Cheol-soo’s X-Files’ resurfaced centering on his passport. As the progressives such as Yoo Si-min publicly mentioned Ahn Cheol-soo’s X-Files, the controversy over Ahn and his wife’s transfer in the past has been highlighted again in the political arena. If Chairman Ahn becomes prime minister, the possibility cannot be ruled out that he may have passed out after undergoing rigorous verification at the personnel hearing.
