He continued, “I have no intention of putting a spoon on the existing political forces.” “In order to change the political landscape and design the future of the Republic of Korea, it is not a fight between false progressives and conservatives, but rather a group that causes a rebellion from below. I will do politics,” he said.
He also reaffirmed the possibility of solidarity with Ahn Cheol-soo, the leader of the People’s Party, who remains in the third zone due to a breakdown in unity with the people’s power, saying, “I have no plans to do that.” “Right now, it is a small start-up company with no tax and no money or organization, but we will gather new political forces to complete the presidential election.”
Former Deputy Prime Minister Kim explained his connection to the Chungcheong region and explained that “Chungcheong region’s long-awaited theory is not about narrow regionalism, but about the politics and role of integration and coexistence.” In particular, he aimed at former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol, saying, “Even though I was not born or raised, I call it my hometown and try to use it politically.”
He said, “Giving more and more equal opportunities to the people, ending the division and division, and achieving unity are the topics of this era.” We have to come up with a solution to Korea, but from the first president to the Baekje era, we are talking about the passing of time, holding on to the legs of others and only scratching them.”
