Candidate Cheol-soo Ahn, who challenges the power of the people, canceled the public schedule on the 6th and took a breather. He also said, “I will not use it in the future” for the phrase “unity Yun An (Yoon Seok-yeol and Ahn Cheol-soo)” and “Yoon Haek-gwan (key officials on President Yoon’s side)” the The President’s Office took up the matter with. When the presidential office issued a warning to Candidate Ahn, even using the phrase “enemy,” he lowered his body and checked his future response strategy.

Candidate Ahn said on MBC radio that day appeared and agreed on the issue raised by the President’s Office. Regarding the phrase ‘Yoonan Solidarity’ stated by Lee Jin-bok, the presidential secretary for political affairs, he said, “It meant respecting President Yoon’s state affairs tasks and implementing them, but if you think that’s a bad expression. , I won’t use it.” Regarding the word ‘Yoon Haek-gwan’, “I decided not to use it because it has a negative connotation. I had no such intention at all, and I didn’t know that (President Yoon) would think that,” he explained. Candidate Ahn also said, “If President Yoon was disappointed, I think I didn’t communicate properly.”

An official in the presidential office targeted Candidate Ahn the day before and said, “Anyone who tries to gain political advantage by expressing Yoon Haek-gwan, who has no substance, is a troublemaker and an enemy of state affairs .” Regarding the expression of Candidate Ahn of ‘Yun An Solidarity’, he criticized, “The claim that a person in charge of state affairs is in solidarity with a certain candidate is over the top.”

After appearing in a radio interview, Candidate Ahn canceled all public schedules, including a free food delivery service and other broadcast appearances scheduled for the day. Candidate Ahn’s camp explained, “We adjusted the schedule to check the situation and plan the political situation.” Kim Yeong-woo, head of the election countermeasures committee of Candidate Ahn’s camp, issued a statement saying, “I will do my best to make the convention a success by keeping in mind the position of the President’s office, which is concerned about fair elections. .” A camp official said in a phone call with a reporter, “Even if we explain in response to the negative, it gives the party members the appearance of fighting.”

Candidate Ahn seems to be holding his breath in a decision to avoid conflict with the presidency office by preventing Candidate Ahn from being exposed to the media even for a day. This is because the strength of contributing to the unification of presidential candidates and the launch of Yoon Seok-yeol’s government as chairman of the presidential transition committee will disappear if it becomes an image of a non-Yoon Seok-yeol when facing the presidential office. . On this day, Candidate Jin-seok Jeong, chairman of the emergency countermeasures committee, warned against the pro-Yun Seok-Yeol faction and candidate Kim Ki-Hyun’s color theory, offensive pro-union, and comments about Yun An Solidarity and Yoon Haek -weak, but did not issue a separate rebuttal. The ruling that the current ‘victim’ stance is advantageous for the break away (preliminary) vote approaching on the 8th and 9th may have worked too. Representative Ahn’s side is in a position to compete with Candidate Kim with the vision and policy that will lead to victory in the general election in the candidates’ vision presentation for the party convention held on the 7th.

Candidate Ahn is expected to walk a tightrope to compete with Candidate Kim while maintaining a good relationship with the future president’s office. He plans to give a slogan that leads to high awareness and victory in next year’s general election. However, within the party, analysts say it will not be easy for Ahn to maintain his identity as a pro-Yun candidate if the presidential office decides to attack Candidate Ahn in order to support Candidate Kim, as in the case of former lawmaker Na Gyeong -Won.
