Heo Eun-ah on Geum Tae-seop Joining the Party: "We Must Keep All Possibilities Open"

Former Democratic Party lawmaker Geum Tae-seop is attending the People Power Party's freshman lawmakers' meeting "Myeongbulheojeon Bosuda" held at the National Assembly Members' Office Building on the 18th, and is having a conversation with People Power Party lawmaker Heo Eun-ah.

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Young-eun] Heo Eun-ah, a member of the People Power Party, stated regarding the possibility of Geum Tae-seop, former member of the Democratic Party of Korea, joining the People Power Party, "All possibilities should be kept open."

On the 19th, Heo appeared on MBC Radio's 'Kim Jong-bae's Focus' and said, "If a timing and method that the public can accept are found, it could be interpreted as possible for former member Geum to join." Earlier, on the 18th, former member Geum was invited to the People Power Party's freshman meeting led by Heo, called 'Myeongbulheojeon Conservative,' where he gave a lecture and stated, "Joining the party does not look good to the public."

Heo added, "We don't know how things will unfold. I think all possibilities should be kept open," but also said, "As far as I know, there are currently no members hoping for his joining. (Changing parties) does not look good to the public either."

Regarding former member Geum's announcement of his intention to run for Seoul mayor, Heo said, "From our opposition party's perspective, I think it's not a bad thing," and added, "The key point is that the opposition should create synergy to change the regime."

Heo also mentioned the possibility of a freshman lawmaker being nominated as a candidate for Seoul mayor. Heo said, "Since the rules make it inevitable for newcomers to enter the election, I believe a freshman or another newcomer will definitely emerge," and added, "In the case of Seoul mayor, I understand that freshman lawmakers Yoon Hee-sook and Kim Woong are being recommended."
