[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Wooseok] As the ruling and opposition parties express various opinions regarding the unification with Ahn Cheol-soo, the presidential candidate of the People’s Party, Floor Leader Kwon Eun-hee criticized related remarks on the 7th.

On that day, Floor Leader Kwon appeared on YTN Radio’s "Lee Dong-hyung’s News Face-off" and pointed out, "It seems that 'Somaek' will be served at the place where Candidate Yoon makes a final deal," adding, "Candidate Ahn does not drink at all."

In response to the host’s question, "People like former Governor Won Hee-ryong from the People Power Party are bringing up unification talks, and Representative Lee Jun-seok is making disparaging remarks about the People’s Party and Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo every day. Do you see this as a two-track approach?" she criticized, "The People Power Party is arrogant no matter which way they do it."

She continued, "Currently, Candidate Yoon Seok-youl has about 20% less support compared to the public’s desire for regime change, and what this support rate means is that there is no expandability," adding, "Therefore, whether it is 'trying to use Candidate Ahn Cheol-soo’s expandability' or 'cutting off the sprout of Candidate Ahn’s expandability,' either way, they are talking with an arrogant mindset."

Floor Leader Kwon drew a clear line when asked by the host, "Is there absolutely no official or behind-the-scenes contact with the People Power Party?" saying, "There is absolutely none."

When asked, "The Democratic Party is also repeatedly sending love calls. What do you think about this?" she said, "Democratic Party Leader Song Young-gil mentioned a responsible prime minister system and coalition government, but didn’t the People’s Party first make demands to the Democratic Party before mentioning these? They asked for an apology regarding the Druking Kim Kyung-soo comment manipulation, but since they only say what they want to say, they are not a counterpart with whom an end can be reached at all."
