Former
presidential contender Ahn Cheol-soo on Thursday announced his plans to return
to politics, sending ripples through the political arena as parties gear up for
the general elections.
前總統參選人安哲秀週四宣布他重返政壇的計畫，為南韓政治舞台掀起漣漪，此時各黨在為（四月舉行的）國會選舉備戰。
"The world
is changing at the speed of light toward the future. Unfortunately, the country
remains in the past. A country that does not think about the future has no
future,"Ahn wrote on his social media account.
安在他的社群媒體帳號上寫道，「世界正以光速朝未來改變。不幸的是，這個國家仍留在過去。一個不思未來的國家就沒有未來」。
While Ahn is
once again calling for change, his actions have differed little from other
politicians － founding and merging parties, and
stepping down from posts following election defeats.
安雖又一次呼籲改變，但他的所作所為和其他政治人物幾乎毫無二致—成立與合併政黨，以及在敗選後辭職下台。
