Assemblyman Jang Byung-wan: "Lunar New Year Public Sentiment Hopes for Third Zone Launch"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Jang Byeong-wan, member of the National Assembly (Gwangju Dong·Nam-gu Gap), stated on the 26th, "During the Lunar New Year holiday, the local residents I met expressed great dissatisfaction with the government and ruling party over the prolonged economic recession with no visible exit, but at the same time, they said it is not like they can support the Liberty Korea Party. They were secretly hoping for the expansion of political options for local residents and the proper launch of a third zone (centrist pragmatic party)."

Assemblyman Jang said, "The key public sentiments during this Lunar New Year holiday were dissatisfaction with the prolonged economic recession, expectations for the proper launch of a third zone, and public opinion favoring 'person over party' based on experiences of side effects from local elections."

He emphasized, "Although recent opinion polls suggest strong support for the Democratic Party, in reality, many local residents who experienced the side effects of one-party dominance in the last local elections responded that they would focus on 'person over party' in this general election. By the time the Democratic Party primary ends, public opinion was nearly equal in judging and choosing the right candidate who can revive the local economy and lead regional development."
