[Jeonju (=Jeonbuk) Asia Economy Reporter Wondara] Son Hak-gyu, the Standing Election Countermeasures Committee Chairman of the Minsheng Party, appealed for support for the Minsheng Party as a check party against the Democratic Party by campaigning for candidate Jeong Dong-young (Jeonju-si Byeong).

On the afternoon of the 8th, Chairman Son said at the Jeonju-si General Stadium Intersection in Jeonbuk Jeonju, "The Democratic Party regime that you want to support and maintain should not only have unilateral support but also have economic forces together to achieve a balance of checks and cooperation," adding, "We must not give blind support but actively criticize mistakes and support by putting Jeong Dong-young forward."

He continued, "Even if you support the Moon Jae-in administration, if you create only Democratic Party lawmakers from Honam and defeat Jeong Dong-young, this regime will underestimate Honam," and appealed, "It is not yet time for you to give up on Jeong Dong-young. He is a person who studies endlessly," urging, "Show the pride and dignity of Jeonju."

Chairman Son said, "(Citizens of Jeonju) may have complicated thoughts these days," and added, "We elected President Moon Jae-in and wanted him to be the president of Honam, but to be honest, we have not done it properly."

He also said, "Nevertheless, I know very well that the citizens of Jeonju have a worried heart about what will happen if the Democratic Party loses in this general election, since Moon Jae-in is still our president," and emphasized, "Although I constantly criticized the economic and security failures of the Moon Jae-in administration as the leader of the Bareunmirae Party, I believe that we must not hand over this country to the reactionary Future United Party."

Candidate Jeong said, "Just as the High-ranking Officials' Crime Investigation Unit (Gongsoocheo) was established and election reform was shown, we must go toward a reform coalition and coalition government," emphasizing, "For that, the Minsheng Party must also revive so that the Moon Jae-in government can follow the path of a reform government."

He also said, "I am a person who has created and supported democratic governments since the Kim Dae-jung era and supported President Moon’s reforms," adding, "I want to get the opportunity to complete the efforts I have made for the development of Jeonju over the past four years. Please let me serve you as a greater servant."
