[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Sim Sang-jung, the Standing Election Committee Chairperson of the Justice Party, stated on the 9th, "We must firmly oust the United Future Party, which is regressing to the past."

At the election committee meeting that day, Chairperson Sim said, "Furthermore, we must move toward a future that overcomes inequality and the climate crisis through bold Candlelight reforms. The Democratic Party alone is not enough. The Justice Party is the last stronghold of reform," emphasizing this point.

She added, "When the Justice Party leads reform, the Moon Jae-in administration will also be able to fulfill its role as a Candlelight government."

Regarding the satellite parties formed by the two major parties, she said, "While rationalizing trick politics under the name of realpolitik, the Justice Party has upheld its principles. The Justice Party is not a disposable, opportunistic party seeking just a few proportional seats," and boldly declared, "The Justice Party is an asset and a force leading South Korea toward progress."

She continued, "Each Justice Party lawmaker will advance South Korea ten to twenty times over. And the Justice Party, as a negotiating group of twenty lawmakers, will make the 21st National Assembly a progressive assembly," appealing for a party support rate of 30%.
