[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Cho Eun-hee, Seocho District Mayor and a preliminary candidate for the Seoul mayoral by-election from the People Power Party, proposed a 'head-to-head debate' on the 15th, saying, "Candidate Park Young-sun is copying her pledges."

Cho appeared on TBS's Kim Eo-jun's News Factory that day and said, "I can beat any candidate from the ruling party."

He said, "Especially candidate Park Young-sun copies all my pledges," adding, "As a former Minister of SMEs and Startups, she should protect new technologies of venture companies, but she is stealing the opposition candidate's technology."

Cho, who expressed his desire for a one-on-one debate, said, "She clearly copied my pledges, but when I talk about it, she appears on the next broadcast and says that is an old-fashioned way of thinking," adding, "So I really want to have a head-to-head debate."

The pledges Cho accused of being copied relate to the undergrounding of the Gyeongbu Expressway and polycentric city development. Cho explained, "I have been advocating for the undergrounding of the Gyeongbu Expressway for seven years, and candidate Park followed this pledge."

Regarding the 'joint government' being discussed in the opposition camp, he expressed a positive stance. Cho said, "It is a fresh proposal," adding, "It was created based on the consensus that opposition unification is the mandate of Seoul citizens." He further added, "There are such cases in local governments in Europe."
