[Asia Economy Reporter Han Seung-gon] On the 29th, former People Power Party lawmaker Na Kyung-won fiercely attacked Park Young-sun, the Democratic Party of Korea's Seoul mayoral candidate, during a campaign rally supporting Park Hyung-joon, the Busan mayoral candidate, saying, "Our people are not even allowed to buy a single can of Japanese beer, yet they themselves have bought a house in Tokyo. Truly remarkable people."

Also, on the previous day (28th), at a campaign rally for candidate Oh Se-hoon, she emphasized, "April 7th is the day to judge the Moon Jae-in administration," adding, "Through this election, we must definitely achieve a regime change by March next year and create the future of the Republic of Korea."

Former lawmaker Na's calls for 'judging the Moon Jae-in administration' are growing louder. Although she tasted defeat against candidate Oh in the final People Power Party Seoul mayoral primary on the 4th, she is actively supporting Oh and fueling the 'regime judgment' narrative. She is supporting the so-called 'Oh-Park' candidates from the sidelines, not only campaigning for Oh Se-hoon, who is fiercely competing with Park Young-sun for the Seoul mayor position, but also campaigning for Park Hyung-joon in Busan.

Regarding the 'People Power Party Native Japanese Collaborator' frame continuously pushed by the ruling party, former lawmaker Na sharply criticized Park Young-sun's 'Tokyo apartment' controversy, saying, "They always call our party native Japanese collaborators, but I don't know what they themselves are doing."

Meanwhile, on the 29th, at a campaign rally supporting Park Hyung-joon in Banyeo-dong, Haeundae-gu, Busan, she addressed the recent sudden dismissal of Kim Sang-jo, the Blue House policy chief, due to the 'jeonse price increase,' saying, "I saw today that (the Blue House) fired Kim Sang-jo, the policy chief. This government must be really desperate," adding, "It is said that Kim raised the rent of his jeonse house by 15 percent two days before the implementation of the lease protection law. Isn't this another facet of this government's hypocrisy?" and criticized the Moon Jae-in administration.

Regarding Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People Party, she said, "Now, all opposition parties are united in judging this government," and mentioned that (on April 1st) Leader Ahn will also come to support candidate Park. She argued, "Chairman Kim Jong-in is harshly criticizing Leader Ahn, but now is not the time for that. Let us all unite to judge the government's incompetence and unilateral rule."

Former lawmaker Na criticized the current administration's 'incompetence' regarding COVID-19 vaccination. She said, "We must also judge the incompetence in vaccine administration. Among OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) countries, we became the last, the 104th country to vaccinate," and emphasized, "I earnestly appeal to the citizens of Busan. This election is more than just choosing a capable mayor; it is the first step toward regime change."
