[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] The candidates for the People Power Party leadership appealed for support at the final joint speech held on the 4th at the KT Talent Development Center in Daejeon.


Some candidates emphasized that they are the right person to realize the 'Chungcheong Great Ambition Theory.' On that day, candidate Na Kyung-won stated, "Representative Song Young-gil is already shaking things up by mentioning the Yoon Seok-yeol file," adding, "I, Na Kyung-won, am firmly guarding the negative path and will strike decisively with one blow." She said, "There are some (presidential candidates) who do not know the party or politics," and added, "If they become candidates, a seasoned sherpa is needed." She continued, "An inexperienced sherpa can put the entire expedition team in great danger," and said, "I, the seasoned sherpa Na Kyung-won, will lead the expedition team to the summit of regime change."


Candidate Joo Ho-young also emphasized, "The Democratic Party openly talks about conducting election manipulation negative campaigns against former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol," and said, "The party will take responsibility to expose the election manipulation and prevent such tactics from happening again." Joo added, "The 'Chungjeong Great Ambition Theory' that Chairman Kim Jong-pil could not achieve is now a golden opportunity to bloom as the 'Chungjeong Reality Theory,'" and said, "Former Deputy Prime Minister Kim Dong-yeon and former Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol are the protagonists."


Candidate Hong Moon-pyo criticized both Na and Joo. Hong said, "Since one-on-one confrontations don't work, it's a factional fight," and frankly pointed out, "Honestly, Joo Ho-young and Na Kyung-won are just evenly matched."


Meanwhile, as Daejeon is a city of education, some candidates presented their educational visions.


Candidate Lee Jun-seok said, "While leading an educational volunteer organization, I deeply felt the unfairness of opportunities caused by educational inequality," and pointed out, "A society where students have to erase their dreams because of the color of the spoon they were born with is not a fair society." Lee emphasized, "Our duty is to strengthen public education so that children do not feel lacking before standing at the starting line of competition," and added, "The People Power Party must design accompaniment with the underprivileged so that, along with securing fairness through competition, as many people as possible can participate."



Candidate Cho Kyung-tae, considering that Daejeon is closely related to science, technology, and startups, said, "Politicians are deceiving the youth by saying they will create jobs," and added, "Youth jobs must be created by themselves. I am confident that today's youth can make Korea a world-class country through a startup nation and entrepreneurial spirit."
