Yoon Seok-yeol "If Elected, the Presidential Office Will Also Move to Sejong" (Comprehensive)

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, stated, "If elected, I will firmly complete the Sejong administrative capital by establishing a presidential office there to further strengthen communication with the National Assembly."

On the 30th, Yoon visited the planned site of the National Assembly Sejong Chamber and said, "By facilitating communication between the executive branch and the legislature in close proximity, an opportunity to realize true parliamentary democracy has been created, and I am very pleased about this."

He explained, "The location of the Blue House must be comprehensively reviewed considering national security and diplomatic issues," but added, "As the head of the executive branch, the president needs a presidential office in Sejong to enhance communication with the National Assembly." He further elaborated, "If branch offices are established in the National Assembly and standing committees corresponding to major ministries located in Sejong are held there, the president will also need to preside over cabinet meetings in Sejong."

That day, Yoon visited the Chungcheong region for the first time after registering as a candidate in the party primary. He said, "The Chungcheong Great Hope theory is not about Chungcheong people gaining interests and acting arbitrarily, but about uniting the nation through the spirit of moderation and harmony held by the people of Chungcheong to become a leading force in national development."

At a press conference with Chungcheong regional journalists held that day, Yoon emphasized, "Chungcheong is geographically central in our country, and I believe the public sentiment in Chungcheong serves as a barometer for the entire Republic of Korea’s public sentiment and has always held the center of diverse thoughts. With the spirit of moderation of the Chungcheong people, who are not biased to any side, I will definitely achieve national unity."

He avoided giving a direct answer regarding pledges related to the Chungcheong region. He said, "I will not make excessive pledges just to gain votes, but I will surely find reasonable pledges that greatly help regional development and communicate them to the people of Chungcheong." However, as measures for balanced national development, he proposed ▲strengthening local finances ▲transportation development ▲discovering future regional industries.
