[Asia Economy Reporter Naju-seok] Former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, a presidential candidate from the People Power Party, emphasized on the 7th that he is "the candidate the Democratic Party fears the most."

On the same day, Yoo made this statement during the 'Change Korea, 3 Major Promises' event held at ASSA Studio in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, targeting candidates in the first round of the presidential primary. Through his pledge called 'Home-cooked Meal,' he introduced job creation promises including solving real estate issues through private-sector-led supply policies, nurturing one million digital innovation talents, and creating one million social service jobs.

Yoo emphasized, "I am strong in the economy, strong in security, strong in the future, and above all, strong against the Democratic Party." He promised, "The Democratic Party fears my centrist expansion because they are afraid of it. If they want a regime change, Yoo Seung-min will take the lead to crush the Democratic Party and open an era of a successful president and a successful government."

During the discussion, Jang Ki-pyo, the party committee chairman for Gimhae-eul, Gyeongnam, who participated in Yoo's announcement debate, asked about solutions for militant labor unions. Yoo responded, "If militant or privileged labor unions commit illegal acts, I will punish them thoroughly," but added, "We must never give up dialogue with the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions and the Federation of Korean Trade Unions, just as we engage in talks with North Korea." He continued, "Sweden, the Netherlands, and Germany call both labor and management to reach compromises by conceding core interests on both sides," and stated, "If we fail to achieve social grand compromise, we cannot move forward even a step. Above all, I believe we must stand in a fair position, neither favoring companies nor labor, and I have lived from such a fair position."
