[Asia Economy Reporter Kum Bo-ryeong] The People Power Party raised their voices demanding that Lee Jae-myung, Governor of Gyeonggi Province and the final presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, stop his 'Asura politics.'

On the 10th, Im Seung-ho, spokesperson for the People Power Party, issued a statement saying, "As the Daejang-dong gate tightens around his neck, Governor Lee is noisily moving his mouth and making absurd analogies," adding, "Isn't this Lee Jae-myung-style 'Asura politics' aimed at obscuring the essence of the situation?" Lee was officially selected as the Democratic Party's 20th presidential candidate that day.

Spokesperson Im said, "I want to congratulate Governor Lee, who was selected as the final candidate after a long primary schedule, but my concerns come first," and criticized, "Throughout the primary, he has continued actions that degrade the dignity of our politics."

Im continued, "From the start, he lowered the level of the Democratic Party primary with his 'pants remark,' and then hurled abusive language at the opposition leader, saying he would 'dismiss him from his post and place him under confinement,'" adding, "Governor Lee, who had raised serious concerns about his morality even before running due to a history of drunk driving and verbal abuse toward his family, has not changed an inch." Lee caused controversy by responding to a question about the 'actress scandal' during a preliminary TV debate with, "Shall I pull my pants down once more?"

Spokesperson Im also said, "Governor Lee, who has nothing to boast about in morality, character, or policy, is plummeting to the bottom as the truth of the Daejang-dong gate is revealed," and added, "Despite his closest aides being involved in the Daejang-dong gate, he shamelessly tries to deceive the public by calling it the 'People Power Party gate.'"

Along with this, he urged Governor Lee to accept a special prosecutor investigation related to Daejang-dong. Im emphasized, "The first step that candidate Lee, selected as the Democratic Party's final candidate, should take is to accept the special prosecutor investigation," and said, "If he is confident of his innocence, he should shut his noisy mouth and face the special prosecutor with dignity."

He added, "The people will no longer be deceived by Lee Jae-myung-style 'Asura politics' that obscures the essence. If Governor Lee continues his 'Asura politics' of abusive language and threats toward the opposition, the stern judgment of the people will await him at the end," and said, "I sincerely hope that Governor Lee will stop his antics that destroy the dignity of politics and join in creating a presidential election that moves all citizens, even at this late stage."
