Ha Tae-kyung: "Hong called Yoon 'Jusapa and Parisite' with double insults... lacks inclusiveness"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party and co-chairman of Yoon Seok-yeol's campaign, pointed out that presidential primary candidate Hong Joon-pyo cannot compare to Yoon in terms of inclusiveness and unity.

On the 1st, on TBS Traffic Broadcasting's 'Kim Eo-jun's News Factory,' Ha explained his reason for choosing Yoon Seok-yeol's camp, saying, "I regarded inclusiveness and unity as very important criteria," and emphasized, "There is a qualitative difference in political inclusiveness between candidate Yoon and candidate Hong."

He added, "Even though candidate Hong's approval ratings have recently risen, you can see that many incumbents and party district committee chairpersons are flocking to candidate Yoon's side, while not many are going to candidate Hong's side."

He criticized, "After I chose candidate Yoon, candidate Hong reacted almost with harsh insults, calling him a 'Jusapa (pro-North Korea faction) descendant,' and insulted the lawmakers supporting Yoon as 'swarms of flies.' This kind of divisive and conflict-inciting politics is why lawmakers are less inclined to support candidate Hong."

Meanwhile, regarding the current situation, Ha said, "Although the public opinion polls show a slight loss within the margin of error, the party member vote is overwhelmingly favorable now, so overall, I think Yoon will win by a considerable margin," expressing confidence in Yoon's election as the People Power Party's presidential candidate.

Regarding whether candidate Yoon will visit Gwangju, he said, "Of course he will go, but it is difficult to set a specific date," adding, "(The visit) needs to be carefully considered to avoid it being perceived as a show."

In this context, he explained, "The schedule, which will likely proceed without prior notice, will probably be announced just before the visit."
