[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 5th, the Justice Party expressed hope for a competition of visions and alternatives for a major transformation of Korean society against inequality, climate crisis, and discrimination, directed at Yoon Seok-yeol, who was elected as the People Power Party's presidential candidate.


On the same day, the Justice Party stated in response to the news that Yoon was selected as the final presidential candidate of the People Power Party, "An election focused on competing over who is less bad amid the presidential race overshadowed by the 'accusation scandal' and Daejang-dong issues cannot open the future of the Republic of Korea," adding, "The game must be changed to a 'presidential election toward the future' that can take responsibility for citizens' lives."


Lee Dong-young, the chief spokesperson, emphasized in a briefing, "The 'path to reestablish fairness and justice' mentioned by candidate Yoon in his acceptance speech begins with the political responsibility of a leader."



He added, "The People Power Party and candidate Yoon should clarify the facts regarding various suspicions before the presidential election, including the 'illegal loan case of Busan Savings Bank' related to the accusation scandal and Daejang-dong loans, to ensure that citizens' voting rights are not compromised, and show a responsible stance and attitude."
