Sim Sang-jung: "If Lee and Yoon want to address the Anti-Discrimination Act later, the President should do so later as well"

[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] On the 9th, Sim Sang-jung, the Justice Party presidential candidate, said to Lee Jae-myung of the Democratic Party and Yoon Seok-youl of the People Power Party, "If both of you plan to enact the Anti-Discrimination Act later, I hope you also become president later."

On this day, Candidate Sim stated on Facebook, "All discrimination must be urgently eliminated. Social consensus has already been reached."

Candidate Sim criticized, "Yesterday, when Candidate Lee Jae-myung visited the Korea Christian Federation, he said the Anti-Discrimination Act is 'not an urgent matter.' It seems that Candidate Lee does not see the suffocating atmosphere of discrimination that has enveloped our society."

She continued, "Countless socially vulnerable groups and minorities are suffocating from discrimination and, sadly, some are giving up on life. If creating a principle to prohibit such discrimination is not an urgent matter, then Candidate Lee becoming president is not an urgent matter at all," she pointed out.

She also criticized Candidate Yoon Seok-youl, saying, "Candidate Yoon recently expressed opposition to the enactment of the Anti-Discrimination Act."

Candidate Sim emphasized, "The Anti-Discrimination Act has been discussed since President Roh Moo-hyun's era. Now is the time to enact it. I, Sim Sang-jung, once again promise to become the president who will definitely enact the Anti-Discrimination Act."
