[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Seohyun] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, criticized the Blue House’s opposition to Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party’s presidential candidate, regarding the proposal for a temporary suspension of the increased capital gains tax (capital gains tax) by saying, "The responsibility for the confusion lies entirely with candidate Lee Jae-myung."

On the 16th, Yoon posted a message titled "No sincerity or competence!" on his Facebook, stating this. He pointed out, "The ruling power is divided into two over the temporary suspension of the increased capital gains tax. They pushed it through ignoring the opposition party and public opinion, but when they realized it was disadvantageous in the election, they caused a commotion belatedly."

He continued, "The responsibility for the confusion lies entirely with candidate Lee Jae-myung," and explained, "The Democratic Party has emphasized strong regulations on multi-homeowners. Last July, they forcibly passed the amendment to the 'Income Tax Act' for increased capital gains tax, ignoring the opposition party."

He added, "Since the presidential candidate is asking to suspend an issue that his own party forcibly passed, there can be no absence of confusion," and questioned, "Moreover, since there was no prior discussion or coordination with the party, government, or Blue House, I don’t know what they are doing like this."

Yoon also questioned Lee’s qualifications as a presidential candidate by scrutinizing his recent actions. He emphasized, "The biggest problem is the lack of competence," and said, "If he thought it was wrong, he should have first actively persuaded the Blue House and gone through a thorough discussion process with party and government officials."

He continued, "The next problem is the lack of sincerity to definitely resolve the suffering of the people," and criticized, "He is not thinking about the people suffering from the increased capital gains tax, but is carelessly throwing out any words with the sole intention of gaining votes because it is disadvantageous in the election."

He added, "He emphasizes 'Lee Jae-myung’s Democratic Party,' but if this continues, it will become 'Lee Jae-myung’s Republic of Korea,' and it is clear that he will try to do whatever he wants," and concluded, "The people will see it that way too, but we cannot entrust state affairs to such a candidate."
