[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunju Lee] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, strongly criticized the ruling party and government on the 21st for considering freezing property taxes next year, calling it "extremely cunning."

On the same day, Yoon posted on his Facebook, "Why are various taxes and public utility fees being frozen until next year? And only for one year," pointing out, "This is why the term 'vote-freeze' is being used."

He said, "While the policy to raise the official property price to 90% of the market price remains unchanged, they say they will not raise property taxes next year," and questioned, "Is it because the election is approaching that they suddenly think they should freeze both the tax bomb and public utility fees?"

He continued, "This is not just a trick; it is clear that they are treating the people like monkeys," adding, "Everyone knows that it makes no sense to say you don't have to pay next year."

He also said, "The 'pseudo regime judgment' frame staged by candidate Lee Jae-myung and the Democratic Party will not easily overcome the wall of smart public sentiment," and asked, "Who would be tempted by the promise to raise everything again after March 9 next year?"

He added, "Unless the 'Moonjaemyeong (Moon Jae-in + Lee Jae-myung) faction' is replaced, the suspended tax and public utility fee bombs will fall again on the heads of the people," warning, "'Temporary freeze' is followed by 'rapid surge'."
