[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Ju-yeon] The Justice Party criticized Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, and his election campaign headquarters, saying, "They are persistently engaging in politics that incite gender conflict and national division by advocating for the abolition of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family," and added, "The People Power Party and candidate Yoon must stop politics that incite gender conflict and national division."


On the 10th, the Justice Party issued a statement in the afternoon, saying, "Before talking about abolishing the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, they should first propose policies that can change and protect women's lives."


Oh Seung-jae, spokesperson for the Justice Party's election campaign headquarters, pointed out, "Jang Ye-chan, head of the youth division, appeared on the radio and described the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family as a 'Misandry Department,' even using extreme rhetoric such as 'We need to completely smash it and start from zero base.'" He criticized, "Candidate Yoon's presidential election strategy is tantamount to a confession of 'anti-communism' and 'abolishing the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family.' We cannot entrust the future of the Republic of Korea to candidate Yoon, who is recklessly engaging in outdated and regressive politics that divide the people. Candidate Yoon should at least meet the minimum qualifications as a presidential candidate."


He continued, "What politics should smash is not the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family but gender discrimination and sexual violence," and pointed out, "However, the People Power Party and candidate Yoon have only led efforts to punish false accusations of sexual violence and have not presented any proper pledges related to gender discrimination or sexual violence."



Spokesperson Oh emphasized, "They should stop their cowardly behavior of remaining virtually silent on demands for verification, including TV debates, and inciting confrontation and division with a single line on social media outside the ring," and urged, "If candidate Yoon has nothing to hide, whether it is a TV debate or an unlimited one-on-one debate, we call on him to come out immediately to a place where he can fairly compete directly with his abilities."
