Song Gap-seok, Chairman of the Democratic Party Gwangju Branch, Criticizes Yoon Seok-yeol's Local Pledges as 'Empty Promises'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Song Gap-seok, chairman of the Gwangju Metropolitan City Party of the Democratic Party of Korea, sharply criticized the seven regional pledges announced by Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, during his visit to Gwangju on the 6th, calling them "empty promises."

In a statement released that day, Chairman Song said, "Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate who visited Gwangju today, announced 'shoddy Gwangju pledges hastily put together reluctantly.'"

He added, "Despite visiting Gwangju more than four times since declaring his political participation, he failed to present a single proper pledge. The Gwangju pledges announced just a month before the election were nothing but empty promises. There were virtually no pledges directly related to Gwangju's future, and the list was no different from simply enumerating representative policy tasks currently being promoted in various regions."

He also criticized, "Instead of spending time writing superficial handwritten letters to court Honam votes, shouldn't the order be to understand Honam's current issues and prepare concrete policies and implementation plans? Instead of appealing for double-digit support rates and touring places like Mudeungsan and the Dadohae, shouldn't he show sincere policy efforts for Honam's development?"

He concluded, "We condemn Candidate Yoon's pledge announcement, which clearly revealed his misunderstanding of Gwangju's issues rather than pledges for Gwangju's development," adding, "Stop provoking the anger of Gwangju citizens with more shoddy policies."
