Gwangju 343 Organizations of the Disabled Community "Support Lee Jae-myung · Condemn Yoon Seok-youl"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Sharp criticism against Yoon Seok-yeol, the People Power Party's presidential candidate, continues daily in the Gwangju area.

On the afternoon of the 14th, 343 organizations from the Gwangju regional pan-disability community held a press conference to condemn candidate Yoon and declared their support for Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party presidential candidate.

The group stated, "We, the pan-disability community of Gwangju Metropolitan City, support Democratic Party presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung and condemn candidate Yoon Seok-yeol's remarks on political retaliation," adding, "At this moment, we desperately need a leader with strong will and bold execution to end political retaliation on this land and achieve national unity despite any adverse conditions."

They continued, "Candidate Lee Jae-myung is the only figure who will lead a harmonious country centered on equality and people, where no one is discriminated against or excluded as a member of society, and has practiced pragmatic politics that saves everyone. He has been deeply concerned about socially vulnerable groups," explaining their support background, "We believe he sincerely understands the hard lives, long hopes, and wishes of people with disabilities and their families as an ordinary citizen."

Regarding candidate Yoon Seok-yeol, they said, "By making the absurd claim that he will investigate President Moon Jae-in, he has openly revealed his lack of qualifications as a leader of the Republic of Korea," adding, "When asked whether he would investigate the previous administration's deep-rooted evils, he repeatedly emphasized his intention to investigate and punish President Moon Jae-in, saying, 'Yes, yes, it must be done.'"

Furthermore, "Our pan-disability community in the Gwangju area has long desired politicians who understand the lives of people with disabilities and a hopeful society where they live together, enduring with the wish that 'tomorrow will be better than today, and there will be some change,'"

They added, "We also deeply remember the pain of political retaliation, such as former President Kim Dae-jung's death sentence and former President Roh Moo-hyun's passing due to excessive prosecution investigations," and "No presidential candidate from any party in history has openly declared political retaliation. Candidate Yoon is attempting to recreate political retaliation like past presidents by proclaiming investigations and political retaliation against the previous government under the banner of a prosecutorial republic."
