[Asia Economy Reporters Bomryeong Geum, Hyunji Kwon] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, visited Gyeongbuk and emphasized the 'judgment against the Democratic Party.'

On the morning of the 18th, during a campaign rally in Sangju, Gyeongbuk, Candidate Yoon stated, "I ask the people of Gyeongbuk to unite and strongly judge the mutant party that has elected the main body of the Daejang-dong corruption forces as its presidential candidate."

Candidate Yoon criticized, "Did the citizens of Sangju and the people of Gyeongbuk call and raise me, Yoon Seok-yeol, to smash the corrupt, incompetent, and shameless Democratic Party regime? There are many good politicians in the Democratic Party as well. The problem is that a few people trapped by outdated ideologies and holding unreasonable ideas contrary to common sense are manipulating the party both inside and outside, preventing sensible and excellent politicians from thriving."

He continued, "Shouldn't we strongly judge the Democratic Party in this presidential election? The People Power Party has already been judged and reformed several times. That's why they put forward a political newcomer like me as a presidential candidate," he added.

This statement was also made during a campaign rally in Gimcheon, Gyeongbuk. At the rally held in front of Gimcheon Station, Candidate Yoon said, "Why did you support me and bring me here? Isn't it an order to smash the corrupt, incompetent, and arrogant Democratic Party regime and prevent such a regime from continuing?" He pointed out, "Looking at what the Democratic Party regime has done in the past five years, is there anything done properly in diplomacy, security, economy, education, or real estate?"

He also raised criticism of the government's COVID-19 policies. Candidate Yoon said, "People cooperated with the government for two years by wearing masks and practicing social distancing, even though it disrupted their livelihoods. What is this? With 100,000 confirmed cases daily due to Omicron, the government has not devised any treatment measures. Is this a government?"

He also appealed to the 'patriotism' of Gyeongbuk residents to win votes. He said, "When the country was difficult and in crisis, you protected it with patriotism, but the extension of the shameless regime's rule will cause the country to collapse if we continue to stand by. Security and economy are shaking, and the future is disappearing. The presidential election comes every five years. I urge our citizens and residents to rise up and rally this time," he emphasized.
