[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Sim Sang-jung, the presidential candidate of the Justice Party, visited Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province, considered the 'home turf' of Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, on the 19th to appeal for support from minor parties.

At a campaign rally at Moran Market in Seongnam, Candidate Sim said, "The presidential election is continuing without the minimum morality and qualifications of the two major party candidates being verified."

Candidate Sim criticized, "Candidate Lee appointed Yoo Dong-gyu, who is unqualified, as the acting head of Seongnam Development Corporation simply because he was a close aide, and this person (Mr. Yoo) accepted bribes and gave preferential treatment to the private sector."

Regarding Yoon Seok-youl, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, Candidate Sim pointed out, "Although he is nominally a prosecutor, his wife is involved in stock price manipulation," and questioned, "Can we entrust the South Korean economy to someone whose involvement in stock price manipulation has not been properly investigated?"

At the traditional market in Sutaek-dong, Guri, Candidate Sim stated, "Although the Justice Party has six seats, we need to elect a president from a small party to enable cooperative politics," adding, "If one of the two major parties' candidates becomes president, cooperative politics, integrative politics, and coalition politics will all be meaningless."

During a focused campaign rally in front of the terminal in Incheon, Candidate Sim said, "People say there is no one to vote for, but some say that I, Sim Sang-jung, am the only truly clean and prepared candidate," and added, "My husband is someone who would not have a speck of dust even if thoroughly investigated."

Candidate Sim also strongly criticized the Democratic Party for the surprise passage of a 14 trillion won supplementary budget bill submitted by the government during the early morning session of the National Assembly's Budget and Accounts Special Committee. She pointed out, "The two major party candidates competed over 35 trillion won or 50 trillion won, but it all became a bubble, and 14 trillion won was confirmed."

Candidate Sim emphasized, "Candidate Lee is moving toward the conservative side to compete with Candidate Yoon, and the people of Incheon must immediately put an end to the entrenched two-party politics and double standards politics."
