[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, visited Mokpo, Jeollanam-do on the 23rd, presenting himself as the right person to carry on the spirit of the late President Kim Dae-jung, promising national unity and the development of Mokpo.

Around 1 p.m., after finishing lunch near Mokpo Station and stepping onto the campaign stage, Candidate Yoon recalled the late President Kim Dae-jung, stating that the Kim Dae-jung-Obuchi Declaration stabilized Korea-Japan relations.

He also spoke about the necessity of Honam's development from Gyeongsang Province and Gyeongsang Province's development from Jeolla Province, adding that the country can progress through such national unity.

Candidate Yoon said, "I am more suitable than the Democratic Party as the right person to inherit President Kim Dae-jung's spirit," and criticized, "The people who ruined the Democratic Party are the ones forming Lee Jae-myung's Democratic Party."

He stated, "The Democratic Party put forward the main figure of the Daejang-dong Gate as a presidential candidate, which is not the image of the past DJ's Democratic Party," and argued, "The presidential election is not a contest between the Democratic Party and the People Power Party, but a contest between the sensible great people and the corrupt Democratic Party's Lee Jae-myung."

He revealed a blueprint for the development of Mokpo and expressed a solemn determination for the presidential election.

Candidate Yoon promised, "At Mokpo Station, the political hometown of DJ, I will become an honest president for the people," and added, "I will support making Mokpo a maritime tourism city and applying the 4th industrial revolution to the marine food industry to achieve global competitiveness, as desired by the citizens of Mokpo."

He further added, "If the citizens of Mokpo firmly judge the corrupt forces on March 9, I will achieve national unity with sensible and conscientious Democratic politicians and realize the development of Mokpo and the nation."

Meanwhile, after finishing the campaign in Mokpo, Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, moved to Haido, Sinan County, where the birthplace of President Kim Dae-jung is located.
