"Will Monitor Yoon Seok-yeol Government"... 500 Democratic Party Members Declare Support for Yoon Seok-yeol

"Joining People Power Party for Regime Change"

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jun-yi] Five hundred members of the Democratic Party declared their support for Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, upon joining the party.

On the 25th, they held a press conference at the central party office in Yeouido, Seoul, stating, "Five hundred Democratic Party members have joined the People Power Party for the development of Korea's future through a regime change in the 20th presidential election."

They added, "We firmly believed in the Democratic Party and President Moon Jae-in's promises of reform and democratic governance, but the behavior shown by the Democratic Party government over the past five years was nothing but disappointing. Except for wages and income, prices have risen across the board, taxes have ballooned like a snowball due to soaring housing prices that increase overnight, and ordinary citizens without homes have lost their dreams of owning a house," explaining their reasons for leaving the party.

They also criticized Lee Jae-myung, the Democratic Party's presidential candidate. They said, "It has been revealed that Daejang-dong, developed during Lee's tenure as mayor of Seongnam, was not for the residents or citizens but for himself and his close associates. We believe that only a regime change can break the chain of such illegality, law evasion, absurdity, and corruption."

Furthermore, they stated, "Our decision is a pure resolution as citizens and is not motivated by any private interests. Even if the regime changes, we will continue to monitor the Yoon Seok-yeol administration with a civic spirit and will not withhold our critical voices to ensure it moves in the right direction."
