[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Ju-hee] On the 26th, Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, campaigned in Yangcheon-gu and Guro-gu, Seoul, sharply criticizing the Democratic Party and its presidential candidate Lee Jae-myung. Regarding the allegations of preferential treatment in Lee's Daejang-dong development project, he said, "The Daejang-dong ringleader calls me the Daejang-dong ringleader. Where else can you find such a comedy?" and criticized, "Isn't this a lie that treats the people almost like crayfish or crabs?"

On that day, Yoon climbed onto the campaign vehicle in front of Hyundai Department Store in Mok-dong, Yangcheon-gu, saying, "The people of the Republic of Korea are smarter and more diligent than those of any other country in the world, so as long as the government does not engage in unreasonable acts, there is no reason we cannot live well," and directly attacked the Democratic Party, saying, "An incompetent regime goes against common sense, and those from the old, outdated ideology of the activist group have divided up interests and positions."

He continued, addressing the Democratic Party's claim that the People Power Party is responsible for the Daejang-dong allegations, "Was I the mayor of Seongnam City? Was I the governor of Gyeonggi Province? Did I design Daejang-dong?" and raised his voice, saying, "Being dishonest and lying to the people is not treating the people as sovereigns."

Yoon continued his criticism of candidate Lee at the Guro-gu campaign. Regarding Lee's slogan of being a "competent economic president," he questioned, "Wherever he goes, corruption and incompetence have settled in, so how can he be called an economic expert? Not knowing what a key currency is, saying it doesn't matter if a lot of national bonds are issued, how on earth does he plan to take responsibility for people's livelihoods?"

Regarding the Democratic Party's proposal the previous day for electoral reform and constitutional amendment, he said, "What were they doing during their five years in power that they only bring this up ten days before the election?" and called it "a deceptive tactic to divert attention by political replacement when the people want a regime change."

He then emphasized, "Do not allow the extension of a corrupt, incompetent, and people-disrespecting regime any longer. Judge them strictly so that I and the People Power Party can become an honest government and an honest president. Please make March 9 a day when the people, the sovereigns of the Republic of Korea, win. This is your country."
