[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] Former lawmaker Na Kyung-won criticized the Democratic Party of Korea's negative election campaign tactics on the 8th, saying, "The Democratic Party should not conduct elections like this all the time."

In an interview with KBS Radio on the same day, former lawmaker Na said, "I was also targeted by the old 100 million won dermatology case," adding, "(The Democratic Party) always does this when they are desperate." She continued, "There are always certain media outlets involved. Every election, they bring out these kinds of recordings," pointing out, "The recording was made after the Daejang-dong incident broke out, and the person who made the recording is an applicant for the Democratic Party's proportional representation."

She explained, "We say this is 'Saengtaetang 2,' but I think the public understands the essence of the Daejang-dong incident well," adding, "It involved bad loans from Busan Savings Bank, and the candidate helped or covered up the investigation related to those involved in the loan process, but yesterday there was a statement saying the candidate is not related at all." She continued, "The important thing is not that there were bad loans, but that the people who invested 350 million won gained 850 billion won in profits," saying, "The plan was ultimately to delete the clause on excess profit recovery, and if the mayor did not know about it, does that make sense?"

Former lawmaker Na emphasized, "They said if you don't know, you're incompetent; if you know, you're an accomplice. Since it is reasonably inferred from the testimony of the accomplice that they knew, no matter how much more we talk, sensible and rational citizens already understand the essence."

She said, "I think the Democratic Party, which nominated candidate Lee, underestimated the people," and criticized, "There is no need to say more about his character as a president, but practically, the Daejang-dong incident and the Gyeonggi Province corporate card scandal have shown corruption itself wherever he goes."
