Yoon Seok-yeol Posts 'Regime Change' on Facebook... Final Campaigning from Seoul via Gyeongbu Line

Jeju, Gyeongbu Line Connected Campaign
Will They Form a 'One Team' in Seoul?

[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Hyun-joo] On the 8th, Yoon Seok-yeol, the presidential candidate of the People Power Party, posted the four characters "Jeonggwon Gyochae" (regime change) on his Facebook.

On that day, Candidate Yoon conducted a campaign along the Gyeongbu Line, starting from Jeju and continuing through Busan, Daegu, Daejeon, and Seoul.

At the Jeju campaign, which was the first schedule, Candidate Yoon said, "People from the Democratic Party are saying that if I become president with the support of the people, they will obstruct the government from properly operating even with 180 seats, or even gather defectors from our party to impeach me," adding, "My strongest political support base is the sovereign people." He continued, "I say 'Do it if you tell me to.' I have the strongest political support base. Isn't it the people?"

At the Busan campaign, he criticized Lee Jae-myung, the presidential candidate of the Democratic Party of Korea, for his "Roosevelt-style" economic revival plan, saying, "He is imitating the New Deal policy of the United States in the 1930s, planning to heavily tax the rich, invest in finances, and carry out public works to stimulate the economy," calling it "a shortcut to ruining the country."

In Daejeon, he said, "We will quickly complete the merger with Ahn Cheol-soo's People Party to further expand the political landscape and outreach of the People Power Party," and added, "We will also cooperate splendidly with conscientious and rational figures from the opposition Democratic Party to achieve national unity and economic development."

Candidate Yoon is scheduled to hold his final campaign event in Seoul that day. It was reported that Ahn Cheol-soo, leader of the People Party, former lawmaker Yoo Seung-min, and former Jeju Governor Won Hee-ryong, who were candidates in the party primary, will attend the event.
