[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Progressive Party Gwangju Metropolitan City Party strongly criticized the Democratic Party Gwangju candidates on the 6th through a statement, calling their trip to Seoul to support Song Young-gil, the Seoul mayoral candidate, "the height of arrogance."

They emphasized, "At a time when the main election is just around the corner, the candidates going to support campaigns in other regions without any consideration for Gwangju citizens is a disregard for Gwangju voters."

They continued, "The Gwangju nominations were no different," evaluating, "Recently, the Political Reform Gwangju Citizens' Coalition described the Democratic Party Gwangju Party's June 1 local election nominations as a repeated process of poor and unfair primaries, including secret backroom deals and nominating candidates who had been disciplined within the party."

Furthermore, they stated, "Rather than responding to the Gwangju citizens' aspirations for democracy, they repeatedly conduct poor nominations, treating it as if 'just sticking a stick' guarantees election. It has been just over two months since the presidential election ended, and Gwangju citizens are still boiling with the defeat of the presidential election and concerns about the Yoon Seok-yeol Prosecutor Republic, yet the Democratic Party, which should take responsibility, is still not coming to its senses," criticizing the party.

They added, "The arrogance of the Democratic Party, which is repeatedly happening only in Gwangju, will surely be judged by Gwangju citizens in the June 1 local elections."
