Lee Jae-myung: "A 'Judge' Was Chosen in the Last Election... Now We Need 'Workers' for the June 1 Local Elections"

"It is difficult to properly run a country with only a judge"
"Now is the time when a competent worker is needed for stability in state affairs, beyond just a judge"

[Asia Economy, Reporter Park Juni and Reporter Oh Jooyeon] Lee Jae-myung, the Chief Election Strategy Committee Chairman of the Democratic Party of Korea, appealed on the 11th, saying, "In the last presidential election, the people chose a 'judge' over a 'worker.' I believe that in the June 1 local elections, the people will choose a 'competent worker.' Fellow citizens, I want to work."

At the launch ceremony of the Central Election Strategy Committee held at the National Assembly Members' Office Building in Yeouido, Seoul, Lee stated, "I have not forgotten that the greatest responsibility for the result of the last presidential election lies with me, Lee Jae-myung, as the candidate."

He said, "There is a clear truth that power, when concentrated, leads to corruption. That is why power must be distributed, checks and balances must be maintained, and within this balance, it is a contest to see who serves the people best."

He continued, "In the last presidential election, a judge was chosen over a worker. However, it is difficult to properly run a country with only a judge. Now, to restore balance and ensure stability in state affairs, this is the time when a competent worker is needed."

He added, "I believe that the Democratic Party candidates running in the June 1 local elections are competent candidates who will prove their abilities through their achievements. This time, for true stability and balance in state affairs, I am confident that the people will make an excellent choice by selecting workers in the local elections, following their previous choice of a judge, and thereby improve our lives."

In conclusion, he emphasized, "There is one last thing I must say. Fellow citizens, I want to work. We need people who are ready to work, we need workers. I ask you to give us the opportunity to work and to choose workers who can serve the people."
