[Asia Economy reporters Naju-seok and Park Jun-i] Park Ji-hyun, Emergency Response Committee Chairperson of the Democratic Party of Korea, stated on the 31st, "Kim Eun-hye, the People Power Party candidate for Gyeonggi Province governor, underreported her assets by as much as 1.6 billion KRW," adding, "She cannot even properly calculate her own assets of 24.1 billion KRW, yet she claims she will manage the Gyeonggi Province budget of 33 trillion KRW."


At the Democratic Party Central Election Committee meeting held at the National Assembly that day, Chairperson Park said this. She continued, "While her courage is commendable, she should quietly step down instead of clinging to an election that would be invalid even if she wins."


She said, "The three who were difficult to drive out?Lee Jang-woo, the People Power Party candidate for Daejeon mayor; Kim Tae-heum, candidate for Chungnam governor; and Kim Jin-tae, candidate for Gangwon governor?have returned," adding, "We cannot hand over the local elections to them." Chairperson Park emphasized, "We must prevent these foul-mouthed individuals from taking control of local governments."



Regarding the June 1 local elections, Chairperson Park appealed, "Please choose capable workers," and "Please select Democratic Party candidates who will improve quality of life as citizens of an advanced country." She said, "Choose true freedom that allows those with less to enjoy equally, not fake freedom enjoyed only by the wealthy," and added, "Please choose Democratic Party candidates so that the president cannot divide the people with hatred and discrimination, so that the president’s family cannot manipulate state affairs at will, so that the prosecution cannot oppress the people, and so that incompetent politicians cannot destroy the achievements built by the Democratic Party."
