Choo Kyung-ho and Lee Cheol-woo Visit Former President Park Geun-hye
Former President Park Geun-hye stated on May 4, in relation to the upcoming 9th nationwide local elections scheduled for June 3, "At times like this, it is all the more important to protect liberal democracy, and Daegu must play its role as the center of conservatism."
According to the camp of Chu Kyung-ho, the People Power Party's Daegu mayoral candidate, former President Park made these remarks during a meeting at her residence in Daegu with Chu Kyung-ho and Lee Cheol-woo, the Gyeongbuk governor candidate, on the same day. She said, "Hasn't Dalseong County grown to the extent that it is unrecognizable from the past? With that experience, I hope Candidate Chu will surely revive the Daegu economy." Also present at this meeting were Lee In-sun, Daegu City Party Chair, Koo Ja-geun, Gyeongbuk Provincial Party Chair, and Assemblyman Yoo Young-ha.
After visiting former President Park, Candidate Chu told reporters, "Former President Park recalled how she once praised my drive by saying, 'Minister Chu (who served as Minister for Government Policy Coordination during the Park Geun-hye administration) lives up to his name.' She helped create a relaxed atmosphere." He added, "She also offered words of encouragement to both Candidate Lee and me, saying she hopes we will work hard in this election, achieve good results, and definitely win."
In addition, according to Candidate Chu, former President Park said, "The choice of each and every citizen determines the fate of the country. I believe our people will make wise decisions," and, "Although it may seem as though everyone is scattered right now, I hope the candidates will work hard so that their strength can be united."
