"June 3 Local Elections Will Be a Judgment on the Lee Jaemyung Administration"

Jang Donghyeok, leader of the People Power Party, stated on May 6, "Choo Mi-ae, the Democratic Party's candidate for Gyeonggi Governor, is not only the spearhead who dismantled the prosecution and destroyed the judiciary, but also the 'queen of destruction.' He added, "If Choo becomes governor, those who have formed a left-wing business food chain will entrench themselves in Gyeonggi Province."

Attending the People Power Party's Gyeonggi Provincial Election Victory Rally held in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, that morning, Jang declared, "This local election will be a judgment on the Democratic Party, which is a criminal organization, and its ringleader, President Lee Jaemyung."

Jang first addressed the special prosecutor for the withdrawal of indictments being pushed by the Democratic Party, saying, "In the Republic of Korea, the basic common sense and principle enshrined in Article 11 of the Constitution, that 'All citizens are equal before the law,' is collapsing." He continued, "Only President Lee is demanding to be made an exception to this principle."

Jang stated, "If the prosecution's indictment is unjust, one should confidently stand trial and be acquitted. But instead, they want to erase his crimes with a special prosecutor for withdrawal of indictments." He added, "Lee Jaemyung is the king of destruction, undermining all constitutional and judicial order."

Turning to candidate Choo, Jang said, "She was the most incompetent candidate in every field, not just the economy, during the ruling party's Gyeonggi Governor primary TV debate, but became the nominee thanks to the support of 'Gaeddal' (Choo’s fervent supporters)." He warned, "If Choo becomes governor, pushed by 'Gaeddal,' she will ultimately ruin Gyeonggi Province."

Regarding Yang Hyangja, the People Power Party’s candidate for Gyeonggi Governor, Jang commented, "She is someone who has created legends so far, and she must continue that legend in Gyeonggi Province." He emphasized, "The only candidate fit to lead Gyeonggi, a province with the most jobs and a key base for high-tech industries, is the 'economic governor' Yang Hyangja."
