Seoul Mayor Woo Sang-ho’s by-election and the Democratic Party’s preliminary candidate announced that they would verify the policy of the preliminary candidate Park Young-seon at a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Hall on the morning of the 14th. Rep. Woo said on the day ahead of the 13th of the Democratic Party’s primaries, “Candidate Park has only spoken of promises in a very limited field. He criticized that it stays in the abstract realm that lacks concreteness.” Newsis
In addition, Rep. Sang-ho Woo, a candidate for the Seoul Mayor’s by-election by the Democratic Party, fired a direct shot against the policy pledge of former Minister of SMEs and Startups Park Young-seon against the confrontation on the 14th. Rep. Woo, who volunteered for a press conference at the National Assembly, said that the pledges of former Minister Park, including the ’21 Minute City’, “remain in an abstract area lacking specificity.” ”
The two candidates have created a warm atmosphere by calling each other’sister’ and’brother’, but on the 13th, Congressman Woo first switched to offensive on the day before the start of the contest (26th).
Woo Sang-ho, “Park Young-sun’s pledge, it’s not like the Democratic Party”
Rep. Woo held a press conference at the National Assembly Communication Hall this morning and pointed out that “the 21-minute city pledge is as if it were a panacea, but it is difficult to see it as a Democratic pledge.” “Candidate Park has only spoken in a very limited field so far.” did. It is pointed out that Candidate Park makes only pledges limited to specific regions and businesses, such as ’21 Minute City’ and’Vertical Garden’, rather than a pledge that encompasses the overall municipal administration.
The 21-minute compact city is a representative pledge made by former Minister Park. It is a plan to make housing, jobs, and leisure facilities resolved anywhere in Seoul within 21 minutes. The vertical garden, one of the means to realize a 21 minute city, is a pledge to create a park and a smart farm in the middle of the building, and to solve housing and rest by including a one-person house.
Criticism of the promise of 4.5 days a week and ’10 million won per pyeong apartment’
Rep. Woo also pointed out that “there is a problem with reliability,” even though former Minister Park recently announced that he will introduce a 4.5-day week system. At a youth policy meeting hosted by the party on the 8th, former Minister Park said, “I want to establish a 4.5-day system a week if I become the mayor of Seoul.” After visiting Seoul Station on the 12th, “I became more firm. The public institution responsible for safety will introduce a 4.5-day week system.”
Regarding this, Rep. Woo mentioned the fact that former Minister Park said, “I voted in favor of the 52-hour bill a week, and I am reflecting on it” (November 13, 2019) when he was the Minister of the Middle and High Energy. “It was only a year ago. . Those who said they were opposed to the introduction of the 5 days a week and 52 hours a week suddenly said that they should introduce the 4.5 days system.” He added, “The credibility of the policy cannot be guaranteed by an inconsistent move to change the statements of the past.”

Regarding former Minister Park’s policy of “supplying 10 million won per pyeong public apartments”, Rep. Woo also criticized “It seems difficult to escape criticism that it is an insufficient candidate for cooperative Seoul.” On the 31st of last month, former Minister Park made a pledge to build a 10 million won per pyeong land rental apartment in the area of Chang-dong vehicle base in Chang-dong, Dobong-gu, Seoul. Then, from Democrats in neighboring districts, public rebuttals such as, “The place where the relocation of the vehicle base in Changdong was premised not to be built when the relocation was confirmed” (Rep. Kim Seong-hwan, Roh Won-byeong) poured out.
Rep. Woo said, “The administration of Seoul city requires close consultations with local lawmakers, district mayors, and city council members.” I can’t.”
“Convinced that the premortal world can be reversed”
The turn of the offensive on this day is analyzed by the number of wins and losses of Rep. Woo, who is unable to close the gap in approval ratings in various opinion polls. According to a poll on the suitability of candidates for the mayor of Seoul, released on the 10th by Real Meter, a public opinion polling agency, Park won 26.2%, ranking first among the ruling and opposition candidates, but Rep. Woo only recorded 7.7%. Even in a survey of only pan-passport candidates, there was a difference of more than 20 percentage points, with former Minister Park at 32.8% and Congressman Woo at 11.7%. (※ For more information, refer to the Real Meter website or the Central Election Poll Deliberation Committee website.)
Rep. Woo met with reporters after a press conference and said about this reality, “I think that Candidate Park is the attitude of a defending champion, maintaining an election method that does not create a controversial issue.” “I initially raised the theory of integration (with the Open Democratic Party). And held a policy presentation. “I am confident that if the contents are compared during the policy verification process, the jeonse can be reversed.”
In response to Congressman Woo’s offensive, former Minister Park said, “I want to ask you what it means to be a Democratic Party.” “We must not forget that we are a ruling party. I hope that the policy will be fully discussed in the future TV debate.” The two candidates are scheduled to attend the press conference alongside Seol Min-shim, head of the party, Nak-yeon Lee.
