In addition, a debate between candidates will begin ahead of the candidates for the Democratic Party’s Seoul Mayor by-election (February 26-March 1). According to the results of recent public opinion polls, prospective candidate Park Young-seon is widening the gap with the prospective candidate Sang-ho Woo in the suitability of passport candidates. However, candidate Woo, a former party spokesman, announced that “we will begin to verify the policy against Park,” and a sparkling debate with Candidate Park, a former broadcasting station anchor, is expected.

Sang-ho Woo, “Not like the Democratic Party of Park Young-sun’s pledge”

Candidate Woo held a press conference at the National Assembly on the morning of the 14th, saying, “The pledges announced by Candidate Young-seon Park remain in the abstract area that lacks concreteness, so we will begin to sharply verify our policy capabilities.” “The pledge of ’21 minutes compact city’ is a panacea. It claims as though it is a democratic pledge,” he said. Candidate Woo said, “There are no other options other than limited areas such as 21-minute cities and vertical gardens, so far, with only fifteen days remaining in the contest,” said Candidate Woo. It is the least polite to do.” Regarding Candidate Park’s pledge, Candidate Woo presented three questions:’Meager pledge limited to a specific field’,’Reliability of reversing the position of the 4.5-day week’, and’Candidate lacking in cooperative Seoul’, and officially answered Park’s answer. Requested. Regarding Candidate Park’s recent visit to Seoul Station and saying that’the idea of ​​introducing the 4.5-day week system has become firm’, “Anyone who opposed the introduction of the 52-hour system suddenly insisted on the 4.5-day system instead of 5 days.” The inconsistent actions of changing the remarks from time to time cannot guarantee the reliability of the policy.” Candidate Park visited a vehicle base in Chang-dong, Seoul earlier this month and announced that he would supply a public apartment at half price of 10 million won per pyeong, and then withdrew the next day when local lawmakers criticized it. Close consultation with the mayor of the ward and the city council is necessary, but the impression that it is a candidate who is insufficient to implement a city policy of cooperation and communication cannot be erased.”

TV debate, should we shake the market?

Candidate Woo’s offensive like this is not irrelevant to the popularity of candidate Park. According to a survey on the suitability of candidates for the Mayor of Seoul, released on the 10th by Real Meter, a polling agency, Park won 26.2%, ranking first among the ruling and opposition candidates, but Woo was only 7.7%. In a survey of only the passport candidates, the gap between Park and Woo (11.7%) widened. Candidate Woo has recently been criticized for posting sympathetic writings in a handwritten letter written by former Mayor Park’s wife, who insisted on the’innocent’ of former Seoul Mayor Park Won-soon. (Refer to the website of Real Meter or the website of the Central Election Poll Deliberation Committee for details.) Candidate Woo announced that he would overturn the market situation through a television discussion. He met with reporters after the conference that day and said, “Candidate Park is a defending champion who maintains an election method that does not create issues. I have been holding policy presentations. If the contents are compared during the policy verification process, the jeonse can be reversed.” Candidate Woo’s side is planning to issue a debate about’who is a Democratic candidate’ through criticism of Candidate Park’s policy. Candidate Park’s side, who said he would cross the party contest with a competitive edge in the finals, refrained from responding. On this day, in response to Candidate Woo’s offensive, “I want to ask what it means to be a Democratic Party. We must never forget that we are a ruling party. I hope that the policy will be fully discussed in the future TV debates.” Prospects are mixed as to the impact of television debate on the outcome of the contest. A party official said, “The TV debate is important, but the gap between the two candidates is widening, so I don’t think there is much interest.” Another person said, “Both candidates are speakers optimized for broadcasting. When remarks become hot topic through television discussions, it can shake the market. “It’s a long period of two weeks in the election.” The two candidates have three TV discussions on the 15th (Cultural Broadcasting), the 17th (Yonhap News TV), and the 25th (Korean Broadcasting). The results of the contest will be announced on the 1st of the new month. By Kim Won-cheol, staff reporter [email protected]
