In addition, the Democratic Party candidate Park Young-sun, the power of the people, and Oh Se-hoon, Mayor of Seoul, meet at 2 pm this afternoon at a TV debate hosted by the Broadcasting Journalists Club.
This is the last TV debate two days before the re-election.
Candidate Oh’s suspicion of compensation for land in Naegok-dong is expected to be the biggest issue in the discussion.
Candidate Park seems to focus on the suspicion of Candidate Oh’s lies that he was not at the survey site based on the testimony of the owner of the ecological bathhouse at the time that Candidate Oh surveyed the land of Naegok-dong and ate.
On the other hand, Candidate Oh is expected to refute that the owner’s testimony is a vain claim that the facts are not correct, and that he should not be overwhelmed.
The ruling and opposition leaders again fought over real estate issues.
Democrats struck opposition candidates who pledged to deregulate aid speculators because of their anger over real estate.
