Woo Sang-ho, a candidate for the Democratic Party, who is challenging the Seoul Mayor’s by-election, explained that he mentioned the letter of Kang Nan-hee, the wife of the late Mayor Park Won-soon.

On the morning of the 14th, the preliminary candidate Sang-ho Woo finished a press conference on the policy verification of candidate Park Young-seon of the same party at the communication hall of the National Assembly and received a related question at a meeting with reporters. He replied with the effect that it was a level of consolation of the bereaved family, and that he did not intend to’second offense’ on the victim.

“The heart to comfort the survivors… both sides are sincere

He said, “Since I declared running, I have been interviewed by the media more than 20 times,” he said. “Every time I’ll respect the decisions of the National Human Rights Commission and faithfully fulfill the recommendations,” “I will improve the system,” he said.

He added, “Pointing out that the measures to protect the victims were insufficient, I repeated 20 times that I would make the victims return to normal when I become the mayor of Seoul.” He said, “What is the policy that former Mayor Park Won-soon did well, and that he will inherit it and make up for it I also emphasized it. However, he explained, “Looking at the handwriting written by Ms. Nan-hee Kang,’There was a survivor here too, but there was no consolation for them.’

Preliminary candidate Woo said, “It is very embarrassing to the victims against it.”

He also expressed his dissatisfaction with the media reports, saying, “I’m sorry to the media that reported that (I) dealt with this issue in terms of election strategy.” He confessed, “If the election was unfavorable, I would rather attack Park Young-seon, why would it be to the bereaved of Park Won-soon?” and said, “It was harsh to say that only as an election strategy (in the press).”

He added, “The idea is to create a society that develops a step further,” he added. “I would like to offer words of comfort and encouragement to the victims, and wish the bereaved families not just crying and return to their normal lives.”

Earlier, Candidate Sang-ho Woo sent consolation through SNS, saying, “My eyes are getting hot,” when a handwritten letter of Kang’s “The truth has not been revealed yet. My husband Park Won-soon is not such a person” was released. He then referred to former Mayor Park Won-soon as “comrade,” and added, “We will implement Seoul city policy with the mindset that Park Won-soon is Woo Sang-ho and Woo Sang-ho is Park Won-soon.” Then, controversy arose not only on the victims side, but also inside and outside the politics.

To Park Young-seon, “Lack of concrete commitment… Is it the attitude of a defending champion?”

On the other hand, on this day, Candidate Sang-ho Woo pointed out to Candidate Park Young-seon, saying, “So far, we have only spoken of very limited commitments in a field,” and “There are no plans yet to lead the lives of the entire Seoul citizen in a better direction.”

Candidate Woo raised the day, saying, “It is a meager pledge limited to a specific field,” and “If you look at the pledges announced, you are staying in the abstract realm that lacks concreteness.” For example, he pointed out that “the 21st minute city pledge is a panacea, but it is difficult to see it as a Democratic pledge.”

In addition, “Candidate Young-seon Park visited Seoul Station for the Lunar New Year holiday yesterday and said,’My thoughts about the 4.5-day week system have become more firmly’.” . It was only a year ago.” He said, “The person who said that he was reflecting on the introduction of the 5-day system and 52 hours a week suddenly insisted that the introduction of the 4.5-day system instead of 5 days, and that the public should implement it immediately.” Demanded clarification, saying, “We cannot guarantee the reliability of the policy.”

Lastly, “candidate lacking in co-op Seoul,” said “Candidate Young-seon Park visited the Changdong vehicle base earlier this month and announced that he would supply a public apartment worth 10 million won per pyeong. The next day, the policy was urgently revised.” “The city administration of Seoul, especially the city policy of basic organizations, requires close consultation with the local lawmakers, district heads, and city council members.” “No,” he criticized.

Even at the meeting with reporters on this day, he raised his voice, saying, “Election should be a policy election. In the recent party election, Candidate Young-seon Park maintains a no-issue, no-commitment, and no-issue. . He said, “But I am convinced that if the comparison is enough, the world will be reversed,” he said. “The most important thing is also the level of preparation and authenticity of the candidate’s policy commitments,” he appealed for support.
