Candidate Park Ji Won Asserts President Yoon Will Leave Party or Be Ousted in Event of General Election Defeat

inews24 Views  

Park Ji Won, the Democratic Party candidate in the April 10th general elections in Haenam, Wando, and Jindo of South Jeolla Province, claimed that “President Yoon Suk Yeol will face a harsh fate, either leaving the People Power Party or being ousted, if he is defeated in the general elections.”

Appearing on the BBS Radio program Jeon Young Shin’s Morning Journal on the 3rd, Candidate Park asserted, “The floodgates against the Yoon Suk Yeol government were already open before the general elections. Just the other day, seeing the statement about increasing the number of doctors, the public is boiling with sentiment that the President should not act this way. He must change, must evolve.”

He continued, “There were even demands from candidates of the ruling People Power Party that ‘the President should kneel and apologize, and the entire presidential office and cabinet should resign. He should leave the party.’ This indicates the beginning of President Yoon’s lame-duck period. By April, Han Dong Hoon, the chairman of the emergency committee, will be gone, and by May, President Yoon Suk Yeol and First Lady Kim Gun Hee will be the ones who are crying.”

Additionally, Park emphasized, “For President Yoon to complete his 3-year term, he needs to change. It doesn’t matter who else changes; the President must take action to control inflation and interest rates.”

He also mentioned, “Our people have always said they are quiet when fed well and warm. But now, it’s not just that the economy is bad because of inflation and interest rates; it’s dead. President Yoon must take responsibility for this.”

Park predicted that the Democratic Party could secure a majority of 151 seats in the 4.10 general elections.

He questioned, “Have the people’s lives improved over the last two years?” He criticized the Yoon administration for failures in democracy, inter-Korean relations, and diplomacy, saying, “If more than a majority of the seats were given to the Yoon government, it would lead to dictatorship through the President’s control over the parliament.”

He added, “Therefore, the nation and the people must give at least a majority of the seats to the Democratic Party. If the Democratic Party campaigns more humbly and vigorously, I cautiously predict they could secure the majority of 151 seats.”
