South Korea's spread of infection General election campaign Mun administration's response is the most important issue
In South Korea, a general election campaign to select parliament members began on the 2nd. With the spread of the new coronavirus, the response of the Moon Jae-in administration has become the biggest issue.
In Korea, 9976 cases of the new coronavirus have been identified by the 2nd, but the spread of infection has slowed recently, and the general election every four years to select a member of the Diet is on the 15th of this month. The election campaign started on the 2nd as scheduled for the polls.
The general election is positioned as the "interim evaluation" of President Moon Jane, whose term is only two years old, and over 300 seats, the innovative ruling party "both Democrats" and the largest conservative opposition party. It is expected to be developed around the confrontation of the Future Integration Party.
Recent polls have shown that Moon Jane's approval rating has risen to 55% for the first time in one year and four months, as the spread of infection has slowed.
For this reason, so far it has been seen as an advantage for the ruling party, and the ruling party will promote measures to prevent the spread of infection during the campaign.
Opposition parties have called for support by criticizing that the Mun administration's announced economic measures are inadequate and calling for the need for larger support measures.
In this general election, due to the effects of the new coronavirus, each candidate will hold a rally and refrain from shaking hands with voters. Some have pointed out.
