In the debate on initiative, criticism poured out over Candidate Yoon Seok-yeol's pledge to abolish the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family and cut the gender budget.



[Sim Sang-jung / Justice Party Presidential Candidate: (Adult budget) I was a little absurd because you said that you would cut the North Korean nuclear budget.

It seems that there is no one right next to Candidate Yoon to comment on women's policy.

Is there anything other than CEO Lee Jun-seok?]



[Yoon Seok-yeol/People's Power Presidential Candidate: What do you not know about the gender budget?

However, this is what I am saying when we adjust expenses that may have inflated performance indicators.]



Democratic Party candidate Lee Jae-myung continued the offensive over Candidate Yoon's past remarks on feminism.



[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party Presidential Candidate: Men and women do not get along well because of feminism.

So, you said that it affects the low birthrate, but what kind of feminism do our candidate thinks.]



[Yoon Seok-yeol/People's Power Presidential Candidate: Feminism is one of humanism, and respecting women as human beings is one of feminism. I think that.]



Candidate Lee once again apologized for the case of power-type sex crimes by the heads of regional organizations belonging to the Democratic Party.



[Lee Jae-myung / Democratic Party Presidential Candidate: There are people who commit power-type sex crimes and also participated in the second assassination in the name of the party as a victim complainant, and I would like to apologize first…

.]



Justice Party candidate Shim Sang-jung asked about the measures taken against the second perpetrator of the sexual assault case of former Chungnam governor Ahn Hee-jung, mentioned in the first TV debate.



[Sim Sang-jung / Justice Party Presidential Candidate: In the first discussion, I told you that the second perpetrator of sexual assault by Ahn Hee-jung (Candidate Lee Jae-myung) is working on the screenplay.

After that, did you find out the facts and take action?]



[Lee Jae-myung/Democratic Presidential Candidate: Because I do not know who you are specifically referring to.]



Candidate Shim said that he would firmly block the policy of hitting and splitting feminism, and candidate Ahn Cheol-soo. pointed out that regional imbalances are the cause of low marriage and fertility rates.
